Gee, I wonder which is going to win out.
True, but FFV still has its strong points. It has an even more advanced version of FFIII's Job/Ability system, and the thoughtful battle system has been combined with a really enjoyable gameplay to provide the (IMHO) most addictive FF game there is. I don't think even FFVII and FF Tactics can reach the level of gameplay FFV has. FFV still loses to those games in terms of storyline (again, IMHO), but if you just want a really enjoyable battle system and some extremely fun gameplay, FFV is definitely a game one should play.
So far, FFV's holding my record of the longest non-stop gaming I've ever done, 17 hours (from 12 PM to 5 AM).
That's pretty much, considering I can only play video games for an hour or two at a time nowadays.
