It's a shame FFV doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Because honestly, this is the most fun Final Fantasy I've played. The Job system in this game offers a large amount of customization that almost feels like

This was really fun! The customization is overall better here than it was in 3, the characters are all endearing, and the QOL boosts help with the more difficult moments when you just want to carry on. I'm glad to have

The characters are fun, the villain is a bit of a stick in the mud type but he's hateable enough. Not as "good" as a villain as Kefka. More similar to Golbez from IV. Job system is SO FRICKIN' FUN. I love this game

playing every FF in order. FF5 is the one to play if you only play one pixel remaster. it takes the class system and iterates on it more than 3 and the class system makes for some rigid party structure but not as rigid
