Yeah it's just like looking up a food recipe anymore. A lot of times, the guide isn't even correct. Google has encouraged the internet to just pump out hot garbage.
I used gamefaqs for the latest Square HD2D games like Triangle Strategy. It's actually awesome because it really completes the nostalgia and the games are kinda perfectly created for the type of guides, like the "Golden route" in that game. It's so cool people still make these guides
