FINAL FANTASY V, the relatively obscure classic known mostly for its
sophisticated and in-depth job system, will soon be re-released for American
fans to enjoy, with new challenges, new dungeons, and plenty of other exciting
additions designed to please both hardcore and first time players alike.
FINAL FANTASY V ADVANCE begins in the Wind Shrine, where the King of Tycoon has
come to investigate an irregularity in the winds. He?€?s just in time to see the
magical wind crystal shatter, which stops the wind everywhere in the world. The
king?€?s daughter, Princess Lenna, who followed him to the Wind Shrine, finds a
mysterious old man, Galuf, lying unconscious next to a meteor. Lenna, Galuf, the
explorer Bartz, and the pirate Faris are drawn together by fate to find out the
mystery behind not only Galuf?€?s meteor, but the elemental crystals and the evil
plot of the man known as Exdeath.
In this epic adventure, players must acquire shards of the shattered
elemental crystals as they progress through the game, allowing them to adopt new
jobs. These jobs will be familiar to FINAL FANTASY fans, including such old
favorites as knights, dragoons, black mages, and white mages. Defeating enemies
will earn points for your jobs, which in turn will allow a character to use a
job?€?s unique skills even while they?€?re using a different job entirely. For
example, a white mage can become a knight but keep some of their white mage
skills. This provides you with all sorts of interesting ways to achieve total
dominance over your foes.
