Absolute top tier proper JRPG right here, pure uncut SOUL with no filler and the absolute peak of FF gameplay nothing else even comes close.
I really like 5, but it's so weird hearing people praise it now for being there best. before you morons were born it was the second worst next to 2.
the job system and abikity/command mix and matching easily makes it best among it's class
I'd say fft is the best when it comes to job systems, but 5 is good too
>well people used to think it was bad!
and those people are moronic trannoids and also jerks
No-one ever thought V was THAT bad. It certainly has risen in appreciation here, but it always had supporters and everyone always liked the job system.
I remember being one of the 4 guys who were pro 5. It's wild to see so many people into it now. Maybe it's just contrarian drift and they will latch onto IV in a few years.
I think it has more to do with 5 much like 3 and 2 not being very prevalent in the west until more recently, while there was releases here 5 was bundled with another much more popular game, 2 and 3 were first released as a weird semi-remakes iirc. Now days you can play a dozen versions of all of them which are very different in terms of quality but everyone with a phone or computer made in the last 20 years can run an emulator and play the originals.
Personally I find the GBA ports of all except 1 to be the best
>and everyone always liked the job system.
that's why the Fiesta has been a thing since like 2014
Always glad to see 5 here. 4 hasn't aged very well, but 6 is still good, 5 is better than both though.
I absolutely don't remember anyone ever rating 5 that low, there's never, ever been a reason to rate it lower than 3, and the only reason to rate 1 higher is pure nostalgia.
If anything the old threads used to shit on 4 the most, because the story's so lame and cheesey that as the rest of the series told better and better stories, 4 just looked increasingly ridiculous. 5 is perfectly fine because it's a simple story, with nice emotional moments and it's held up by pure gameplay, but going from 6, 7, or X and then playing 4, it's almost painful.
This. It made me skip this game even though I had it on Games Boy Advance. I can't believe I played Phantasy Star 1 on that console but not this game.
And I still have it with me. Lmao
Nah, it was always cool. Only storygays hate it because the story is admittedly silly. Not every game has to be edgy, overly dramatic crap.
>before you morons were born it was the second worst next to 2.
this never happened

No need for shit flinging. IV - VI are all winners and essentially the core of what one would imagine when you think of Final Fantasy.
I do like 4 and 6 but neither of those scratch the itch like 3 and 5.
Nice. Now tell me the best way to play this game. Don’t leave me with those pixel remaster shiets
final fantasy anthology on psx. I'd recommend emulating it, but if you manage to get a physical US copy it comes with ff5, ff6, and their ost cd.
SFC/Pixel Remaster for original
GBA for extra content
GBA extra content is basically just mindless grind and numbers. It's just fun so you can use absurd endgame builds that are wasted in the main game.
I wouldn't recommend playing the super Famicom version mainly because it's in fricking Japanese.
Anon while I do have a soft spot in my heart for the PSX Anthologies version you need to be honest with the fact that the translation is fricking terrible. That said, I do love goofy pirate Faris way more than the other versions of her. Pic related: "Wyvern" mistranslated.
Pixel Remaster is the best way to play it.
FFV wasn't great, especially not compared to 4 or 6. I know you're playing into 4chin's, popular bad, but FFV really isn't that good. And if it's strictly gameplay we are talking about then even FF3 was better than 5 too.
There's literally nothing wrong with the pixel remaster moron.
FFVI PR isn't very faithful, but most of the music is really good
And is that Destiny? I'm laffing for real now. JonTron has been redeemed!
Context? I know Destiny is a cuck but I haven't seen this video
>And if it's strictly gameplay we are talking about then even FF3 was better than 5 too.
5 is so much better than 3, both in story and gameplay that it makes 3 obsolete.
The only reason to ever play 3 these days is if you're curious about the Crystal Tower from FF14. In every other respect, 5 is a straight upgrade in ways that most FF games just don't do. Like you can prefer 7 to 6, or prefer X to 7 or such, but that's all personal taste for the story and systems, you can't really lead directly from one to the other. 3 -> 5 is a straight, direct evolution and it leaves 3 feeling entirely pointless.
why is this dude getting cucked everytime hes posted
SNES JP version with translation patch
The PS1 version has worse audio and bit-crushed sound effects, also load times out the ass
Pixel Remaster nerfs the difficulty and it's Pixel Remaster so all the graphics are fricked
Just stay away from the Y-burns of the PS1 version and you'll do fine.
The towns and general setting in 5 is so boring it makes everything else forgettable.
It's unreal to me how hard people fellate games with job systems around here. You frickers even try to tell people X-2 is good. There are far better character customization systems in so many JRPGs even within FF that do essentially the same things, just without being able to play dress-up. Also, job system aside, everything else about FF5 ranges from average, like the music, to pure nonsense, like the story.
Job systems are fun when done correctly, as in FFV and FFX-2, because it enables a variety of approaches to the game.
