Which is a shame as its got the best battle and job system in the franchise. They should reuse the job system in a good story.

The story is okay. The part with Lenna and the dragon I thought was nice. Gilgamesh is pretty good too.

It's a fine story. It's a step up from Final Fantasy 4. The soundtrack was a serious downgrade, though. The gameplay is the best part of it.

I don't really like FF4's boss theme actually. Dreadful battle is nice but that's not the same thing as the boss theme. Both FF4 and FF6 have a straight up vastly superior soundtrack.

FFT has the best and X-2 has an upgraded version of FFV's job system. Record Keeper has the best ATB battle system in the series but if you don't want to include it X-2's is still the best.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Lack of nostalgia. In terms of quality V is easily on par with the other two but because it wasn't available on the SNES there is a large contingency of people who lack the generic empathy for the songs in question.

FF4 and FF5 are about equal when it comes to soundtracks

but FF5 wins in pretty much every other aspect

For my personal tastes, FF5 has a small handful of far more memorable songs, even if FF 4's is higher-quality overall (can't comment further on 4 because I haven't played it in a long time and I genuinely can't remember any of its songs except for the Boss Battle theme).

In addition to 'Battle on the Big Bridge' and 'Blue Caverns / Dungeon,' 'Bartz's Theme' is one of my all-time favorite FF tracks:

I think this depends on whether or not you identify Golbez or Zeromus as the villain.

Yeah, but nobody cares about the alien that shows up for one fight at the very end, when the antagonist was Golbez for 95% of the game.

Zeromus wasn't really pulling any strings. That was Zemus. Zeromus is the giant space flea that comes out of Zemus corpse that was some ancient evil thing that amplified hateful feelings.

FF4 or FF5?

I'd say 4,4,5,4

FF5's biggest flaw storywise is that it's utterly forgettable for me. I can't tell you a single thing about its storybeats or dialogue after multiple playthroughs other than "Faris is a girl?!?".
Nothing got an emotional response from me. At least I remember FFXIII's storybeats and dialogue because they pissed me off at the time.

The story and writing are a small step up from FF4, too. FF4 takes itself weirdly seriously, but it's really incredibly cliche with little impact. FF5 Is the opposite and just takes itself very lightly with a few strong story moments (Galuf, Gilgamesh, Lenna). Adding in the job system, If much rather have a fun ride through FF5 than trudge through FF4's rotating cast of cliches.

I dunno. I think he's mostly right. I can't remember much about FF5's story and characters other than Galuf dies and Faris is secretly a woman. And Exdeath is an evil tree.

I think it's good because it's parodying the games before it. Everything in it is really goofy and kinda dumb. I enjoy it because it's rarely more than dumb. Exdeath is the best final fantasy villain too.
