I can't say I've been the biggest fan of Classic Final Fantasy. I enjoyed 6 but the others just didn't do much for me for one reason or another and for the longest time I didn't even give 5 a real chance, thinking it was going to be one of the more forgettable games in the series. After putting some time into the GBA version, BOOOOY was I wrong and I couldn't be happier to be wrong. It's probably the most overlooked game in the series now that I think about it. While the story is simple and straightforward, the cast is charming and above all, FF5 is possibly the most fun gameplay-wise thanks to its job system. It's more or less a WAY better FF3 and the amount of customization is incredible and stuff always feels like it's moving forward. A fantastic classic JRPG that I highly recommend anyone to check out, maybe even as your first game in the series if you're open to experimentation.

Since you're looking at FFVI next, you might also want to include some of the mods that fans have made. My favorite 3 are: 1) General Leo Lives mod(Shadow dies at Thasma instead of Leo and the story is changed to reflect this) 2) A Realm Reborn(Basically Hard Mode) 3) FFVI: T-Edition(This mod is legendary. It is to FF6 what Final Mix is to the Kingdom Hearts games, and that's STILL selling it far too short.) Here's some additions the mod makes: Shadow dual wields naturally meaning you no longer need to waste a relic slot for a Genji Glove. Cyan's SwordTech/Bushido charge speed has been sped WAY up making it much more viable. Locke's Steal is MUCH more effective. Strago's Lores have been rebalanced so not only he gets more lores, but the more useless ones were removed and replaced with better ones. Gau has been completely overhauled. He no longer needs to be in the Veldt to learn new Rages, but any where there is a monster encounter. In addition, his Leap command has been removed replaced with Attack. In order to learn new Rages, you simply need to win the monster encounter with Gau in your party. Alternate costumes for all your characters that are not only cosmetic, but also grant various stat bonuses too. A SHITLOAD of side stories as well as Pubs issuing optional side quests Johnny, you owe it to yourself to look at this mod during/after you're done with FFVI vanilla.

Final Fantasy V is my personal favorite of the SNES trilogy, maybe alongside IV. The characters and plot aren't the highlights, yeah, but the Job System and the music more than make up for it. On the subject of the GBA version, I tried to play it with a sound restoration patch once, but it caused an unbearable amount of slow down, so I just played it as is. Of the games ported to the GBA, I think this one got the best treatment. The palette is a little washed out, but nowhere near as much as VI, and I personally think the soundtrack survived the transition to the GBA mostly unscathed. In fact, I think some songs sound a little better on the GBA. Only some.

What thing I really enjoy about FF5, besides its very charming, and wholesome characters, would easily be how easy it is to break. FF5, due to the insane job and ability customization, can go from really hard to laughably easy or vice versa. The player has so much potential for subsquent play throughs and challenge runs Most JRPGs often do have really broken stuff in them that can make the game's challenge swiss cheese, but FF5 turns that up to 11, and I really like it for that

@bensell982 2 жыл бұрын

Check out Bravely Default. The job system is even crazier when broken if you can believe that. Plus the battle system by itself is completely is capable of being broken. These two combined make it possible to beat the final boss and the super bosses with mo damage. Bracely Second is even more insane.

@rpglover5955 2 жыл бұрын

@@bensell982 I'd argue Default is a bit more broken than Second, mainly because Hasten world and stillness makes most of the work in terms of breaking the game, barring jumping onto monster type enemies with a high enough speed stat (which isn't too hard to setup for any non-super bosses which requires a bit more work), where hasten world got heavily nerfed, as well as stillness in Second (albeit they overlooked how busted ghost status actually is with a decent magic user and free mp in a pinch).

Fun fact. Tetsuya Takahashi and his eventual wife, Kaori Tanaka (better known by her pen name, Soraya Saga) both worked on this game as part of the field graphic and map designer teams respectively. After also working on Final Fantasy VI, they also wrote a script for Final Fantasy VII that was considered too dark and said script was used as the basis for the game, Xenogears. And then of course, they left Square to found Monolith Soft and that's how we eventually got Xenogears and then the Nintendo acquisition with Xenoblade Chronicles and other Monolith Soft properties and also support development work on other in-house Nintendo projects like Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Splatoon, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I will just say that I am happy with how things turned out for Final Fantasy VII's production. Both for the Final Fantasy series and the new Xeno series. I loved both FFVII and Xenogears, so I'm glad both scripts were allowed to exist even though there were sadly problems with the latter's production that affected the final product. Anyway, loved this Johnny VS. video of Final Fantasy V. Can't wait to see your video for FFVI next. Excited for your videos for this year outside of the current Final Fantasy marathon as well. :)

Little note: Butz being afraid of heights does make a touching return when he, enveloped in rage, flies the airship around the world while screaming. He was so angry he overturned his fear of heights on a dime, which I can see people missing, and I thought that was a nice touch, even if it doesn’t have a BIGGER plot significance. But also thinking back on RPGs, this was back when non-important side traits to characters would be saved for manuals or omitted directly, so props to old Square for adding little personality quirks at no direct gain. Also, when I first won the game, only Krile was KOd, so she’s the one who stayed behind, and after all the pain she goes through with Galuf, I felt so bad but I thought it was fitting. I didn’t know it was my fault for mot reviving her, I thought it was forced plot. A month later I replayed the final fight and Lenna and Krile were KOd and realized the ending changed. It still blows my mind because Final Fantasy has yet to do something similar as far as I know.

