Link to the Original: Final Fantasy V- p. 488 of the Dissidia Ultimania

CuriousACfan has translated another portion from the Dissidia Final Fantasy Ultimania. This time the, “Link to the Original: Final Fantasy V” section is up! Enjoy!

FFV stood out in the FF series with its cheerful atmosphere. Dissidia FF is loaded with bits of FFV’s pleasantness.

The reason the good luck charm is called “partner”

Bartz carries a chocobo feather as a good luck charm. This feather came from Boko the chocobo, who he traveled with in FFV. Therefore, it’s called his “partner” because it has a strong connection to Boko for Bartz.

When Bartz enters his EX Burst, the cry of a chocobo accompanies its footprints as feathers whirl by.

Return of the Spellblade ability

During Bartz’ EX Burst, “Rapidfire Dual-Wield Spellblades,” he first puts the power of magic into the swords. The effect seen in this part of the move is drawn from FFV’s “Spellblade” ability.

The deep relation between Bartz and wind

In FFV, passion was the “essence of the wind,” and in this work, a crystal is the heart of the journey for Bartz. Bartz’s use of the wind as an expression in this work is also drawn from the original.

(Note: The original line was “journeying” was the “heart of the wind,” but this line was changed to “passion” was the “essence of the wind” in the GBA release.)

Exdeath’s lines about how “All that is shall be returned to nothing.“

In Shade Impulse C1-5, Exdeath confronts the warriors of Cosmos’ side. The lines Exdeath says at this point are taken from the last battle of FFV, when Exdeath transforms into Neo Exdeath.

Gilgamesh’s sword isn’t the strongest sword?

The Gilgamesh summon occasionally reduces the Brave of the one who summoned him to 1. This is derived from the imitation of the Excalibur sword, Excalipoor, which couldn’t inflict more than 1 damage.

This line, from when the sword’s status as an imitation was determined, appears in Dissidia FF.

•The message seen when acquiring the Gilgamesh summon stone is a reference to what he says before the fight with him on the Big Bridge.

•The message seen when acquiring the Leviathan AUTO summon stone comes from Leviathan’s lines in Istory Falls. In addition, Bartz’s line “It talks!?” is what he said in regard to the turtle sage Ghido.

•Ability assistant Krile says “My heart is warm,” a reference to when she received Galuf’s powers.

•Most of Ability assistant Galuf’s lines, such as his introduction, come from his lines where he had amnesia in FFV.
