i prefer the gba version due to way less load times than the PSX version

[Elpizo]

The GBA version is the best. Best graphics, best translation, best playability and stuff. No loading times whatsoever and don't worry about the music, I found it better than the SNES version! (Especially the Decisive Battle is miles better in the GBA port compared to the SNES version). And the Bonus Boss at the end of the bonus dungeon actually has relevance to the story, a nice thing.

Yes, FF V Advance all the way.

the snes rom is sufficient for anyone who has never played final fantasy, let alone ff5.

I must admit that I keep meaning to play FFV (as I keep meaning to read, watch or play about a thousand other things) on the GBA but have still yet to get around to it. It does sound really decent and I was interested in it if only to try out the new job classes, regardless of how good or bad they are. I've only played the SNES and the PSX versions myself and of those two it's easily the SNES version to go for. However, I think I would prefer the GBA version, but can't say for certain.

the gba version changed certain memorable mis-fanslations in the english rom, but it's basically the same except better (except smaller)

Unless you don't like pirate jargon.

I'd say go with the GBA version for the extra content.

Originally Bespoken by Marshall banana

The GBA version of FFV is portable; it has the auto-dash feature; and it has a bestiary. I haven't played Anthology, so I can't describe it, but the original FFV doesn't have any of these conveniences.

Unfortunately, the Gameboy Advance version of the game removed its multiplayer functionality, so you would have to give that up if you were to play the above mentioned version for the above mentioned extra features...

I've tried all of them.

GBA > SNES fan translation > PSX.

'Nuff said.
