Does a strategy guide come with this game?

Sorry if this question has already been posted, but does anyone know if a strategy guide is going to be released when this game is released here in America? The reason I'm asking this is because, usually, Gamestop.com not only puts up the game with its release date, but also the strategy guide for it whenever I type in "Harvest Moon". However, the guide for this game has not shown up on their site yet, and the game is going to be released in less than two weeks.

Usually they do come out at the same time.
But honestly I don't think you'd need one. Since there isn't a real plot to it. & Cher's help site for GB would be a huge help.

But Im just saying.

Yep. Grand Bazaar is the easiest Harvest Moon ever. Buying a guide would be waste of money.

Yeah. I haven't needed a strategy guide since I randomly found Ushi.

i don't think you need one, but you can always get 20% off when you buy it with the game at gamestop. (that guy tryed (but didn't succeed) conning me into buying a pokemon SS guide)

I don't think buy Grand Bazaar is waste money. some time is useful to have strategy with you when you in Car or somewhere you don't have internet you can used if for the time marriage event, recipe etc....

Hmm true, true.
But I dont know if that is really worth the money sometimes.

^I do most of my handheld gaming on my breaks at work, where I don't have access to a computer, so strategy guides come in handy for such games (though I use the Internets for help on console games). It's either that, or scribble notes down in my li'l green notebook, which is so cluttered with random « Puppy Doodoo » I can never find what I'm looking for.

Of course, if GB is as easy as everyone says it is, there really is no point in buying the guide.

I think it would be a waste of money to buy strategy guides these days. I mean you have this site for example and there's so many other sites that offer walkthroughs when your stuck. But I don't think there's really a purpose to a guide for HM. I just like to play as I go, not play, then stop to read something in a guide, play, stop, ect.

i would personally like a printed guide. i like to easily look for heart events and cooking recipes and i love to look at the pics of everyone in the game. i dunno, its just nice to have imo.

I always write the info about heart events and important stuff on a paper. So I don't need to turn on the computer everytime I need something.

Its hard to say, there will probably be a guide coming out for this game. But I can't say for sure because the Gamestop guy I was talking to was probably bullshitting like no other. (I asked if there was a game guide coming out for this game and I kept on getting the run around on both the game as well as the game guide).

i don't think buying a guide would be necessary. you can always check ushi to find the information that you're looking for.

but, it's also nice to have it as part of your collection, if you want to.

Its hard to ask a simple question sometimes.
& Sometimes their explaining something you didnt even ask
