Board 8 > Is ff5 worth playing?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've rarely heard FFV be put in such high regard (at least compared to other ffs)

Well, it's mostly Board 8.

I totally would've watched 90210 back in the day if it were anything like VIII!

"Stay with me until the end. Please."
"Not until the end. Always."

It's mostly because FFV wasn't released in America originally, so it didn't get to have the same exposure to the young audience that gushes over FF"II" and "III"

FFV is a good game.

The PS1 classic of FFV is not.

FFV is good stuff. Probably around 5th or 6th in the series for me.

You can be heard, but that doesn't mean we have to listen!

Get some valid opinions and people will start listening!

"So cold. I am always by your side."
"There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!"

V being the worst FF is a perfectly valid opinion!

SuperNiceDog is pretty good.

You aren't doing it right Leon! You should be going HA HA HA HA HA HA in the FF spirit.

Oh come on the whole series is the most

augh
AUGH

That topic Soul made the other day where he said "I want a JRPG that doesn't do any of these things" and then he posted that "every anime opening ever" video was a better way of putting the terribleness of the series than I ever could

V being the worst FF is a perfectly valid opinion!

No, FFV being the worst SNES FF is a valid opinion. Go beyond that and you're dealing with FF2 (which isn't as terrible as people think, but come on) and the MMOs, plus whichever of XII and XIII you hate more.

I'm pretty sure the fact that you can't come up with something better than that says more about you than it does about the series...!

"Stay with me until the end. Please."
"Not until the end. Always."

I really like 2 and 13 personally and can see why someone would like them more than V.

12 too. It's a completely different game so it's easy to see someone preferring it.

--
SuperNiceDog is pretty good.

I haven't played any of them past PS1 yet, but I really like 5's system. It's extremely freeform, and so I'd rank it pretty clearly above the well-designed but restrictive system of IV. I wish I'd gone with the GBA version, though... The fan translation is a bit literal.

Oh there's plenty of reasons beyond that. The gameplay being a big one.

But that topic summed up a lot of my problems with more or less the entire genre, not just FF

FFV is awesome because its got that Final Fantasy feeling without the cliches people love to complain about.

Zontian posted...
Though I am worried about the whole job system being really complicated. I set Butts to Knight, Reina as White Mage, the old guy as Black Mage, and the pirate as Thief... Just because those seem most appropriate. I don't know what to do beyond that.

If it helps, ignore the four heroes for now and think of the jobs as the characters. All your powers come from the jobs. The characters are for customising later on.

Characters have four commands in battle (Attack/Job Ability/Free Slot/Item). Jobs level up with AP. Leveling up a job unlocks an ability related to that job. Choose any one of these abilities for the Free Slot. The Job Ability slot is fixed depending on what job you currently have.

Recommended early-game example: get one or two levels in White Mage, then switch that character to another job and put the earned command (White) in the Free Slot. Your non-mage can now heal!

And that's the very tip of the Job System iceberg. Not the bit you see above water, I mean, just the point at the very top.
