[Classic] Final Fantasy V Advance

I've played the first hour of FFV Advance. Like the original, it's a lot of fun and the translation is the best I've seen so far. Finally, an FF where I look forward to talking to every townsperson.

Like FFIV Advance, the difficulty has been dumbed down (at least in the beginning) and the characters gain levels like crazy. All the glitches in FFIV Advance are non-existant.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

And jb1234, what do you mean by the difficulty being dumbed down? Which version is this compared to?

I'm comparing it to the original SNES release. Basically, I gained five levels in ten minutes, beat the first boss with utterly no problems and I haven't come close to being defeated in any of the battles I've had so far (just past the ship graveyard).

That's not the FFV I remember.

However, just to make sure that nostalgia isn't clouding my judgement, I'm going to stick in the Anthology version and see if it's any different.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Huh. Color me wrong. The PSX version of FFV (which should be identical to the SNES) version is quite easy in the beginning as well. Of course, remembering FFV, it gets much harder midway through. I was never able to beat it.

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

I can't confirm either of those two but I honestly wouldn't be surprised. The translation so far is filled with witty dialog and cultural references.

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