>When do these get good?

Theoretically the first two or three hours when it's fresh and new?.........And blowing stuff up is still exciting?

I had a blast with FF V recently. Recommend it.

arcade games are balanced poorly on purpose after stage 2 or 3 in order to fuck the player or get him to practice for dozens of hours to progress. And because they lacked save states they couldn't offer much depth and content, so they had to be really short and full of gimmicks.

It’s notoriously the “””most underrated””” FF and most people sperg about it because muhhhh job system. Which is quite nice.

Now that I think about it, FFV is structured a lot like a fantasy haremshit manga/anime/LN

>Romantically retarded MC that is the chosen one
>Cool Mentor guy that dies so that MC can step up and become a real badass
>Standard Waifu Princess archetype girl
>Reverse Trap
>Loli

If FFV came out today, he'd be getting them Princess Tiddays and asses shove up his face at opportune times.

FWIW, I hate JRPGs nowadays, get totally bored with them, and yet I played FFV a few months ago on a whim and had a fucking blast.
+ it's fairly challenging if you don't spoil it with guides
+ the story is simple and gets the fuck out of the way, takes a backseat to the awesome gameplay
+ good music overall (people just cry about that one comedy track because they want the game to be DARK and MATURE)
Play SNES version with the GBA translation patched on (better script, and series-standard names for enemies and spells). Don't spoil it by reading too many guides, and feel free to experiment with the job system (there are no permanent penalties for changing jobs).

You can enjoy all of the things you listed without interacting with fans.

I know this because I like all 3.

Sword Dance - Attack an enemy with 4x (!!) the attack power

Jitterbug - Absorb HP

Mysterious Waltz - Absorb MP

Tempting Tango - inflicts charm

Sword dance is the real killer here. Combine it with the dancer gear (Lamia's Tiara, Red Slippers, Rainbow Dress) and a fully charged chicken knife, you're looking at 9999 damage for days. For DAYS, son.

V is my favorite of the SNES era, IV is my least favorite. They're all pretty good though. I just want FFV and VI with the original graphics and sound quality but updated translations. Is that too much to ask?
