I thought that maybe people would like to have a translation of the blue magic in FFV, so here it is. It's not complete, but it will have to do until I have some more free time. Then again, the only things that I want to add are which monsters you can get each spell from, and more on what the effects of each spell are, as my Japanese is not all that great, and I didn't fully test all of them. Anyway, here is my list of the blue magic from FFVj (ver. 1).

[Note from Nora: I've never gotten this to work. Meteo is a full-party spell, and I either can't get it to point at me or it kills everyone in my party, and there's me, "sentou funou". Has anyone had any luck getting "efu efu"?]
Coming very soon!
That depends--do you want the Super Famicom version or the new Playstation version?
If you'd like to try the original Japanese-language cartridge (and don't forget you'll need an adaptor or some minor console surgery to be able to play it on a US machine), you may have to jump through some real hoops for it. I've heard you can purchase it from Game Land. I personally have bought a couple of copies (dirt cheap) in the past from used game stores in Japan. However, there's a rumor that used games are no longer allowed to be sold in Japan, and if that's true, it's tragic! Alternatively, there's always eBay.
The Playstation version--an English translation that is included on the Final Fantasy Anthology collection--should be readily available in any game store in the States (at least). It and every other Playstation game are compatible with Sony's Playstation 2.
