FFV Help

September 19, 2007, 4:55 PM

I'm restarting FFV, with the sole goal of completing the story, just so i can say i've completed it. What i'd like to know is, what Jobs and levels should i be at for each stage of the game? I have no clue, and i really don't want to level up crappy jobs :/

at the beginning it is best to have either a knight or a monk, a black and white mage and any other class you prefer (I usually have a blue mage)

those are good base classes to build up on early, I found the early parts quite easy early on if you keep elemental weaknesses in mind

At the very very start. Make ALL of your characters monks. Learn up to level 2 monk and you'll get the ability 'Barefist'. Very important and a huge money saver on weapons. Then you can equip this ability on mages and does as much damage as a monk. This makes battle go by quicker since it usually 1-shots enemies and don't need to waste MP. Save your MP when ever you need a heal or a boss.

Then have one of your characters as a white mage, black mage and thief. Monks (after you learn barefist) and knights are pretty much useless. If you choose to make a blue mage keep in mind they only learn blue magic by being hit by the enemy casting blue magic. (This can be rather annoying.) So later on if you continue to level up a Blue mage make sure you have one of your characters as a level 2 Trainer.

I'd say....have at least two of your characters as white mages. It's nice to have a back up white mage. Just make one of your characters a summon, time mage, black mage, thief and geomancer. Bards are useful occasionally. Sorcerers are very helpful classes later on. Very efficient against bosses.

If you choose to beat any of the hard bosses you need to have your characters learn the follow abilities:

For Omega

Have three-four characters master Ninja, Archer and level 6 Sorcerer.

For Shinryuu

I know you need 4 coral rings and 8 Hiryuu Spears.

You steal the spears from a cystral dragon. Need to master Ninja. Dragoons are used for this boss.

After for Omega II and Neo Shinryuu I'm not too sure yet but I know that is recommended to master Red mages. Not sure, people have said different ways to kill these bosses.
