Okay, I've actually bought and started playing Final Fantasy 5 on Android. (If I knew how to rip the graphics, I would. Only way I can think of is to take a shitload of screenshots in rapid succession, and then crop the unnecessary bits).

The character sprites are still meh in-game compared to FF1 2 and 4, PSP. But the upgraded tiles look nice. The monsters are half and half. Some look better, some look flatter. Not feeling the Amano artwork of the characters; they look super blah. Look at King Tycoon. LOOK AT HIM!

If you get past all of that though, the engine is a lot smoother, and the battles run smoother as well. The ATB meter filled kinda choppy on the GBA, but that's no longer an issue here. I personally play with the Battle Speed on 1, so the ATB can fill at its fastest, but on the default it still filled smoothly. I'm not sure if its just the party's speed at the moment, but all the monsters go before the party for some reason. Has it always been this way? You can now walk diagonally, but I can't seem to make the party run faster. So...WHY!?

Soon will get to the Wind Crystal, so I can start grinding these Jobs. Yes, I'm that one guy that will max out all the jobs I get right away xD. It takes a million years when the net AP gain is 1.
