after four years, i finally have beaten ff5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i began on it a long time ago, and got about midway, and then my machine locked up. i lost my save game, and was too exhausted with the game to replay it all the way, so i moved on. i played many other final fantasies, and then a few days ago, i realized i ought to get onto it again. i downloaded the rom all over and began. so today, just a few minutes ago, i finally won!!!! it took me a whole twenty-four hours just to get to the boss (whom, i might add, i found pitifully easy) and beat him at lvl 40.

hurray for me!!!!
