Well, technically the last two votes came after the cut-off point (which I forgot about, thanks for bumping the thread!), but V was already in the lead, so the outcome hasn't changed. We're finally going to play Final Fantasy V!
Good thing Final Fantasy IX didn't come out on Steam this week...
I know the game quite well up to and including the Fire Ship. I've played beyond that point but only once, last summer, so I won't be able to set the chapter targets and conversation topics. Any volunteers? You can take the whole game if you prefer.

^I know Bartz is the main character and he has a pet chocobo.
Yes! This is as far as my knowledge extends (and the "Butz" element). Anything else beyond is a lucky guess
So, it would be nice to take part this year. Playing a new game---a FF one, at that.

I don't remember a lot from FFV other than I enjoyed the job system and I loved the dialogue. Also I think I was
before I got distracted with trying to hunt down Blue Magic. I have no idea how far that was in the story but I'd really like to finish it this time. I've already made a list of where I can get Blue Magic so hopefully I wont get side-tracked I guess what I'm saying is I'm ready to start at any moment now
fighting against a flying fortress?A flying something anyway

Super a-sited. (And yeah, I'm not an expert either I'm afraid. I've only beaten it once, but I loved it.)

Replying to two of Octo's posts because she's asking the relevant questions.
Sure, you can start now. I've always said that the chapter schedules in community playthroughs are guidelines - everyone can play at their own pace, go ahead if they feel like it, take some time off and catch up, whatever really. I don't want people to feel pressured into doing anything.
Though with that said, I'll probably try to get the first chapter up today, since it's the start of a new week (and screw anyone who thinks a week starts on Sunday, they're just wrong).
I was thinking along the same lines. Since nobody has come forward as an expert, I'll get us started with the part of the game I know fairly well, and if nobody wants to take over, I'll just find some ready-made chapters from a walkthrough.
That's pretty much true for every Final Fantasy, so yeah, I think you're onto something.
What's in the loft? Spiders?

I have to figure out the specific way I'd like to play it.
The most likely is that I'll play the GBA version again. I liked it a lot and I can emulate on my PSP if need be which is nice.
Alternatively, I could try this Steam version just to see it and be more legal or whatever. But those graphics will bother me.
OR, I actually purchased the Japanese cartridge when I was in Tokyo last year. I intend to use it to help with my Japanese-studying...but I don't think I'm proficient enough to just jump into that AND try to keep up with the playthrough...

For anyone interested - I mentioned this in the other thread - there's a fan retranslation of the original FFV on the SNES (rom + SNES emulator). When I last played through the game that's the one I used. It's not perfect (it suffers slightly from losing a tiny bit of flavour to accuracy) but it is still a really good translation, and I didn't feel like I missed anything from the original PS translation. It's certainly not flat and boring like some other fan retranslations (the FFVI one for example).
