The only thing I did was put Thief's Gloves in my inventory so Zidane could learn Master Thief at the very beginning. Makes my compulsion to steal everything MUCH more manageable. Definitely did not want to spend hours restarting Beatrix to get all of her items.
I don't blame you.
Seeing *miss* 3 or 4 times in a row got old fast.
Remember what a pain getting the items from Beatrix was cause of the time limit.

so
I realize this might point down a path of darkness but
if you're willing to cheat to put Thief Gloves in your inventory so that you don't have to worry about missing stolen items
why wouldn't you just do the fight and then cheat the steal-able items into your inventory

Cause Thievery and he didn't want all the items just to make steal more consistent probably.
Just cause you want to reduce tedium doesn't mean you don't want to play the game.
Really, if someone said "I'll put the thief gloves in your inventory" I wouldn't turn that down. But I've been OK proceeding without cheats, and simply deciding not to steal the Mythril Sword from Beatrix. I'm now at the Hilgigars fight (the guy with the Fairy Flute), and I may try a few more times to steal that from him before I give up.
and I now remember this is why I stopped the playthrough I got the farthest in
but new plan: go in with a Summoner and cast Blink and Golem while I go Blizzaga sword on it
see how that works
I always preferred the knight strategy because I'm lazy.
Also the phone version of 5 isn't so bad. I've been playing it on and off and it's pretty alright?
Better than ff6 at least. Because it does feel like a general upgrade instead of the weird ff6 side grade/mauling.
The mobile/Steam version is just uuuugly. In every other way it's a completely fine port of FF5 (except the Steam version has garbage controls because it's a direct port of the mobile version)
Also if all else fails sure I'll use the Knight strategy but part of me just really doesn't wanna put any AP into Bards because c'mon.
Bard is a solid job in FFV (actually this is true for almost every job in that game; probably only the Geomancer is truly questionable). In the mid-game you can use their songs to confuse all enemies, which is very useful for random encounters when the difficulty spikes (which should be happening fairly soon in your game). Late-game you can get songs for them* that buff stats or even levels of all your characters, which is great for sending your various multi-attacking offense builds through the roof and other trickery.

The only FF I remember being dedicated to manually "stealing" in was FF8, insomuch as "Draw" was effectively "Steal" when it came to GFs. In FF12 I set up gambits to auto-steal so it was painless.

One reason is that you can only turn items into other items using cheats in this game. You can't assign an itemID to a blank slot, you can only reassign an existing itemID in a particular slot to another one. You COULD be constantly swapping an item you want with something mundane like a potion, equipping it, and change back to a potion, but that seems like a lot of work.
Congrats, Simben! I remember stumbling across that tunnel with the increasing gil awards waaay back in the day, and then freaking the fuck out when the turtle appeared. I don't think I ever dreamed of trying to beat it!
Also, as much as I don't like Eiko's archetype, she's really, really cute and that cooking scene was adorable and I am thankful I remembered to count Quina when figuring how many people to cook dinner for
And I got to the <Tinkle> scene, which I knew at some point was a thing but then forgot. It's very... 90s? (00s?) Just feels like a scene from a gaming era long past... As are a few other moments in this game.
Specifically because Lenna was my healer and now I have to drag a vanilla White Mage around with me and I'm already down a party member, this is killing my DPS
GHOSTS (Ghosts in the Linkshell) is the Penny Arcade Free Company (FC, or Guild) on Sargatanas server. I think it is on Exodus server group. It is an older server and one of the richer, with all that entails. It is pretty busy and depending on your location you may need to set an alarm clock to be able to create a character on the server due to the time restrictions they put in place. If you do create a character on the server, feel free to get in touch with me. I can provide some lowbie crafted gear for free (all the way up to level 50 or so) and if you want I can also provide a recruit a friend code which will get you (and me) some in game benefits if you decide to subscribe for at least a month.
I am not currently in the GHOSTS FC, but would be happy to help out a newbie with questions and running some dungeons if you want.
I got to the beginning of Disc 3 in FF9 -- it was a pretty sharp story jump, so I could tell that there was a disc change even if there wasn't an indicator.
One weird thing that is really getting to me now is that half the time, characters have their speech in quotation marks... and then the other half of the time, they do not. The copy editing in this is going to drive me nuts.
(But the story is really sweet so far)
I don't know why I assumed that Garnet was going to not have any feelings about Brahne, but that belief kinda built itself over the years. I'm very happy to be proven wrong in that, and the concern she had for her adoptive mom was touching.
And having Eiko be the "Gee I better tone down my nonsense with Garnet" for Zidane was pretty good use of her character
Kuja continues to make absolutely zero sense, but he's an FF villain, I guess he doesn't need any sense. But if it comes down to finesse he really isn't measuring up to anyone before him either

Kuja actually ends up having one of the more believable and near-sympathetic motivations in the series. He's probably my second-favorite FF villain (although maybe it's just the fact that I'm playing FF5 for the first time at 31 years old but Exdeath is kinda starting to climb up there just for the ham factor).

ExDeath is the great.
He was also my favorite Dissidia character, even if the AI wouldn't let you play him right.
@SimBen You can probably get a character made around 6am PST if Sargantanas is still getting locked.
Also you can get your character all made up anytime, and save the appearance settings for when you can actually make them.
Also also, just as a tip, you can't start as a rogue because it was a class added in later in the game. So if you want to be a rogue/ninja start as either an arcanist or warrior. Both those classes start in the same city as the rogue's guild, so you can change over at lvl 10 when you unlock class change. The rest of the classes have to get to lvl 15 to gain access to airships first.

Cue cheesy jingle.
yeah there is very little "game" in the vip game
it is like one of those weird arcade things you'd see at a bar
only with a dumb as hell story acted out by the cast of smash hit television show, vip
And a weapon ain't gonna cut it
Stealing is tedious as shit
EDIT: Aside from Rikku's "steal" being "kill all robots"

PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in North America on October 18, 2016. Woohoo!
First time took forever and I got it again the very next step!
Fuck!
Met that damn turtle 4 TIMES on that run
Ended with Bard Krile floating with 1 HP, singing Requiem
That fucking did it
I'm shaking

Your greatest legacy secured.
My greatest legacy is currently dressed as a Power Ranger and has been suckling for like 3 hours straight like damn boy give mom a break.
Have some schoolwork to finish and then I'm gonna dig into it
Not planning on going deep on it at the moment but I did download the free trial.
There were some forumers on Sargatanas or whatever, that's also where I play when my subscription is current which is not now
I am not currently in the GHOSTS FC, but would be happy to help out a newbie with questions and running some dungeons if you want.
Unfortunately, Sargatanas can be difficult to create a new character on (you pretty much have to do it early morning or late evening).
I've actually been planning on getting back on after finishing Dark Souls to level up my paladin.

Let's start over that 12 gig patch with the mouse jiggler on this time, guess I'm not starting tonight.

Seriously
If I were a pro wrestler that would be my entrance theme
Also seriously Xande gets all my sympathy. I'd be all about murdering everyone too at that point.
ExDeath is the great.
