I always do. Reason is because I use to get frustrated if I found out I had missed anything. Plus I want to do EVERYTHING in the game to get my moneys worth.

Nope, don't have the cheat-book, and I haven't looked up cheats or anything. 
I'm trying to beat that game right now, who knows what I'll try an look up later if I get stuck, though.

I'm pretty adamant about not using a guide book... but for these early games I really can't object. Busta bought the guide but it's not like I'm not using it. lol Without it I'd probably have just wondered off somewhere and died, gotten frustrated, and tried to improve my long toss by hurling the controller down the dorm hallways.

Yeah when I play through it here this summer I'll definitely give it a go just so I know where I'm heading. I know in many games that are earlier releases, navigation can be a pain in the ass, as well as trying to locate important spells, items, and such.

How anyone in the world could find those invisible walls to those super-powerful items without a strategy guide is beyond me. However, I still think that there is a certain amount of enjoyment that you can get out of a game that you can't feel if you're using a strategy guide- most of the time, I only use them when I have no idea what to do next in a game or want a 100% completion rate.

I use startery guides with all my FFs (except 8, i couldn't find a guide for that and still cant >.<) and i dont think they ruin the enjoyment of the game. Except if you read ahead that is...

They don't ruin the game... but you do lose some of that sense of completion. Kinda like how when you own something that you earned the money to buy, instead of just being handed the money. It makes it "special".

I love strategy guides, mostly as a sort of collectible. For XII I found that at times I had to use it, simply because my Japanese wasn't good enough to understand what was going on all of the time. Asides from that I tend to reserve guides for completion and side-quests, I'll do my utmost to finish the main game without them.
