After playing Final Fantasy XIV for āa coupleā hours now, I figured that it would be a good idea to see where everything started, and thanks to these lovely Pixel Remasters of the first few Final Fantasy games, it is easier than ever to do. Overview As all the other classic Final Fantasy games, FF V is a turned based jrpg with a huge open world and not too much guidance. Since itās a rpg from the āold daysā it expects you to talk to NPCās to find out where to go and to explore its world. Which has its charm but can certainly be challenging if you havenāt played a game like this before. (But in case you get lost, there are guides, so donāt let this discourage you from enjoying this great game.) Story Once again it falls to you and your party to save the world from evil. A story as old as time itself, but it is a good one. The four elemental crystals that keep the world in balance are in danger, and after the first one shatters and the king seems to be lost on his quest to defend it, it is clear that something horrible is on its way. So, we and our party head out to research and slowly discover a world ending threat, or is it? As in the previous games, the characters you meet are fantastic, they all got their reasonable goals and got their own interesting stories. And of course you meet your well beloved characters from the franchise again like Cid. Iām sadly not the best at describing a story without spoiling much, but after a slower start, it speed up and kept me hooked until the final battle and beyond. Gameplay After a brief intro and learning the very basics of the combat system, the world is yours to explore within certain limitations. Monsters donāt scale with your level (thankfully) so I can happen that you run into monsters which you arenāt ready for yet. Like in most classic Role-Playing-Games you level up through combat, find new gear, new key items through quests, and unlock new skills and meet new party members along the way. One of the benefits of this system is, that if you hit a little wall, you can always just go and grind monsters for an extra level or two and overcome the wall. You never really get stuck. I still recommend saving often and to do so on more than one save file, just to be sure. Like FFIV FFV brings back the energy bar for the combat system, which is a mix of turned based and real time combat (you can do actions once your characters bare is filled) This system works once again really well and made the fights much more enjoyable to me personally. Iām glad they stuck with this. FF V went back to the old job system, where you unlock more and more new jobs while the story continues and you can freely switch between them at any time on any character. When you buy new spells in shops, they get unlocked for each job permanently thankfully and doesnāt need to be learned by each character individually. Features -A huge open world -Lots and lots of enemy variety -Tons of different spells, gear and weapons -Lots of dungeons with different themes and creative challenges -Boss Battles of which most offer their unique challenges and twists -Modern, optional, comfort features, like quick saving at any point and more Graphic/Audio/Tech For the Tech, I had zero issues, no stutters no crashes, the game is perfectly optimized for modern PCās On the graphic side, if you enjoy pixel art, this game looks fantastic. The world is full of wonders, and the sprite art is great. Enemies, Combat backdrops, and dungeons in general offer so much variety in their optic. The spells especially look fantastic when used, and you wonāt grow bored of looking at them. In FFV they went for some more depths with the environments like overhanging cliffs, bridges or trees that cover the ground which gives the areas a fantastic pseudo 3D feeling, and it just looks gorgeous. The soundtrack of Final Fantasy III is still a feast for your ears, itās really amazing how much they managed to do with the tools they had back in the day. Final Thoughts If you like older jrpgs or are a fan of the Final Fantasy franchise and havenāt played this game yet, I can only recommend it. The world is huge and offers a lot of variety, the combat system is a lot of fun and itās all packed into a great story that keeps you hooked from start to finish. It maybe takes a while to get the hang on it, but it is absolutely worth doing so. And if you are a Final Fantasy XIV player like me, you will discover so many places, and meet npcs and enemies which also exist in FFXIV, it will put some smiles on your face and provide a lot of āahhhhā moments.

Every single time I play this game, I remember how great it is. Not only this is a huge evolution on Final Fantasy III's Job System, it's also an amazing evolution in plot and storytelling, plus cutscenes. If IV was a small step on the right direction, this is a leap: Things now feel better connected, lots of cutscenes and animations, and a more complex, detailed and well-developed plot... on a more comedic game! Because, yes, Final Fantasy V has a lighter tone *in general* compared to the previous game. Mind, a lot of serious things happen, it's just there's a lot of contrast on the plot itself. This is a really special game, and every Final Fantasy fan should play it.

Easily the wackiest and goofiest game in the series imo, one of the best job systems too, they really take what 3 established and just ran with it. The plot of this game is simple, you play as an Orphan boy whose best friend is an Ostrich who then teams up with a local Princess, her long lost sister who grew into a cross-dressing pirate, an old man who traveled on a meteorite from another world, and his teenage granddaughter to help a turtle destroy a giant evil tree who's hellbent on destroying the multiverse just because he feels like it. If that insanity or the job system piques your interest then you are absolutely in the right place.

The best part about this game is exploring and exploiting the Job System... I think the next Final Fantasy should be an open world game where you make your own character but go on adventures with the other characters of the game, even with the bad guys. What you do in the open world and who you do it with will shape the open world, even ruin it. Pretty cool idea, huh?

Final Fantasy V is one of my favorites of the franchise, so I was already a bit biased buying this new version. The story and characters are pretty meh , but the job system, battle system and world exploration is very fun. The way that you can unlock abilities and experiment with different battle setup is very addictive for me. This new version comes with quality of life that is quite important to note: [*]You can toggle ON/OFF the Random Battle Encounters [*]You can toggle the music from Rearrangement to Original (the new music is very good) [*]You can adjust the EXP , GIL and AP multiplier, making grinding slower or faster [*]Have the choice of 2 Fonts (Classic Style and what I like to call "Out of place Style") If you liked FF5 back in the day, just buy this version, you won't regret it. :) If you have never played it, well, as long as you like good music and like the old school battle system of this franchise, you should have a good time. However, if you want good story-telling and highly developed characters, this game may disappoint you.
