Butz Klauzer

Age: 20, Place of Birth: Lix
Height 176cm (5'9"), Weight 58 kg (128lb) 
He had been traveling around the world with his father, Dorgann,
for a long time. His mother had died when he was three years old and 
Dorgann had died three years ago due to illness.  Although he
is not a sociable person, his feeling of righteousness is
much stronger than others'.  Also, he likes to live freely rather than
to live in constrained urban life.  When he was left alone, he met a
chocobo who became separated from the group.  From then on, he
began his journey with that chocobo, named Boko.

Lenna Charlotte Tycoon

Age: 19, Place of Birth: Tycoon
Height 161cm (5'3"), Weight 45 kg (99lb)
She is the open-hearted princess of Tycoon.  Seven years ago, her
mother, the Queen of Tycoon, died of a strange illness.  In order to cure
her illness, a tongue of a Hiryuu (flying dragon) was needed, but if she had
killed a Hiryuu to get the tongue, the Hiryuu would have became extinct.  Lenna
suffered from this, and her father, King of Tycoon, brought
numerous doctors from around the world, but the Queen died.  Lenna's doing
something to save others by sacrificing herself comes from this experience.
After that event, Lenna willingly learned the martial arts and has
been the support of the heart of King Tycoon.

Galuf Doe

Age: 60, Place of Birth: Unknown
Height 168cm (5'6"), Weight 64 kg (141lb)
An old man who was found by the meteor.  Due to the shock of the crashing
meteor, he has lost his memory.  Although he is old, his sword techniques
are great and he loves peace more than anyone else.  Also, he is the
moodmaker of the party.

Faris Scherwiz

Age: 20, Place of Birth: Unknown
Height 172cm (5'7"), Weight 53 kg (117lb)
Faris lives with pirates, but he is more of a lone wolf type
person.  5 years ago, there was a time when pirates were having a hard
time against a whirlpool.  At that time, Faris jumped into the
whirlpool to check the origin of this matter.  Everyone thinked that
Faris had died, but after sometime later, Faris returned with sea dragon,
Syldra, which was causing the mysterious whirlpool.  After this incident,
Faris was acknowledged as a superior person, and hence became the youngest
head of the pirates.

Galuf Halm Baldesion (This is his true name after he recalled his memory)

Height 168 cm, Weight 64 kg, Birthplace: Bal, Age 60
The sword fighter who came to Butz's world in order to save the crystal.
He is king of Bal, but loses his memory with the shock caused by the
landing of his meteor.  Galuf Doe is a name he used when he didn't have
his memory.

Kururu Maia Baldesion

Height 154 cm
Weight 40 kg
Birthplace: Bal, Age 14
From the time of birth, she was able to talk to Mouguli (Moogles) and Hiryuu.
Her parents became lost shortly after birth of Kururu when they
went to search for Hiryuu to Grosiana Desert.  From then, Kururu
especially likes the Hiryuu which returned alone. Before she recieved
the Crystal's power, she was better off with magic.

Cid Previa

He has made numerous inventions that helped the world in many
ways. ((Many Cids do... --Chris)) His greatest invention was the fire driven engine which supports the economy of Karnac.

Mid Previa

Cid's grandchild.  From his youth, he was always
by the side of Cid, looking at his inventions.  His mother had left
due to lack of interest toward his father who was always in the laboratory.
His father, who was a scholar, had died three years ago due to the explosion
of one of his inventions.  He now lives with Cid.

Alexander Highwind Tycoon

Unlike the former king of Tycoon who tried to conquer the world,
he is more of peace lover.  Reflecting his characteristics, the government
of Tycoon is rather conservative.  There is a rumor that no one in Tycoon
has better sword skills than him.


Zezae Matias Surgate

Height 177 cm
Weight 69 kg
Birthplace: Surgate, Age 58
The king of the Surgate Castle.  He's very experienced at both
sword techniques and magics.  Due to his cool judgements,
he is also known as "Zezae of Ice".  He does not have any family,
but recieves much respect from his soldiers.

