Shadow Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 The Let's Play that no one could have ever suspected would happen: Details: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Releases, Versions, Ports: Unfortunately, FFV never really had a good legitimate port. The SNES version was never released in the west. The port of FFV for the Ps1/PSN and Mobile/ios is gutter trash, and the only decent legitimate port was the GBA version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Story: The Wind Crystal Shatters. The winds fail. Ships stand still, unable to fill their sails. The world races to its end. Unless a handful of heros can protect the remaining crystals, the world will fall into ruin. Set off on a grand adventure in Final Fantasy V. FFV's story was the first to get the flow of story telling correctly. It is interesting to see and watch the story develop while play through it. At times It is very humorous and actually very comparative to FFVII in the humor aspect. It has fun with itself at times and serious when it needs to be. The game features four protagonists, each one more well developed than pretty much any other character in the Final Fantasy series. From their family, their fears, their pasts, and to their personality. Four friends who band and bond together. While FFV's story isn't ground-breaking in it's elements (Unless you use Quake spell ), it is certainly well written and refined. You'll never scratch your head with 500 questions like with moments with other Final Fantasy games. If there is one legitimate complaint that I always make with this game, it is the incredible epic amount of plot convenience during the first 1/3rd of the game. At times there can be so much convenience that it's laughable ... but you'll at least understand whats going on . The Aftermath: After this game, the main series began to change. A story with the four crystals was never done again in the main series and was never told as well again in any Square game ever. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gameplay, Combat and Ability system: The universal beloved thing among people who play this game, the job/ability system. From it being customizable from over 23 Unique jobs, to 99 abilities meaning hundreds of possible ability combinations and even more strategies, each play-though can be different from the last giving it a near infinite re-playability value. You wont get jobs that are slight spinoffs to others (With exception to the RedMage), you wont find the same one twice. You might think something like a Ninja and a Samurai would be similar, but they are 2 completely different jobs with completely different abilities and different equipment available to them. The job rabbit hole goes deeper and deeper with gaining skills and abilities you can use as a secondary skill with other jobs. For example, with the right learned abilities, you can create Unique combinations such as a Monk with Steal, a Samurai with Jump, a White mage with Black magic, or an Dragoon with MagicSwordTech. And most importantly you aren't limited to sticking to jobs You can switch jobs any time when not in a battle. Final Fantasy V's legacy still continues with games with similar job/ability systems such as the recently released (in the west) (ironically I saw a commercial of it last night while watching American Dad on Adult Swim), and a PS1 classic Final Fantasy Tactics. There have also been games who have tried and failed such as Final Fantasy X-2, Four Heros of Light, and The Final Fantasy 3 remake Some youtube review: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Notes:I will be using the SNES versionThere may be typos with this version/translation. In fact this translation is pretty awful as this is my 1st time experimenting with it.Since this version has 2 player capability (yes, that's right), some episodes will feature guests.Note that this game is 21 years old.

Orion Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Maybe this'll get a steam re-make like FF7 did? GBA was cool for it's tame. Had good games like Mega Man: Battle network 1, 2 and I believe 3... (not sure on BN 3) had both Legacy of Goku games. Super Mario World... and some other games. Ah the nostalgia.... Link to comment

Ah the nostalgia.... @Orion It actually did recently get a slight graphical remake for the ios. I hate it so badly though. The sprites are so lazy looking and overall terrible and are so lazily animated, it just takes me out of it (and makes me wanna puke) The environments and enemies got a really good upgrade though Link to comment
