why no strategy guide for this game?

[heime2003]

ive searched amazon.com and game shops but there is none.
even crappy zestiria has a strategy guide

sign of the times most likely.. strategy guides have been on the decline for years, they actually made a rather large sum of money back during the days of 6th gen consoles, but their sales had been on the decline because gamers found out you could find more indepth guides online for free written by other players..

these days, its mostly the larger high profile titles that still get them

Zestiria is sold seperately from the collector edition... Prima guide.

Berseria collector's edition does have a starter strategy guide book included... Guess selling seperately is not too profitable.

Well, strategy guides are something that dates from the times before everyone had a good and unlimited access to internet after all.

Lately, with sites like gamefaqs providing detailed guides, it's harder and harder to justify paying for a guide.
It is also important to note that Prima's quality leaves a lot to be desired on some of their guides, with not only typos that are not corrected later on (in an online guide), but also wrong informations here and there.

I am still proud to have bought guides for some older titles like phantom brave, because of the amount of details that are hard to keep track of, but for most games recently, between gamefaqs and normal google searches, you usually can get your information fairly easily too.

But it's still odd, if they do have a strategy guide already, why not sell an online version through steam for those interested?

Game is too easy for a strategy guide book. Get good

gamefaq just copied a strategy guide written in Japanese.
for the things that only developers know(for example the formulas) you still need a genuine guide book published by a company. You can't know everything on the internet unless people transcribe that book.

first, i just looked and gamefaqs has more than one guide (most of which appear to be hand written as far as I can tell, based off of the user notes you can see just from a quick skim of them)..

and formula can be acquired via data mining and experimentation, something that has been commonly done for internet guides going at least as far back as Might & magic 7 (released in 1999), those early class guides had the mana calculations for each class down pat (right down to how they were modified bt the meditation skill and certain enchantments)..

there really isn't much a publishing company can get hold of a user can't given the proper motivation, other than developer commentary..

sentences can look hand written of course, whether or not its translation. so I'm not really sure if the writers did everything on their own.
there are many guide sites in Japanese and i read almost all of them, but none are as detailed and comprehensive as the official guide book.

Start a combo + maintain LT (aka L2) and spam the character swap button
