So it turns out that the Final Fantasy 5 and 6 on GBA for $12 off eBay deal did not work out as well as I'd hoped. I went to get started on Final Fantasy 5 about a week ago and it turns out it doesn't save. Just tell me the file is corrupt on the normal and quicksave. Very lame. Final Fantasy 6 appears to work without issue, so $12 for Final Fantasy 6 on GBA is still a pretty good deal.
I ended up finding another copy of Final Fantasy 5 on GBA on eBay for 23 bucks with shipping. Game came with the case and manual too. Game works fine and came fast. Item looked a lot less shady on eBay too.
Started playing 5 2 days ago. It does look very nice on the GBA. Translations are already much better and the battles feel smoother and much faster then on the emulated version and the Playstation 1 anthology version. Just finished the Water Crystal temple place, so I just got my second set of jobs including one of my favorites, Mystic Knight. Essentially a Knight job that can add elemental damage to their weapon. Pretty bitchin, awesome for bosses.
Still trying to get around to putting the end game statistics up for the other games I've beat. I've just been to distracted/lazy to actually get it done...
Other then getting started on Final Fantasy 5, all is quiet. I've seen several reviews and have heard mixed things about Final Fantasy 13 and unfortunately, I'm in no hurry to pick it up. Maybe I'll give it a try in a month or so...
