What did you people think of this title? I personally think it is one of the best Final Fantasy's ever made. It reminds me a lot of Final Fantasy XI, with the job system and all. But it had SNES Adventure Mode to boot, so it was not the same. However, it was still a great game. You had to get crystals to get more classes. There was like 14 classes in all, and mastering some of them took actual time, and not a few battles. You would get benefits and spells, and if you mastered all jobs, then your ''Bare'' Job (The Job you start out as) gets all the benefits from everything you learned, then your Bare Job because massively unbalanced and powerful, and you are really strong otherwise, since you can use any magic you learned with that character or any skills, and all passives go towards it, such as Hp + 30%, Duel-Wield, Mp + 30%, and all other passive skills you can think of. This means that once you master every single job, then become a bare, it will probably exceed the other classes in a way you never thought possible, since it borrows the main skills from each one respectively, and then you can choose 3 abilities besides !Fight to fill in Skill Slots for Bare, and the choices are any skills that you learned from the classes besides the passive ones.


The Story was alright, it got interesting when you actually get to a new world and fight things that can kill you, because in the first world, I used a Black Mage with Throw, and killed everything. The Elemental Scrolls, mixed with a Black Mages high MAG Power, reduced about most things to dust. Guessing weaknesses, I used either Fire, Water, or Bolt ones to kill enemies. It was pretty cool. But the second world was really something else, with the monsters you fought, some that could kill your whole party. By the third world, you would say the game got pretty hard, because I know It did for me. I can't beat the last boss, given he's harder then Final Fantasy 4's and 6's last bosses. He has over 200,000 HP! That's a lot for a SNES Final Fantasy, I think. Considering Kefka has a measly 60,000 and doing 9999 to him more then twice per turn was easy if you were even decently good at Final Fantasy 6. Final Fantasy 4’s last boss had maybe a little more or a little less, and he was harder then Final Fantasy 6’s but not final Fantasy 5’s. In my opinion, Final Fantasy 5 has the hardest bosses and last boss period.

Discuss.

Great game, although I'm still only half way through it on my current play through. Christmas totally sidetracked me, and I still havn't recovered. DAMN YOU RE4, HL 2, Metroid Prime 2, Budokai 3, Everquest 2, WoW, and every other game that distracts me from FF goodness!

Final Fantasy 4 was as straight-forward as a fly to dog poop. I don't possibly see how you could have got lost. Wes, you have too many games on your hands. Kick a few and devote your time to 1 or 2 and there you go.

There's a city in the middle. A desert oasis. From there, you go north to the caves, to find a scorpion boss. I'm pretty sure. Go make a thread on this would you? I'm trying not to go offtopic here, and if you did I could go back and see what you are doing wrong and try to help you get back into gear.

*Spoilers*.













Well, after that, you go to his castle. His king has one of the crystals, and once you go to protect it, Kain decieves the part, beats Cecil up, and tkea it for Golbez. Golbez also abducts Rosa. From there, I think you go on a boat from Yang's Castle to Baron's Castle, but then Leviathan comes and washes everyone away. Your party is seperasted. Cecil then windes up in the mage town where he took the crystal in the beginning of the game. You get two magic users of high power and then you go up the mountain nearby, and on that mountian, Cecil ceases to be a Dark Knight, and ascends to become a Paladin. Well, that's all for today.

Just remember Yang never dies. You get the Pan later and you smack his skull to wake him up. The only real person that dies is Tellah. GG CASTING METEO AND KILLIN YOURSELF! Still I almost beat that game, I am on the moon at the moment. Damn behemoths keep killing me.

All my characters are level 90 or above, so I've abut overkilled Final Fantasy 4. I can just attack things regularly and kill them, which is fun I guess. It's a really fun game, but it can get a little hard or a little easy depending on what you're doing. On 5, I'm stuck on the area at the end, the Cleft of Dimension. The area is hard, and I really need to get more of the Sacred Weapons as well as master more jobs with my regular people so they don't die like they have been. Final Fantasy 5 is by far the hardest one for the SNES. I've overkilled Final Fantasy 6, too. Try having all party members at level 50 or so, and having one level 96. I took my level 51 Terra, Gave her an experience egg, and killed these dinosaurs in a forest on the top of the map. Vanish + Doom killed them. They gave 8800 experience, which doubles to 16,600 or so. So, after killing those for about 20 minutes, I was level 75 with high-powered stats. Terra had 58 Speed, 82 Magic, 76 Vigor, and 74 Stamina. She wears Marvel Shoes and the best gear in the game. She's like a walking god at this point. Yeah, overkill.

Since there's no where really to power-level with sufficent ability points in Final Fantasy 5, it's hard to levelup any one job in a particular place. There are some areas that have a good selection of monsters to kill each time you walk around them, but no ''really good'' areas to do it. Usually I just run around killing things in certain areas, and eventually that gives me sufficent points. Sincwe you are on the ship part, you are close to the super leveling technique I sort of came up with. If you are, I can help you with it once you reply and tell me exactly where you are.
