    This may be shocking to some readers, but I can say with complete confidence that I like Final Fantasy V more than FF 6,7, and all of the other final fantasy games. Now in no way am I putting theses games down. I enjoyed IV and absolutely loved VI but the job system in 5 is amazing. The gameplay is perfect and the story is underrated. I would recommend any RPG fan to play this, and I hopeThis may be shocking to some readers, but I can say with complete confidence that I like Final Fantasy V more than FF 6,7, and all of the other final fantasy games.

    Final Fantasy V is a bit of a step back from FFIV in terms of plot and story arc, but it makes up for it in terms of gameplay. The jobs system is a great touch and creates a genuine bond with the characters as you try different skills and learn new abilities.

The jobs system is a great touch and creates a genuine bond with the characters as you try different skills and learn new abilities. You’ll quickly ignore the collect-the-crystals, save-the-universe stuff and focus on the funny jokes, inventive enemies and brightly-colored landscapes as you fight your way to the final showdown against Exdeath. Overall, it’s a 7/10 for me: It’s an entertaining adventure that’s obviously good value for money at 35-40 hours, but lacks the memorable story, characters and drama of other instalments in the franchise. Go for FFIV and FFVI first. in my view is… Expand

    It's always hard to review these classic FF titles on iOS because they're always essentially ports of ports of the originals. Just as was the case with the previously released iOS ports, Final Fantasy V is a no-brainer if you're an RPG fan and have not had the pleasure of playing it.

    Final Fantasy 5 is a game that enhances everything that’s come before in the series, and provides one of the most enthralling RPG experiences you’ll find.

    This is an overall well executed port of a great game, a game that would go on to inspire the famed job system in Final Fantasy Tactics. If you’re a fan of the original release or a fan of JRPGs in general, you will likely find something to enjoy in Final Fantasy V.