Dorgann Klauser

Height 170 cm
Weight 59 kg
Birthplace: Rugolu, Age 51 (at his death)
The youngest of the Four Braves, but he was recognized by the others
with his sword techniques.  He refused to seal Exdeath in an unknown land,
and he stayed in that land to look after the seal.  He is Butz's father
who died three years ago due to illness.

Kelger Vlondett

Height 174 cm
Weight 52 kg
Birthplace: Quelb, Age 63
Chief of the Quelb.  As a leader of Werewolves, he successfully
rules over the very tempered young werewolves.  Using his natural
talented agility, he does the "Lupine attack" which had no enemy
until Dorgann bested it.  (Kelger does this to Butz in the game)

Exdeath

He used to be a tree in Muah's Great Forest.  When all of the evilness
gathered into single tree, that tree became the Exdeath.  He tried to
control the power of "Mu" (Nothingness), but sealed by Four Braves of
Dawn 30 years ago.  FYI, Exdeath means EXceeding DEATH.

Gilgamesh

He is the chief of the Exdeath's bodyguards.  He seems to came from the
land where code of Samurai (Bushido) was heavily worshipped, but
details are unknown.  He is more interested in stealing the weapons
from the loser than killing the oponent.  He is not that good at magic.

Ghido

The Wise One who lived to the age of 700 years in the form of a turtle.
He is a fortune teller and he foreseed the shattering of the Crystals
which sealed Exdeath.  He is normally dull, but he has power to fight fairly against Exdeath.

A few crystals exist somewhere in the world of FFV.  The heroes and heroines can be granted great powers from these crystals.  These powers are "Jobs".  The following is an introduction to each job's characteristics and accompanying items.

"White Magic" is used primarily for recovery and defense.  The weak White Mage's ability to wear defensive equipment is also limited, but for retaliation and defense, one White Mage is necessary.

Blue magic can neither be bought from a store nor found in a treasure chest.  It is received from a monster's attack and memorized.  For example, from a Steel Bat's "BloodSuck", the blue magic "BloodSuck" may be memorized, and used in the next battle.  However, one cannot learn blue magic without the Blue Mage's Learning ability (see "Customizing Abilities").  Later, other blue magic spells will comsume equal amounts of MP, while some do not use MP [?].  Below is a list of some blue magic spells; there are still many other spells to be learned from various monsters (you can only learn a spell if it has been cast on you).

When a Chemist learns the ability !Chougou, he or she can mix items together. Mixing two items together produces a new third item.  You can make items that recover allies or damage enemies with poison, etc.  Chougou items are readily available in shops; you may need to try several experiments to find a combination that works.
** How to Mix **
$B"/(J In battle, select "Chougou" with the A button.
$B"0(J When your item list comes up, select an item you'd like to use.
$B"1(J Using the A button, select the second item.
$B"2(J Choose the friend you'd like to use it on (if the new item does damage to     an enemy instead, use the cursor to select the enemy on which you want to     use the mix).

The Complete Chougou List
How to use this list:
Search for the effect you want from the list below.
Then go to the chart to search for the combo that will make that effect.
NOTE: Order of Chougou doesn't matter.

Well, by now you have read this whole FAQ full of great information about Final Fantasy V and are probably wondering, "Just how am I supposed to get a copy of this great game, and how did the people who worked on this FAQ get it?"  It's actually very easy to get your hands on FFV.  Myself, I just mail-ordered it from a U.S. distributor.  The one I used was Game Land in California.  If you are interested in getting a copy of FFV, and I'm sure you are, get in touch with them at:

Game Land
23112 Hawthorne Blvd.
Torrance, CA 90505

(310) 791-3861
FAX (310) 791-3865

And if you are wondering just how much it cost me, let me say this: You will pay less for FFV than you will a new game in the U.S. because FFV is very old and Japanese game that are more than a year old get heavily discounted in Japan, and USED games are dirt cheap.  Yes, being imported, marked up, and shipped would add a lot on to the total cost of the game, but the whole thing wound up costing me $54.95 ($49.95 +$5 S+H). REALLY!  I found GameLand to be very courteous on the phone as well.  So getting a copy of FFV is really easy, and the benefits are worth it!
