Oh well I have the American version which is good because I wanted to play VI I bought cronicles so now I have IV(hard time! YAY! No more of this easier version!) and Chrono Trigger as well.

FFV is a great game. The battle system (Job/Ability system similar to FFIII and FFT) is one of the best in the series, if not the best, and it was the most addictive system for me. Maybe because of that, FFV has the record of my longest time playing on a row, 17 hours (from 12 PM to 5 AM). While the storyline may seem quite weak, I noticed that it makes a lot of sense and has a lot of depth on it when I played through the game for the second time. The character development could have been better, but the characters are still likable, and I liked the side characters too.

The music is a bit different from some other FF games, but it's very beautiful and enjoyable, IMHO. Nobuo Uematsu was being quite creative on this game. For example, the opening theme ("A presentation") works just perfectly with the opening sequence. The game is relatively short, you can finish it in 20-30 hours, but it's still a fun game. There's also three different worlds to explore, which is quite cool.

The PSX version has annoying load times, sound quality is weaker than in SNES and the name translations are weird (X-Death, Salsa etc). So far I prefer the fan translated SNES version, but I'll wait and see how FFV GBA will turn out until I make up my decision about my favorite version.

Awesome freakin game. Not as known as FFVI but in my opinion better. It's so simple. Not to much talking on one discussion. And everybody complains about the loading screens. When I play it on my PS1 it's the same crap as FFVIII timing. But try to level up when you think you dont have to. It helps a lot.

[boys from the dwarf]

its easy to be underlevelled on this game. if you play through the game without running away (unless you really have to like if your at level 4 against a harpy.) you should be fine. if you feel you are a bit underlevelled. take some time to level up. its easy enough to be underlevelled on FF5.

There is no way I'm gonna let myself be underlevel in a game like this because I played for a couple hours and I have to say the class system RULES! So far I've been distracted from the storyline because I've wanted to train.
