Nintendo also dedicated an issue of Nintendo Power to a full strategy guide for Final Fantasy, including a surprising amount of new (heavily Westernized) art depicting various scenes in the game. I read that issue front to back many times before I ever had a chance to play the actual game. (In retrospect it gave some bad advice, because the authors were unaware that the game had numerous bugs that made equipment and spells work differently than intended. But the maps were very) useful!
