Well anthology came today and the only reason I'm not playing it is because I have homework but I thought I'd ask how does 5 stack up to the other Final Fantasies?

[Evastio]

It's good but it's not the best out of the first generation FFs.

The Job System is fully refined from FFIII, so Gameplay really isn't a concern.

Some people hate the storyline and characters, though the characters assuredly aren't the emotionless blocks that people accuse them of being (or they just like whining).

The villain, however, is very generic, but that shouldn't stop you from enjoying the game.

However, the PS1 port has a very wacky translation (like, FFIVe quality here), and the sound is definitely downgraded from the original. You may not notice this if you haven't played it on an emulator before, however.

Overall, a decent game. Not really my favorite, but it's still teh awesomes.

You'll love the job system and the ammount of customisation it brings without a doubt.

The characters all have an ok back story and all have there emotional moments. The story starts of extremely slow but picks up tremendously at some points but nearer the end the story thins again. It would be ALOT easier to apreciate the standards of story and characters if the script was a little better. Tbh the script is a pile of wank but if you can get past that then you'll enjoy this game very much

although it has the slow start, it still makes you want to play on. it has a good cast of characters and when the storyline begins to pick up it gets even better. its one of the best first generation FFs and is definetly a great FF that is worth getting. BTW. which anthology did you get? the european or the american?

[Goldenboko]

Considering I got it from The West coast of America, I think I got the American Version... is there a difference (Crosses fingers that there isn't another FFX like difference)

[aerithsloveslave]

Euro contains IV and V. US contains V and VI. V should be played because of its fun job system and light-hearted humor. Don't expect a thought provoking, deep storyline.

I bet you got a lot of homework done surfing EOFF
