While the job system can lead to a lot of complexity (or just break everything like a piñata), FFV is an otherwise simple JRPG. The cast is likable all around, even if there's not that much to them. The villain is straight out of a Saturday morning cartoon and his dialogue is at least 20% evil laughing. That said, sometimes you just want a bad guy whose motivation is that he’s an asshole and by that standard, I’ve seen worse.
