i’ve been replaying ff4 and 5 on gba
gba ff4 is something to approach w/ some caution! at least, i’m pretty sure this is not just me encountering weird issues w/ emulation affecting the game’s speed and responsiveness–the internet seems to affirm that the european release fixes most of the bugs introduced in the na release. e.g.: glitchy free turns, something about yang’s hp cap, and most glaringly the severe input lag. it’s horrible. i got quite a ways into the game and looked it up, found out about the uk version, and started over. it’s still not perfect in battle menus, but it’s much better overall.
gba ff5 on the other hand is perfection. i don’t even bother to patch the audio.
anyhow. i love these games a lot. gonna continue w/ an old ff6 save after these, too.
