FFV on PS2

[Starboard Regulator FlareNUKE]

Final Fantasy Anthology (aka ff5) was one of the handful of games which Sony said were NOT compatible with the PS2 when it came out. So I'd suggest leaving it on the PS1, or you might mess up your machine.

Really, where? and why?

[Jowy]

Sony said it upon the system's launch. I've seen FFV do weirder things in my PS2 that nobody will ever believe me about.

Butz was nude!

Actually, crashing when getting on the boat at the beginning, going to a grey screen of nothing for ten seconds, appearing on Crescent Island about to catch the Black Chocobo, grabbing it, and recieving my Bard and Hunter jobs before beating the Wind Shrine.

Umm... no nudity!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that. And I couldn't agree more.

yeah, i have the slimline one, and ff5 works fine on it, the only downside is the designers neglected to INCLUDE A FAN so i can't play for hours an hours on end or i fry the system... which i can't afford to do, for reasons i will see about making a new thread on in... some other forum.

Hm... how 'bout an external fan?

[Rengori]

External fans suck.

I've never had any trouble with FFV or VI on ps2.

And I aways thought you got Bard and another job at cresent. Is it different for the SNES ver?

I have that problem when it went to the save screen, I just memorized the commands and went on with my business.

The save screen glitching is common. You can either memorize the commands to save, or just keep exiting and entering the save menu and it will eventually appear normally. It will in no way harm your PS2, and shouldn't affect your ability to save at all. If it actually were a harmful glitch, I'd be screwed given that I've spent more hours playing FFV on my PS2 than I ever did on the PSX. Don't worry about it.
