Only if I really can't find a way to continue

I use a walk through if only if I need to.

If I have one available, always.

~Status Report~

* Completed... Dragon's Head
* Completed... Soldiers of the Empire: Disciples (release pending)
* In Progress/Undecided... Of Love and Betrayal
* Planning/Assembly... Where it all Began

The first time through, no. The 2nd time through (whenever i get around to it) yeah, so i can find all the secret stuff and do any hard side quests etc.

--------------------

The clouds ran away, opened up the sky
And one by one I watched every constellation die
And there I was frozen, standing in my backyard
Face to face, eye to eye, staring at the last star
I should've known, walked all the way home
To find that she wasn't here, I'm still all alone

I did not use a walkthrough the first time I went through FFVI. I did, however, the second time so I could get all the treasure chests and things.

In general, I do use walkthroughs on other games. I generally use them for finding out battle strategies or some puzzles. For those of you who have played FFX, I use walkthroughs at the Cloister of Trials because I find them very annoying and do not have the patience to figure them out myself. I just want to get through it and advance the story. Pretty much, I do anything I can to advance the story because the story is what I care about the most. Anything that hinders the movement of the story is annoying to me.

I checked "No" as my official answer. I usually try to finish the game all the way though, figuring things out for myself (unless I'm hopelessly stuck as in 1993 with FF:MQ and the frozen falls thing). When I've completed the game, I usually will look at a walkthrough or something of that nature to pick up some stuff I may have missed. For my favorite game FFIV I played it and figured out everything long before I had the internet and access to walkthroughs and stuff. So, almost all of my knowledge of that is almost 100% Kame.

"Yes."

"Yes."

Only when I'm stuck, like most people ( - Zephir)

I love using guids after beating a game once and getting all the extra stuff like the Air Anchor in FF6 because if anybody got that without a guide they should seriously get a life.   JK!

I aint superstitious But a Black cat crossed my trail

And that aint all

UMmHMm
This is a mean old world to live in and I cant face it by myself

I used to when I was young but I never do anymore cause I don't see the point. Kinda takes all the fun and surprise out of games when you use walkthroughs

Nah, most of the time I don't. FF3 really doesn't need a walkthrough, if you ask me. I used some guides on my latest run (MasterZED's HP/MP level guide, a rage list, etc), but only because I want a more complete game.

Lou: There's a couple of guys fighting down at the aquarium, Chief.
Wiggum: Do they still sell those frozen bananas?
Lou: I think so.
Wiggum: Let's roll.

I never really used a walkthrough till recently. I used to use those dumb nintendo powers but they didnt help much  
ive used them some recently just for the coleseum and to see what im missing.  Or if im dumb and rush through Kefkas tower (did this the other night) and couldnt find the damn switch to move the blocks from the stairs.back tracked like 10 times with each party. lol

Only in a very rare, very desperate situation. I usually go to a Message Board or something.
The reason is because of the spoilers. The one that did it was the biggest event in FFVII (those who have played know what I am talking about). It wasn't as amazing as it would have been if I had not run across that. It still makes me angry.

No,no,no,no,never and not ever.Even if I'm hopelessly stuck,I'll just keep on trying with a mad glee and cursewords coming out on a twelve words per minute basis.I mean,I cheat.It's fun,but I,for some reason,detest walktroughs.Don't ask why.I just don't like them.

"Crapola!"-Cefca

Most definitely not the first time.  Only after I've throttled the game a couple times do I go to the walkthroughs.  But I'll be pleasantly suprised if someone got CT's Moon Armor without one.

My soul is bound to the Mistress of the Afterlife, and my fealty is to her always. So let's just hope she doesn't use it as one of her ten daily meals.

I marked "no" as my response, but I'll use them on my second time through a game just for extra stuff.  On extremely rare occasions I'll use them for side quests on my first time through.  For FF6 I used one to find out that my beloved ninja was gone for good and that I had found all of the dragons (and then I figured out I died without saving after beating one of them so I then revisited them) I never use walkthroughs for beating bosses or finding my way out of areas though.

--------------------

Get me off this Disciplinary Committee so I can play any FF except for FF8!!!

I didn't really use a walkthrough. I found my own way and tactics through the game in every challenge and battle. But I heard a lot of stuff from friends and game magazines before I got to play the game (and thought that I would never be able to ). Things like "that weapon is there" and "to save Shadow, do like this..." etc. So when I first played the game, I already knew a lot of things. But for the real gameplay, no.

--------------------

People say I'm a slow learner, but I type fast!

I don't use any walkthrough, but I get many hints from a friend of my who has already finished the game.

i only use them if i try to do it on my own for like 3 hours and i cant do it then i use one.

Only when I'm really stuck. Like when I have been stuck for a few days...

Shamefully, yes. Although usually I try to find one without spoilers, and I play the game by myself until I get stuck, then I can't let the walkthrough go.

This only happened because I got stuck in FF9 when i didn't pay enough attention to what people said, and I ended up taking an almost entirely magical team to a magical place and had to restart the game from the beginning  

And I do it to advance in the plot. Sometimes I have no patience for random battles.
