What are your feelings?

Personally, I think I'll throw down the money for a guide mainly to help plan out my character a bit better. Other than that, I probably won't use it much.

I will have to buy it in order to get to know the game well. 'Cause i don't want to die.

Normally, I'm against buying video game guides..But in this case, I will.
Not because I'm unsure of how well I'll do, but simply because of all of the artwork & background info it'll supply that you can't google. (and if they have the artbooks for sale aswell, I'm getting that too, http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif)

I despise using guides unless I am backed into a corner and don't know what to do (referring to offline RPGs). But for PSO I didn't use a guide and I won't for PSU either. I feel that it corrupts the online experience for me. I don'w even read manuals when starting a game unless it is extremely complex because I like to figure everything out for myself and discover things. ^_^

If I do it'll only be for collection value. Every guide for an online RPG that was printed in my experience has been complete garbage. The only thing useful about the PSO guide when it came out was the maps and the mag info, everything else was either completely wrong or way off base.

I usually don't play with a guide anyway. I like finding things out for myself the first time through a game, or in PSU's case I'll enjoy finding everything out as I explore.

I'd like to buy an artbook solely for character designs this time around. But as for guide books; I've borrowed a friend's various PSO guides and find that they just cover the basics. PSO World is all I need.

I will buy a guide for the purpose of building my charcter right from jump..
Also to get a more thorough understanding of the game so I can progress faster...
And ofcourse, Im sure every detail/secrets wont be covered in guide, just the fundementals..
So I will take delight in discovery of everything else..

Why buy guide? PSOW can cover that. PSOW's guides were also better for PSO than other guides so, I'll stick to that.

If it comes with a sweet poster like the original PSO guide did, then yeah ^_^

I'll absolutely buy both a Guide and an Artbook if both are offered simply for the art.

Well, I suppose on which sort of guide. However, I'd pass on both. On the part for the offline story, it may be useful, but I find that they kill a lot of the fun for me so that's one pass. More importantly, basically all 'official' guides on ORPGs is relatively useless. Everyone's much better off using online resources and forums for clear info. I know of a little site that may do the trick. >_>

Anyways, I pass.

Personally, I'd rather make online guides for people. Buying guides is just sort of retarded considering that two or three days later, an online guide will pop up.
