History Headscratchers / FinalFantasyV

** Of course not. They didn't buy outfits at a shop or anything. They have magical crystal shards, remember? Therefore, the most likely conclusion is that they hold the shards and undergo {{Magical Girl}}-style {{Transformation Sequence}}s. (Which we don't get to see, mostly because people don't want to see the ones involving ''Galuf''.)

*** It's been a while since I played it, but don't characters kind of fall out of their classes when knocked unconscious? That seems to confirm the magical transformation theory. There's precedent, too, such as in ''{{Final Fantasy X-2}}''.

* Amano's designs look nothing like the sprites. That in itself, I can understand; they are two different media with different resolutions. What really bugs me is that the portraits are directly based off the designs and as such have pretty much nothing to do with the sprites. Couldn't they have at least kept the colours consistent within one medium, even if they decide to have the more detailed drawings?

* The lack of informative tooltips in the game bugs me (at least in the Anthology version for the PS1). It doesn't give a good description spells, and most annoyingly, there's almost no information on weapons/armor/accessories and their secondary effects, making them feel like a GuideDangIt.
** You were playing the Anthology version? Well there's your problem. The Anthology version was a poorly-translated mess that isn't worth playing. You're ''far'' better off with [[{{Woolseyism}} the GBA port]].
*** That's sort of upsetting to hear. Oh well, I still enjoyed my playthrough of FF V in the Anthology version, even if I had absolutely no idea what my weapons/spells/items/etc. without trial and error.

** As I understood it, Exdeath worships the void, and therefor wants to end all existence, including himself.

** E-Death ripped of one his branches and stuck it in the ground?

* The lack of informative tooltips in the game bugs me (at least in the Anthology version for the PS1). It doesn't give a good description spells, and most annoyingly, there's almost no information on weapons/armor/accessories and their secondary effects, making them feel like a GuideDangIt.

* What the hell is with Neo Ex Death's final words? He wants to destroy all dimensions so he can destroy himself? Is he psuedo-immortal or something?
** As I understood it, Ex Death worships the void, and therefor wants to end all existence, including himself.
** The way I understood it, ExDeath just wanted the power of The Void, but it possessed him instead.
** Neo-Exdeath is more or less the personification of Mu, which makes him the ultimate nihilist. Therefore, his entire goal is to swallow the entire universe into Mu and negate it, "and then I, too, will disappear..."
** The way I see it, the immortal sorcerer Exodius (like that name better, so I use it) was sick of being alive. He wanted to die, but since he was immortal had to figure out a way of destroying everything. Thus, he fused with the Mu and tried to pull of existence in with him.
***The thing with that is that I don't think that X-Death is explained to be immortal or anything.

*** No, I think Exodus screwed up with the Void. [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Exudesu]] thought he could control the Void, but in the end, he couldn't, he lost control of all that power. The Void pulled X-Desu in, consumed him, and spat him back out as a personification of the Void's will, not his own. Play with fire, and you're going to get burned.
**** I agree with the above troper. He doesn't seem to be too happy about turning to Neo-Exdeath when the void starts to consume him, as he laments, " W H Y ? ? ?"
** The way I understand it, [=Ex Death=] is insane.

** Because they're [[DoctorWho Timelords]].

* How exactly did Bartz/Butz/[[{{Pokemon}} Butch]]/whatever manage to travel the world with his trusty chocobo for years when he can't even pass through a cave without dismounting and leaving his lifelong companion behind for a full third of the game? ''Twice?''
