[BustaMo]

This is my favorite Old School Final Fantasy game. I love it. The story may seem to drag in the middle of the game a bit, but I think once you start collecting the 12 legendary weapons, until the end, the story has you on edge almost the whole time.

Plus, great job system.

i dont think there much to dislike this game about.

the other FFs may have things that make them stand out more but i cant criticise FFV.

i would definetly reccomend it to any FF fan because it one i would really regret not playing and its quite high in my favourite FFs. i can never really pick a best FF because they all have points that make them better and worse than each other in different ways but im sure FFV is in my top 5 somewhere.

It deserves more credit than it gets definately. my 3rd, 4th, and 5th favorite ff's are pretty much tied between FF IV, V, and TActics.

I wouldn't call it the best of the 2D ones. I liked the characters, areas, music and story in FFVI more, but I do think V was better than I-IV. I place it around #4 (behind VII, IX, and XII).

so you're saying it's the 4th best FF, behind 7, 9 and 11... but you're also saying it's not as good as 6?

anyway, reply to thread:
in the last year i've been replaying all of the FFs in order (latest versions available). right now i'm up to FF5 and i'd say it is better than the previous four. FFIV has a better story, but FFV has much better gameplay and battle system, as well as many more and better looking enemies / summons. also the script is hilarious and makes a nice light hearted change, even if not as good as IV in terms of drama or excitement. FF6 is next, i've played it before and i do think it's probably better than FF5, but FF5 is easily the best of the first five for me.

Um... yeah. All things are possible through the spirit of Square Enix. Why, they even changed the meaning of the word "final!"

I agree.

The only thing I hated about this game was the stupid main villian. He made me angry because he was just so....stoopid!
On a lighter note, I heartily recommend this game to anyone who wants a simple(ish) storyline (unlike SOME games we know...*cough*FF7*cough*) and a good job system (which gives it a bit of replayability).
