It took three decades and a lot of false starts, but I finally made it all the way through FFV… and it was worth the wait. Not as narratively rich as FF4 or FF6, but the unfathomable mechanical depth offered by its job system more than makes up for this fact. Also: evil trees and wizard turtles are both hilarious and awesome. Great game.
this game gets really sold short just for not being as self serious as ff4 and not as grand as the series gets from 6 onward but it's a really spectacular game even outside of its stellar mechanics and practically outdoes ff4 in every way. definitely leans a bit more on comic relief than some people might like but there's some really great moments here and the cast is really strong, especially with galuf and bartz, and exdeath is undercut by fans for how interesting of an antagonist he is. neo exdeath is by far the coolest final boss design in this series to me other than safe sephiroth, and even if he's pretty stock standard on a surface level i think he deserves more credit as a villain. easily my favorite of the snes trilogy of final fantasy games and a game i can't recommend enough to fans of jrpgs
decent game but his name is "Bartz" the the zimpsons character, awkwaaard
