FFV has the worst story of the three SNES FFs. Unlike either IV or VI, V goes back to the older FFs and adheres to the "save the crystals to save the world" plot. It also has some serious pacing issues. You really only play the game for the job system, which was done better in Tactics (which, coincidentally, I'm replaying for the umpteenth time), and Gilgamesh.

Also, I don't think any FF did random encounters as poorly as II, and that's even taking into account that hallway in the Cavern of Earth from FFI, where every step leads to a random battle. Fuck FFII.