Now, no one will ever say that FFV or FFX-2 are challenging, because any challenge there is to be had must come from your own choices since any party combo is viable.
Games that try and fail to replicate the formula like Cuckstal Project don't understand that the whole point was never to make the game a puzzle where there are objective right and wrong choices. The joy of these systems is not unlike a paint by number. You can pick any colors you want and still have a good time.
>Now, no one will ever say that FFV or FFX-2 are challenging
FFV is easier than 3 and 2.
It's harder than 1 and 4
And it's harder than 6 or anything afterwards.
There's a good handful of bosses and even random encounters in 5 that'll sit you on your ass unless you properly handle them, or figure out an overpowered strategy. Hell, one of the most common commentaries about it is that 5 gives you so much power through the Job System, but it expects you to use that power, so the bosses and enemies are much more difficult than most FF games.
>It's harder than 1 and 4
Great job outing yourself.
Cool story bro and that's a great opinion but I'll only listen to more of what you have to say if you keep posting more Krile.
1.) FFX-2 was good, insofar as the combat is concerned. It was addicting but simple, and aside from cooming to it repeatedly as a 14 year old boy the battle system and occasional song are the only things I remember fondly of the game.
2.) Better games with better job systems, yes. Better at the time? Definitely not. It was released three years before even DQ VI. This was pretty much the best of the best at the time, and it's still pretty good.
Finally, I liked V's story quite a bit. It wasn't as dramatic or grandiose as IV, but it has a charm to it with its lighter, more comedic plot. I'll give you the OST though, I honestly only remember the main theme and Gilgamesh's battle off the top of my head.
>FFX-2 was
BANG BANG BANG BANG (x1000 times)
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! YOU KNOW CAN DO THE SAME TO A DIFFERENT JOB!!!!!
I LOVE K POOOOOO SO MUCH!!!!! STEP ON MY BALLS YUNA
I don't even know what you're trying to say, can you shitpost more coherently please
BRO JUST PRESS THE R2 BUTTON !!!!! 10000000 TIMES !!!!! AND THEN NEVER US THAT TECHIQUE EVER AGAIN !!!!
WHAT CAN I DO FOR U WHAT CAN I DO FOR U
god i wanna hump ruikku in her little butthole
that was better. Can you now do it but while imitating Rikku squealing her post while she grinds her pussy against Yuna's face?
Ask them their opinion about Dragon Quest VI and they will sing you a different tune. Final Fantasy fans are just moronic.
>Hating on the music
IV > V > VI
IV is for those who care about story
V is for those who care about gameplay
VI is for those who care about soundtrack
>IV is for those who care about story
lmao not with all the death fake outs. it becomes such a joke.
>IV is for those who care about story
The story of 4 is horrible and has aged terribly.
>has aged terribly.
Maybe, but the stories of 5 and 6 were mediocre even for their times.
Final fantasy dimensions perfected ffv job system.
I like 4 5 and 6. Frick your tribal wars bullshit.
5 is such a completely generic JRPG it is basically a Dragon Quest game. And that's a good thing.
Same with Chrono Trigger; its simplicity is its charm
And Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
>spoiler
my homie and i'd still rather play it over any DQ
KINO AND SOUL
>the moment when Lenna's theme hits
good shit
>everyone is using rapid dual mystic knights
Yay
There has never been a Final Fantasy game as good as Dragon Quest IV.
5 is one of my favorites but when I came to play it back the story was incredibly generic with the most overdone cliche tropes ever:
>Amnesia
>two people that are vaguely familiar with each other have the same pendent
>Missing family relative lost due to an accident
>Betrayed by king , which in turn was mind controlled
>Exdeath being the most generic bad guy i've ever seen in final fantasy
>Exdeath unironically says "MuHAHAHA"
>Main character is actually the son of the previous crystal protector , who of which mysteriously gets sick and dies because.....uh...
>Old man dies
>Party turns into a harem now
>Exdeath wants to control the void because....uh....MUHAHAHA I AM GROOT
>Villain is unable to control the power and becomes eviler
I remember this plot sounding way cooler when I was a teen playing this game , this plot just sounded like they wanted to make a generic 90's shonen manga with all the complexity of a saturday morning cartoon
Is it really worse than IV with its numerous fake-out deaths? Or VI with its clusterfrick of a cast?
>People hate the plot of 4 now
Why? I know the death fake outs were getting old but the story isn't as generic as 5's , at least it wasn't borrowing from age old anime tropes and actually had an original story to tell
It's supposed to be campy.
>Party turns into a harem now
yes and?
You're a tasteless gay who values melodrama plot twists and hollow spectacle over a solid story. The evil villain doesn't need a complex or understandable motivation, you dumb redditor. I can also guarantee that you've barely watched or read any shounen series despite bringing them up as a comparison.
