What Gamespot Users have to say about Final Fantasy V

    Great gameplay, lacking story.

    Well to begin, I played FFIII first. With that being said, I have discovered that this game is only a beefed up version of FFIII (I mean it uses the same core story and job system), but is beefed up in a VERY good way. R... Read Full Review

    If you are a fan of RPGs in any way, and own a GBA or DS, get this game.

    Final Fantasy as many of you may know it has numerous installments, most of which do not have any connections story-wise. Although they may have separate stories, it does not mean that they are weak. Final Fantasy V may ... Read Full Review

    The GBA might be on it's way out, but you'd be a fool to pass up one of the best role-playing games for the system.

    Final Fantasy V isn't the first Final Fantasy to use the job system; however it's definitely the best. The job system was first introduced in Final Fantasy III, was then used in Final Fantasy V, and finally incorporated ... Read Full Review

    A gem lost in its own time, Final Fantasy V is a stellar RPG and a must-play for any Final Fantasy aficionado.

    In the three years between the release of Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy VI (known as Final Fantasy II and III in the US), Squaresoft made the decision not to release Final Fantasy V to North America. They felt that... Read Full Review

    This game is great!

    Gameplay: Simple, easy, and entertaining. If you ever played FFXI, you will recognize a few of the jobs that are in this game (The four colored mages, sam, monk, just to name a few). It may take a while to level up all t... Read Full Review

    The best FFV yet? Oh yeah.

    Having played through the FF Anthology version of FFV, I can say for a fact that FFVA is better in all the ways it counts. The translation is much improved. Loading times have been reduced to null, making combat more fun... Read Full Review

    Final fantasys rock... and the remakes, too.

    This was the first final fantasy i had played after playing final fantasy 3 for the ds, and i was scared to death. (If you don't know why, it's because ff 3 was not very good at all.) The gameplay is actually fun, and ev... Read Full Review

    Without a doubt, this is my favorite Final Fantasy game.

    Like many people, I did not get a chance to play Final Fantasy V when it was released because I do not live in Japan. Even when the game was released for the first time in North America for the Playstation, I missed out ... Read Full Review
