Played the PS1 version first but I couldn’t stand the long load times and the localization for Faris, being her terrible pirate accent, so I dropped it. This version has a far better translation and feels much smoother, so let’s move on to the gameplay.

I absolutely LOVE the job system! There are so many jobs to choose from and none of them feel overlooked or are less useful than the other. I’m definitely going to replay this game and use all the jobs I didn’t use my first playthrough.

This FF entry has the best gameplay of them all but not the best story. Exdeath is a boring villian who only fills an ”evil antagonist” trope without any interesting personalities. Gilgamesh is cool af though and there’s also the coolest moment in FF history IMO but I won’t spoil it.

To summerize, I’d say Final Fantasy V is the one most worth playing because of the job system. Superb!
