I reall don't think FFV deserves the title of one of the three worst FF in the series.

LOL sorry Turky for quoting this outside the thread you posted it in


We all know Final fantasy V had script problems. And this meant that you had to look a little harder to find depth in the characters (although it is undoubtedly there) But FFV has other areas of the game that more than make up for these problems. And it's not as if the other FF's don't have problems as they clearly do.

So to try and make this a more positive thread, rather than ask why you think FFV is not a great game, i will ask, what made FFV a great game for you?

FFV is fun for it's job system and lighthearted mood.

Somehow, I had a feeling this was about my comment. I just want to clear up my feelings: Yes, it's in my the three loest favorites in my list of favorites, but it IS above the other two(FFX-2 and... Well, I might get rocks thrown at me if I say the other...*cough*FFVIII!*cough*). It's a decent game, I'll give it that, but I just like the rest of the series better.

Well, to me FFV is one of the three BEST games. Along with VIII and IX. These three were the meaning of Final Fantasy to me

BTW, check out my tribute fanart I did for FFV: My Tribute to FFV...

FFV, VIII, and X-2 are actually some of my favorites because their battle systems and customization system were REALLY deep. To me, I don't care much for storylines or character development in RPGs, but rather their battle and customization system. As such, those 3 games are really very good to me. In fact, my all time favorite FF is a tie between FFVIII and VI. Both had exactly what I want and love in an RPG.

Second favourite in the series ( first being FFVII )
I enjoyed the plot, Galuf dying seemed more tragic than Aeris dying IMO.
Great music, graphics not too shabby. All in all, great game.

I really like ffv, because of its job system, and plot and some of the music...
in fact it is tied with ffviii as my favorite with ffvi and ffviii tied as my first...

It's underrated by one person. Everyone else concludes that it is teh sex.
