[Classic] Final Fantasy V Advance

This game is keeping me from FFXII, another awesome game this month. What is this, Square Enix? You're actually producing a lot of solid games for me to add to my collection.

Anyway, the game is clean, there is no loading times, of course, but there is some slight lag, but it's nothing really to whine about. The translation, of course, is incredible - and ripe with cultural references.

A scholar in Walse was telling me that Shiva was locked up in a dungeon somewhere there - "but don't take my word for it: take a look, it's in this book!" I was shocked that they threw a damned Reading Rainbow nod in there, but it's pretty hilarious.

I've met a few others, and I found that the dialogue is a lot more laid-back, and therefore, more real. The characters also have more character: Galuf is more "himself" (an old man) and Faris now talks like a pirate for real - in other words, she doesn't say "yarr" and whatnot, but there's a toughness to her speech that I always assumed she spoke with.

I must say that this was not a wasteful purchase.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It depends entirely on where you're at in the game...

How ya doing, buddy?

If you're talking about Mime, which was the original "final class", then don't sweat it; you have a lot farther to go. If you're talking about the new classes, then I have no idea, as I am actually farther behind than you are in Advance. However, I imagine that the new classes will be around the same time as you get Mime, which, as I said, is very much a late-game class.

And yes, they give the majority of classes early on; you basically have them all (minus Mime+Advance Jobs) at this point.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

They actually translated it as "Zeninage"? That's amazing; it's such a Japanese name. I was expecting Gil Toss.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I'm a (used to be a?) nerd, so back in high school I read a Japanese FAQ for Final Fantasy V, and basically already know it.

But, uh, doesn't it tell you in the ability menu what it does?

I was speaking idiomatically.
