Five was where the team sat down in the board room and said "you know what? Fuck these cookie cutter boo-hoo stories. If it's gonna be about magic and dragons and whatever, we might as well go balls out ridiculous with the plot. Ain't nobody gonna take this shit seriously"
I also like how Bartz entire move list is just pieces of everyone else repertoire, buffet-style
He's just all, "that looks cool, i'll have some of that, and that, and that, and that...."
The best part is that he combines them. He doesn't just copy attacks - he mixes them (every single Brave attack and one HP chain is a mix).
And not only are they mixed attacks, but they come with accessory bonuses built into the skills.
The Job system in FFX-2 was great. It had the ATB as well AND you could change jobs mid-battle. I just wish they had taken that battle system and repackaged it with a decent RPG.

I love, LOVE the flare upgrade that holy gets.
It's not enough that it's a decent ranged spell, but now that you got the ability to create an inescapable hp attack with some razzle-dazzle, it just simply cannot be topped.
My favorite Bartz attack is still his Link spin move.
So, the original FINAL FANTASY for NES hit the Wii Virtual Console today. I've only played the Dawn of Souls version. Might pick this up just for the heck of it.

Oh nice. I have (two copies of) the original cartridge, but I might have to buy this on principle.
oooh I need to get that. These days it takes a small ritual followed by a prayer to get the old NES working. Going through all the superstitious things that you do to get an old cartridge to actually read. You know what I mean. We all did them.
Okay, I have a problem. In FFVI Advance, I just CANNOT get the Ward Bangle from the banquet with Gestahl. I've found 24 soldiers, and answered all the questions correctly (according to at least 3 FAQs). Does it have something to do with fighting the Imperial Elites? One of the FAQs made it sound like you can fight each one at the table, but after I beat one group they all just talk, there's no more offer to fight.
All I can think is bad answers to the questions.
Also, does he even give you a ward bangle? I thought it was whatever that thing is that restores hp as you walk.
edit: are you taking a break? That gives you some points, too.
He's fighting the Elites, so yeah.
Tintinnabulum is what you're thinking of.
All the FAQs say that a perfect score will get you an item that reduces encounters by 25%.

My only problem with the new Kingdom Hearts game so far is how odd the transition to Disney seems in it. I just got to Agrabah, and they havn't bothered explaining multiverse, or other worlds or why I go to them other than to kill Heartless.
Other than that, the actual grid system and combat I love. Graphics are superb for the system too. Makes me remember how much I love Kingdom Hearts.

While I have several complaints against KH 358/2's story, I'll be damned if the game isn't fun as hell. They got everything concering the gameplay right considering the system it's on. Even the camera hasn't given me much trouble outside of
The Giant Purple Darkside in beast's castle in the narrow hallway, not a good place to put a giant enemy -_-
I'm surprised with quite how much I'm enjoying it. Playing my friends import copy didn't give me enough of a taste.

Protip: replace the 72-pin ($5 on ebay) and clean your games with rubbing alcohol. Does wonders. Most of my NES games start up with no issues.
Alternatively, disable the 10-NES lockout chip, as that is what most often causes the screen flashing.

I did this procedure with my NES. It's not a terribly good description of the task you will be doing but once I got it open I figured out what I was doing. Essentially, the little connectors have lost their sprung and you're re-springenning them so they push up firmly against the cartridge leads.

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to do the Holy->Flare combo. I go into chase mode the instant Holy hits.

Have you got Auto Chase turned on? If not, you just need to hit Square... although, it does seem to fail to work quite often if they're near the edge of Holy's range.

I remember playing the Origins version of FFI when it came out. I formed my party, left the town, and started walking around the overworld to try out a battle or two.
My very first battle, I ran into some rats. "Rats? This shall be easier than forcefully requisitioning candy from an infant!"
I decided it'd be easy enough to just use physical attacks. Weak enemies; it'd take no time at all.
My entire team of 4 fucking character missed ALL their attacks 6 turns in a row. The odds of this, so far as I can tell, are virtually zero.
Needless to say, I turned the game off, removed it from my system, and have never played FFI ever again.

And then they made Gilgamesh
And then they worked on the game afterwards.
Are you forgetting how old FFV is? At that point, melodrama wasn't really a big thing in JRPGs. Most of them were still pretty light-hearted affairs.
If anything, FFV was more in that vein after they made a serious game in FFIV.

I mean he was okay I guess

Tintabar was the B prize.
Charm Bangle is the A prize, and remember, you get all lesser rewards for it.
I did this procedure with my NES. It's not a terribly good description of the task you will be doing but once I got it open I figured out what I was doing. Essentially, the little connectors have lost their sprung and you're re-springenning them so they push up firmly against the cartridge leads.

They're doing a re-make? This was my car ride staple when I was a kid. Lets hope it comes!

It's not like FFV was written after FFVI and VII.