Happy 30th Anniversary to Final Fantasy V! Fun Fact: Final Fantasy V, Megaman 5 and Dragon Quest V all released in the same year, back when Square, Capcom and Enix were pumping out sequels back to back. Here’s My Review of Final Fantasy V Definitely that odd underrated game that’s overshadowed by FF4 and FF6 but it’s my personal 3rd Favorite since it’s the peak of the Job System. I love it for it’s lighthearted moods and silly humor. However this game has it’s serious moments and it’s even the first to include optional Superbosses such as Omega and Shinryu if I remember correctly. This is also the first game where almost all of the cast is female excluding Bartz and Galuf. The thing I love this most is each character having a unique sprite for a specific job and as a lover of old school classic games I appreciate the hardwork Square did drawing each unique sprite for specific jobs. Do I think Square should’ve released it despite the “complicated job mechanics” Yes because lots of games back in the days were hard and the game clearly explains the jobs system when you receive the first jobs and in the first town.

Bartz' name being Butz in Japan isn't exactly accurate. Bartz' name in Japanese is バッツ, which can be read as "Battsu." Butz is an alternate translation that can come from that "Battsu" reading, but that reading is how you would say the name Bartz in Japanese.

Ooh, so this is the game in the series that introduced the job system used in Tactics Advanced (my first Final Fantasy) where you can carry over mastered skills to other classes. That's really neat!

I just realised that 2022 has a lot of an anniversaries for the Final Fantasy series the Series is 35 years old this year and FF5 turns 30 and FF7 turns 25 and Crisis Core turns 15 hell even Kingdom Hearts turns 20. Can't wait to see what Square Enix shows off this year.

This makes me want to play the pixel remaster version. I first played it using the anthology version on the PSP (I played I - IX on that thing) and yeah, wasn't too hot on it back then. Probably pick it up next time they're on sale.

Surprised you're going straight into Final Fantasy VI. I was thinking you would just wait for the Pixel Remaster since it's only a month away anyway.

I remember 5 quite well and the job system is what made the game easier or harder. I haven't played it in a while but I recall just about every boss encounter had a method of breaking it. For example the bird boss? Switch everyone to ninja and throw shurikens, dies in seconds.

If your playing one of the later versions (GBA, mobile & Steam versions) when you get the Cannoneer job get one of your characters to Cannoneer job level 2 it unlocks a sill that gives you more EXP after battles.

FF5 is one of my personal Favorites alongside 8,12 Zodiac Age version and Tactics War of the Lions 5 as I always saw it was a Saturday morning cartoon jrpg Also my favorte jobs are Freelancer, Summoner, Ninja, Blue Mage, Mime(basicly Freelancer but better designed for spell casters), and the GBA classes of Gladiator and Oracle

I love the way this game handles the Freelancer job by giving it the best stats and innate abilities of every job you've mastered, plus giving you an extra ability slot. It really allows you to become the culmination of everything you've mastered during your adventure. Compare this to the Bravely games, which still has the effect of "freelancers eventually become an ultimate final job" but it makes zero difference which jobs you master, and freelancers have their own skill set that takes up a slot whether you want it to or not. It's just not quite as satisfying.

2:25 I feel like I'm being called out. I just bought the pixel remasters this past weekend. Even got a Bluetooth adapter for my computer so I could connect my Switch NES controller and play the first three games with it when... I can probably do that if they released them on the Switch anyway.

with johnny's reaction to galuf traveling by meteorite/rita repulsa comparison would love to see him try out the disgaea series where laharl casually rides them while laughing alongside all the other craziness that'd make the ff cast do a double/spit take. really cool you talked about the ova as i actually liked it and thought alongside the voices being really good for both versions i thought it's characters(especially liked its main characters and the pirates.) & story was stronger still having it's parody tone like it's main character controlling the crystal's power with her butt(which isn't that outlandish when the villain of 5 is a void using tree.) while i feel the series wasn't really deep with plot and characters(outside cecil being on god's hate list/supplementary material.) until 6/the playstation games the expressions are great with the characters having a nice charm especially gilgamesh(really want to see him in 7 remake.:3). also yeah i remember flash and i still miss it/wish we we're simply given an option to use it.

Yaaay! FFV in the house! =) My first in the series, playing the fan-translated SNES version on an emulator. Like you said, maybe the playable characters are not the most explored in the series, but the game is just so much fun to play. It'll always have a special place in my heart. Looking forward to the rest of the series!
