1) Thank-you for posting this! 

2) The "unauthorized" nature of the guide is painfully obvious -- there are no maps or screenshots, just a few hand-drawn illustrations (that do not actually relate to the game). It is about the same quality as something on Game FAQs. (I am not criticizing that site, but that content is free and this title was sold at retail.)

3) Does anyone else who has played this game think that it looks like a straight-port from the Sega Genesis/Megadrive? It was one of the very first RPGs on the PlayStation (in English, at least), and it shows.

I never understood the appeal of "unauthorized" guides and why that was a selling point. They never looked as nice. Though to be fair, all the official ones printed in black and white don't look that great either.

The worst part about them is the covers.  When it comes to these guides, you CAN judge a book by the cover.  I understand that they legally can't use the game's logo or images, but that doesn't mean they had to get an intern to design the cover on a $5 budget.  The zero effort put into the covers is reflected throughout the books.
