I could've sworn I posted this last night, but oh well...
I found this while browsing the rh.net forums. It's an improvement hack for FF5 similar to what James did for DoaE 2.0 (which you should submit to romhacking.net as a patch, James - if you want I can help with that), rebalancing a bunch of stuff and adding several features.
Not complete yet, but I know there's at least one FF5 nut on this forum

Cool—I didn't know there were places to submit this stuff.
I'll give it a shot when I'm finished with the two of them.

Sounds like it could be a different enough playthrough to warrant playing again sometime.
If I had a decent emulator speedup with linux I'd probably give it a whirl but it'd take too long otherwise

Yea I never understood that either, it would drain your gold real quick. I remember I had to do that in the Moore Forest or whatever fighting those four elemental objects. At the end of the fight I had burned through all my money.
Berserker class was pretty lame with the ally just regular attacking, it'd be neat if they made something else with that. Sounds like they did something to the Mystic Knight class.

Any particular reason they give the party a samurai sword before the samurai class is open? Since nobody can use it (save for the bare class)...

So the Bare class can use it
Now that I have Windows I may have to look at this new 'improved' FF5 when I get a minute. Should be able to burn through quick on speedup.
To be honest though, after going through it again on FFV Advance, the jobs seem balanced enough. Sure, there are some crazy good classes (Summoner for most of the game, Ninja, ), but most seem to be relevant at one point or other in the game (Berserker is the only one I never use..). The new job classes (Cannoneer, Gladiator) sound overpowered but also seem to be the only classes that enable you to compete against Omega MKII and Neo Shinryu (the two super bosses, tougher than even their optional counterparts in regular FFV).
