Final Fantasy V (Day 122)

Happy New Year! and boy is it going to be a big year. Presidential elections, an extra day in February, and a lot more Final Fantasy to go through. I got a copy of Final Fantasy 12: Revenant Wings, but I will play it after Final Fantasy 12.

So Final Fantasy V, the logo is a dragon; not unusual for Final Fantasy. This is arguably the hardest Final Fantasy to complete 100% in. With over 30 classes to level up, and 8 sorts of magic, it would take 100 hours to get everything. I remember playing through it twice, both in Japanese, the snes versions. The first time in 60 hours, but I barely scratched the surface on getting things. The second time took about 100 hours and I still missed some items and spells. And so I will try once more, this time for the first time, in English.

The story is different from FF4 in that the hero is a loner, that adventures with a Chocobo. He doesn't have a kingdom to defend or friends to aid. He meets his friends along the way. But similar to the previous Final Fantasies, he is a descendant of a previous acknowledged warrior.

You get acquainted with the other three characters within 30 minutes of the game, and that's it, they're there for the rest of the game. For every Crystal you save, you get 5 or 6 new classes, and so it goes on.
f the game that I've never played.
