Final Fantasy®X-2 – The Official Guide

PS2

Piggyback, Europe's leading official guide publishing company has signed an exclusive game guide agreement with Square Enix Europe Ltd, to accompany the prestigious and highly anticipated FINAL FANTASY®X-2 game for PlayStation® 2, across PAL territories.

The Official FINAL FANTASY®X-2 Guide has been in development at piggyback since August 2003. The 7-month development schedule has been necessary in order for piggyback to provide gamers with the most comprehensive 230-page official guide available. In addition, the book features a 6-page fold out reference cover and an A2 double-sided utility poster offering the reader a bonus information source whilst playing the FINAL FANTASY®X-2 game.

Launching simultaneously with the game, the Official FINAL FANTASY®X-2 Guide will be available in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish and will also be available in Australia.

Louie Beatty, MD of piggyback said, 'The FINAL FANTASY® franchise is one of the most significant console franchises on the market, and it is a pleasure to work with Square Enix Europe again. We hope to echo the quality and depth of the FINAL FANTASY®X-2 game with this new guide title.' Beatty continued, 'The FINAL FANTASY®X strategy guide was released in April 2002 and has enjoyed a tremendous attachment rate in excess of 60% in some specialist retail stores. That book continues to experience high volume sales today. Our aim with the sequel is to surpass gamers' expectations by publishing the most comprehensive and informative strategy guide for the FINAL FANTASY®X-2 game.'

Tom Yoshikai, Deputy Managing Director of Square Enix Europe Ltd. commented, 'There is great anticipation from the trade and public for the FINAL FANTASY®X-2 Game and Official Guide. We look forward to gamers getting the most out of the Game with the help of the Official Guide from piggyback. In addition piggyback has provided both quality and consistency since releasing the FINAL FANTASY®VIII guide in 1999. Our customers are now familiar with these high standards and can reliably expect a great piggyback guide for FINAL FANTASY®X-2.'

In association with Electronic Arts a variety of consumer marketing activities are in development for the release of the Official Guide, including the insertion of a 4-page, 4-colour flyer into each FINAL FANTASY®X-2 game.