>I remember this plot sounding way cooler when I was a teen playing this game
Well it did it's job since the game is aimed at kids and early teens like most snes games.
Maybe an item/weapon that auto turns you into a zombie. Think it's curable with holy water.
>story was incredibly generic with the most overdone cliche tropes ever:
ironic considering you posted with a FF8 pic, a game that does amnesia plot twist even worse then 5
nobody is saying FFV isn't a total cliché storm, it's mostly played for its systems. I've also come to appreciate Exdeath as a villain BECAUSE he's just an unrepentant evil tree man who actually tries to stop the heroes directly more than once. It's refreshing after so many modern JRPG villains who are generally more well-characterized, but not near as dumb or fun as "I turned myself into a splinter, Bartz! I'm Splinter Exdeath!"
>Make the best class system ever
>Refuse to use it except once in a blue moon for every game afterwards
No, but seriously what did they mean by this? You can measure how good an FF game is by how much it takes from the Jobs system
Objectively the worst FF with FFIII. There's nothing to do except gay random encounters. Who the frick plays final fantasy for their dogshit braindead combat? OP and every FF5 fan is the sort of person that grinds to lvl 99 in every FF game because they're hyper autistic and love mindless repetition. Probably plays runescape and has maxed out all the skills.
Yes that is me, this is why DQ was always the better series. It's about the journey not the destination. Runescape is shit though.
IMPORTANT!!!
Can someone please tell me why the frick is Faris constantly into zombie status???
It has no reason and cannot be removed in any way, not with objects, nor by changing job and/or equip.
As if this wasn't bad enough, she suddenly started getting Death Sentence status too at the start of EVERY battle. Again, no apparent reason, nor any way to cure it.
What the frick??
That's what happens in the pirated version. Prease pay for our top of the line Pixel Remasters™
>bro just catch the monkeys!!! CATCH THE FRICKING MONKEYS!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah, Final Fantasy X-2 was such a masterpiece. I wonder why people don't praise this shit game more often.
Absolutely agreed.
hey i just pirated all the pixel remakes and i agree. the 5th was the best. 4 was ok, 6 dragged at the second half. 5 was just fun.
Why is this series so reluctant to use the job system when that's the only thing going for it
It's anti casual and can lead to impossible to win states depending on encounter design.
Maybe it's viable if they remove all the charm on unlocking, building up and gearing the jobs and allow easy job switching.
>Why is this series so reluctant to use the job system when that's the only thing going for it
I remember reading somewhere that 16's mix and match skill system was inspired by 5
I, V, VI and VII are the only good (main) games in the franchise. You can't prove me wrong.
>in b4 FFVIII contrarians seething
Why not IV? Surely there had to be a few moments you thought it was great? What was the version you played?
I dislike the party restrictions and lack of freedom in character progression mechanically speaking
the gba version lets you use everyone (except Tellah) for the finale and has an extra dungeon + super boss. The DS version was my favorite from the ones I played. I loved the cheesy voice acting and how most of the bosses kicked my shit in. I know the cutscene before zeromus by heart because of how often he beat the shit out of me
>Shit Fantasy V has shills on Ganker now
holy fricking KEK!
>now
They have always been here, newbie
I didn’t play the SNES games but I don’t listen to FFgays regarding the series after having played VII, VIII, IX and X.
>Durr X is much worse than VII-IX it’s a disgrace
>It mogged all of them
It just mean you love eating excrement because your taste for games is that shit. Cinematic corridor games like Uncharted, that is what you like. You like shit.
Most people regard X as one of the best
You're just making shit up to be angry about for no reason
For me it's V then IX then VII
IX>V>XI>VII>T for me.
The others are barely even worth mentioning.
for me it's
>Peak
V
VI
>Love
I
IX
>Pretty Good
VII
IV
the rest I either didn't play or didn't even finish
There isn't a single person on this planet that cares about Final Fantasy lore. They got a hundred chimps writing stories for them and they just pick whatever sticks.
Why can't they just make a game that looks like the FFV art
It's so ulful
>Ganker homosexual being contrarian by loving the second worst main final fantasy after 2
What a fricking surprise
I thought the bottom 3 FFs were 15, 13, and 8?
Literally no one thinks 5 is the 2nd worst or the worst.
At most people consider it in the middle, generally people say 4 and 6 are better and 1-3 are worse, however most people haven't even played 5 it's probably the 2nd least played main FF game I'll give you that.
It was well liked forever, but only by the 10% of people who actually played it.
Four job fiesta and re-releases on steam skyrocketed the popularity to the masses.
ff5's protagonist is too boring.
awww sweet, a retro FF schizo thread among all those XVI schizo threads, dis gun b gud
thread's already over, you were too late
no need to start shit between SNESchads. V is my favorite, closely followed by VI, but IV is pretty good too
Sorry tard but VI is the best
This and Tactics have the best Job systems in the whole fricking series.
