Can't you name Butz anymore when he meets Lenna? I still think the character portraits look bad, and Butz's portrait looks so much different from his sprite, so without the text box mentioning the names, I have a hard time recognizing Butz from the portrait. The line "Whoa! You're pretty gutsy for an old-timer" is taken directly from FFV Anthology, IIRC.

See? And the first few minutes are full of it! I won't spoil too much and let you all enjoy it for yourselves. Also in the menu and in battle the translation seems nice. But it's mostly the dialog we wanted better, right? Well, the dialog is good, what can I say? Lenna clearly speaks as a princess, Bartz has this care-free attitude, Galuf is the daring old man and Faris is Faris. Oh, no worries, Faris doesn't have a Pirate accent, but she doesn't speak normally all the time, either. Like, she called Lenna 'lass' when introducing Syldra (yup, it's Syldra!). Nothing special, but it sounds a bit more piratey. I like it.

I can say this: If FF V Advance wasn't perfect yet, with this new english translation (correctly this time) it certainly has become so.

Score: 10/10! Way to go Square!

EDIT: On topic of ExDeath's name, the official name of ExDeath is from now on Exdeath, thank you for your attention.
Those are good news (Syldra and Exdeath). Hopefully Cara will be something better than Vile-Krile and that Sarisa won't be Salsa. By the way, how do you know it's Exdeath? Are you that far already? You were only in the Pirates' cave when you first sent that post of yours.
You can still name him. But standard name is Bartz. Cara is Krile, which is good. And Faris is Sarisa.

Well, I editted my post later, ya know. On the first day I was playing this, I already got to world 2. Now I'm just in Bal Castle's basement training jobs before going to sage Ghido.

And no, the character portatraits are not horrible. Well, in my opinion. I can't understand how people can't recognize the portraits and the sprites they represent. They fit so smoothly in the dialogue, you're gonna love em.

I never played anthology, but this translation is still great and better.
