FF5 was a weak entry storywise.

You were there for the class system. Why where you paying attention to the story?

That's not true... It was just stuck between the two best games in the entire series, so it gets overlooked quite often.

Well, the class system was a lot better than the story, but that doesn't mean I can't pay attention to the story at all. That said, FFV is what FFIII (NES) should have been.

@Princess_Luna: It also had the misfortune of not seeing an official localization until its PlayStation port, so people didn't really have the same amount of nostalgia for it as they did for II (IV) and III (VI). It also didn't help that its PS1 translation wasn't that good.

Still, I can't help but love its job system, and not taking itself too seriously.

DONT Y'ALL TALK SHIT ON 5 XD Lol, but the greatest one in my opinion was Final Fantasy IX, then VI, then IV, and so on~ I know my final fantasy, which is why I have the username of a Spanish moogle. If you wanna see some of my legit ff cosplay y'all, (and MY PONIES ART XD) Check out my Deviant Art~ http://mogneciothebrave.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=24#/d3gpdh8

The character had weak personalities, while Cara was just a replacement for Galuf.
They couldn't compete against Cecil, Kain, Golbez, and then Terra, Locke, Celes and company.

Still not a bad game, but weak anyways.

@Anon1, @Anonycat
If it was the American FFIII like it was intended, I'm certain your opinion would be different.

I honestly believe that Galuf's end is more powerful than that of Tellah or Aeris. Galuf died in a manly fashion to protect friends and family by charging into a battle he knew would kill him. Then, instead of having a quick burial at pond, the team throws the kitchen sink at him to keep him going. Because he's a bro.
About the plot, FF's III through V have the same bloody plot. The difference is, IV had the repentance of Cecil, and V was a complete deconstruction of the previous two. While the former two teams got there -just- in time, the forces of ExDeath always managed to to be one step ahead of the group.

Sadly, the nature of Final Fantasy is to divisive to have a nice community like Pony.

Oh, and calling Kain a strong character? He has three modes: Tool, Puppet, and Emo. Cloud has a wider range than that.

I think V is a better Final Fantasy game than IV and VI.

Haters gonna hate.

Apparently there is a sixth sense among V fans to know when their fav is being trashed.

Funny thing, V isn't my favorite, I just like it better than VI definitely, and IV in certain ways (I do believe IV has much better characters than V, especially when you take After Years into account). But my favorite is actually Tactics, and if we're going to limit it to just numbered ones, I like IX more than V (despite IX having massive problems of stupid minigames and random encounters taking forever to load, stupid camera spinning around for like 30 seconds before the fight starts).

I just feel Anon 146480 is absolutely correct, people don't give V a chance because nostalgia isn't as high for it as it is for IV and VI due to it not getting released until the PS1 era, and for admittedly having a lackluster story at the beginning which gets better as the game goes on...as opposed to VI, which had a great story at the beginning that steadily declined, and IV which had a decent story that stayed pretty constant in quality over the entire game (though like VI, most of the best parts were at the beginning; the story does admittedly get kinda dumb after Kain's second betrayal).

Um, anyway, PONIES.

V is my favourite in the series, because the class system is the best thing ever.

And IV, V and VI are the only ones I've actually played seriously.

Nobody played FF5 for Gilgamesh? His theme song rocked.

V was one of the first FFs that I beat. It bugged me a tiny bit how Cara pretty much eats Galuf's soul so you don't lose any of the job levels you worked so hard to get.
Cid having a son was pretty trippy.
One of my favorite parts was when the main character and Galuf watch Faris sleep and are like "Holy crap! That guy is disturbingly hot" but not in quite so many words. Good times.

I've played FFs I-V. IV Advance was my first, story that while cliche now, was unique in the past and still has memorable characters, fights and music. FFV: Better gameplay in my opinion, but a more cliche plot even for its time. But it was a self-parody, more or less. III, I only played a little bit. Not as good as V. The first: Not bad, but barebones (no duh). II was good, but kind of strange in most areas other than musically.

Galuf might have died, but he set an RPG landmark that no one has been able to match to this day.

Also, he out-Chuck-Norris'd Chuck Norris, long before Chuck Norris was even Chuck Norris.

I shed no tears for Galuf because that's not what he would have wanted. He wants you to be strong, stand tall and carry on. One of the few powerful scenes in a game that otherwise had a really blah story.

061: You see Gilgamesh like three times in the entire game. Talk about comically overhyped. Yes, his music is awesome, but they didn't use it--or him--anywhere near as much as they should have.
