So Like I said.  I got to the point where all the Crystals from the original world are destroyed (not a spoiler).  And now I’m in the beginning of the “2nd world” (a common occurance in the earlier FF games).

The only problem is that I have no idea where the frag I’m going…  The spot I think I’m supposed to go attacks me with these shield dragons, who are practically impossible to beat (I havn’t yet beaten one)…  I spent all day trying to figure out if it was just a bad party combination (monk, ninja, white mage, time mage), if I was high enough level (so I leveled more), or if i just wasn’t going to the right place (map exploration)…

Unfortunately I couldn’t find the answer in a day’s worth of play… this is extremely frustrating.

I’ve resorted to getting in a few battles here and there while watching tv (with lesser monsters) as to hopefully break the barrier, but each time i approach this damn castle, its party wipe in like 6 seconds…  GAAAYYYYYY

OTHER NOTES ABOUT FF5: phoenix downs are wayyy more expensive than in previous games (1000 gil), and time magic is almost mandatory for bosses and other big enemies… (slow actually works most of the time!).
