Make sure you use every piano and get every song along the way. There's only a couple of songs you can miss and they're pretty niche but you might as well get everything. If your last class is chemist get ready to farm for a long time in World 2.

Can you guys speak to any important "missables"? I don't know if there's any important sidequests to do before leaving world 1, for example.

Depends on your class. The only really big missable on World 1 that I know of is Romeo's Ballad (I think that's missable, anyway), and that's only relevant if you're a bard. Thief's glove is also sort of missable (it pops up 3 times, and all 3 are missable).

Well, basically, missables are entirely dependent on your class lineup.

I am pretty sure you can always get the Thief glove by going into the flame ship's interior, which you can still access in World 3.

Oh holy poo poo thank you, the wiki said I had to use !Control so I almost left World 2 without getting it. I can now play the rest of the game on autopilot. Thanks!

I think the Control and Confuse options are identical, just using !Control removes the RNG aspect(s) of it.

I'm doing my first run of this game ever and I have thief as my starting class. I can't believe I never played this game before, it's got pretty much everything I'd want out of a final fantasy game

It's okay if you have any questions.

In this case, but there are some enemies with skills that they won't use even when confused.

No, it's fine. Some people like the suspense, but if you don't, you can get them all now.

Technically cheating, though there's very few things you can actually do differently enough to matter, and nobody really cares. I would say to do it in order, just because it will keep you from using a lovely team combination as an excuse to not finish the game. At least if you get to the Earth crystal on your own you'll be far enough into the game to be invested in finishing.

the biggest thing to be gained from knowing in advance, imo, is knowing whether or not you should farm chemist ingredients before Galuf takes off for his home planet. Otherwise it's just mostly for planning purposes.

Which do you want to hear first...?
Looks like my final team is going to be Blue Mage, Berserker, Beastmaster, Ninja. I think I can live with this.

Other than using control to learn blue magic I don't know a whole lot about Beastmasters. Is there a good place to learn what monsters I should be capturing?

There are lists all over the place of which monsters do what when released. This list was the first one I found.

Is there a way to decently emulate the PS1 version? ePSXe and PCSXR apparently both suck and the PS3 won't play the black label Anthology version because of the stupid save glitch it's got going on. I re-bought this for the Fiesta this year (never finished it when I bought it back when) and it's pretty much the only iteration of FFV I haven't finished, so I'm feeling pretty defeated right now.

The collections are playable through pSX, but they all have some graphical errors going on (and you have to use the second memory card for V).

So, my first job is Black Mage, my Second is Red Mage. Is there any reason not to run 3 Red/1 Black with !Black for now? !Black carries over the magic stat, right?

Partially. It'll still be way higher than a Red Mage's, so yeah, if you want to work on getting !Red leveled (and make inroads towards !Dualcast), then sure.

Status report: about two hours in, Team Thief is past the Ship Graveyard, all three chars at level 9 / job level 3, Siren went down on the second try. So far it's easier than expected. Made it to the boss on top of the mountain but that one hits like a loving truck, so I'll probably have to go back to an earlier save and grind some.
