But this game also has a stellar soundtrack, a rewarding challenge level that demands exploration, & great visuals. It's better than all the FF's that came afterward, including, yes, FF7. A must play, tho SNES version is the best. Play that one how you will.… Expand

This is one of those games that I could just play for hours and hours and never get sick of it. The story alone takes up a very large chunk of time, say nothing about hunting down the side-quest bosses. I love this game to pieces.… Expand

FFV's story is generic and overused, (it's basically the same as the ones from the previous games). Apart from this, the music's awesome, the combat mechanics are simple but effective and the job's system makes the game more replayable, as there are than 20 jobs to choose from.… Expand

It might not have the campy emotional melodrama of FF4 or the all-round aesthetic beauty of FF6, but what it lacks in presentation it makes up for with the best game-play of any mainline Final Fantasy game to this day. The job system isn't overly complicated, but it enables building very diverse characters with many classes for you to level up, which is genuinely fun. I have spent hours grinding, not bored but happy to see my characters gain and perfect new abilities and jobs, of which there are many more in this remake. The GBA's lackluster sound abilities surprisingly do very little to the beautiful score (unlike FF6 Advance's), which is regularly overshadowed by FF4's despite being, from an in-game perspective at least, much more effective. The SNES version might sound better and have a higher resolution, but this is arguably the better version, portable and with interesting bonus content, and certainly the best released in the west. Make sure you get this one and not the atrocious Steam/iOS/Android or PSX versions.… Expand

   Despite being possible the best version of the game by far, is still not very good in its core gameplay. Like FF3, FF5 makes a highly emphasisDespite being possible the best version of the game by far, is still not very good in its core gameplay. Like FF3, FF5 makes a highly emphasis on jobs. This jobs, despite giving you some of the most diverse customization on the franchise and removing one of the most annoying things in FF3 (having to win a lot of random combats when you change a job), it also breaks the game completely with the only skills that matters being zeninage, rapi fire, dualcast and spellblade. Also this also means.... GRINDING! Oh my god, i just hate grinding in RPGs... Is even worse than FF3 grinding. Some enemies overall gives like 1000 exp points while leveling up requires like 40000, so you would expend like half hour or more trying to level up a single character only to win like 100 hp or more, because yes, contrary to other games like FF1, 2 or 3, (especially the former), the stats and resistance for status effects doesnt increase, making leveling up useless, having to level up like 10 times to at least resist 2 more attacks from stronger enemies. And while equipment is very interesting for its exclusive perks and is very useful overall, is very rare and cost lots of gil. You have to also grind a lot for money. This is basically the grindiest game i have ever played, not even FF3 or 8, or other RPGs (except idle games of course) makes me remember that i have to grind so much. The difficult curve isnt also very good balanced, with bosses that spams broken attacks that requires an specific strategy that basically requires trial and error to know it, or also the constant encounter rate with powerful enemies. Is just so boring...
   FFV is one of my least favorite FF, and is a shame, because the gameplay in its highest point was probably the best in the franchise, the soundtrack was amazing, graphically is so ahead of its time and it has a lot of exploration! But isnt very well polished and is so grindy that it becomes so tedious to complete. The story wasnt also very good. Isnt the worst story in the franchise by any means, but it was much inferior to 2 and 4, and it doesnt encourage me to complete the game.
   This GBA port also has some FPS drops at times, especially in the final battle, but if the game was actually fun, then i wouldnt take into account that too much.… Expand
