when gilgamesh's sprite flips around when he goes "...Enkidu?"

it's such a simple thing but it just killed me when i first played it a couple years ago

Omega and Shinryu came as quite a shock. Good one, though.

All three posts so far I completely agree with. Why is FFV the best FF? Probably the best SNES game.

Doing a run where I (try to) only use Knight, White Mage, Black Mage, and Thief. I might not make it all the way, but I'll try to keep going with it as long as I can before I use other stuff.

hard to say because most of the game is so good, but I would say my absolute favorite part is the entire ending sequence

>Why is final fantasy 5 so good?
the combat/job system
the world and story of the game is the least interesting of the super famicom ff titles
bartz is the most no personality protagonist outside of the original three 8-bit ff games, think the only time he gets a scrap of interesting dialogue or story is if you make the missable/optional trip to his hometown
music might be the weakest of the three on the console too
but yea the combat is the best out of the sfc games
for some reason being honest about the flaws ffv has makes balding numales angry but w/e

>>9752627
Pretty accurately sums the game up. Good, but overrated.

>>9751836
Galuf is a real man in a series full of femboys. And they killed that nigga.

>>9752737
>And they killed that nigga.
Only real men die as he did.
>>9752627
>music might be the weakest of the three on the console too
Hard disagree. The sfc games got better music over time, so 4 is the weakest.

>>9752627
Based. FFV suffers from 'it was exclusive to japan for a while therefore it is the best' syndrome.

>>9752627
This. In retrospect the FF games I actually finished were the ultra job focused ones, so FF1, FF5, and FF9.

>>9752627
good post

>>9751836
Which girl do you think Bartz ended up with?
I don't know but I feel like Lenna was the lucky one. Many prefer Faris but for some reason I like Lenna better.
You could argue that he stays with the girl from his hometown, but I find it hard to believe that he chose someone with only one dialogue instead of choosing someone with whom he had the adventure of his life.
>>9751878
I agree. Is the best.

>>9755693
forget the picture

>>9755693
As much as I like Faris, it really did seem to me like Bartz would end up with Lenna in the end too.

Which version of FFV should I play? The original or the GBA port (with a music and maybe a color fix mod)?

>>9756428
People like to shit on the GBA one, but it has extra post game content and additional jobs. Applying the patches you mentioned negate just about any criticism people have with it other than the goofy dialog. I say GBA.

>>9756428
it still sounds like garbage with the music patch

Lovely characters

>>9755740
Happy end

>>9751836
I've seen a lot of people criticize the music in it but it's actually one of my favorite FF soundtracks.

>>9757037
The soundtrack is fucking incredible.

>>9752627
Yeah both the story and soundtrack was a step down from FFIV

>>9757587
>story was a step down from "oh no I am dead, jk I'm not" and "I, kain, am evil now. jk I'm not. PSYCHE I actually am. okay, now this time I'm not. Maybe."
No.

>>9752627
At the time FFV felt like in downgrade in every respect OTHER than the battle system.
>>9757612
As opposed to the story that has exclusively cardboard cutouts for characters, and Galuf. There's a reason there's only three story scenes in all of FFV that people talk about.

>>9757612
>what is inner conflict and turmoil
Are you a robot or an autist?

>>9757587
I prefer FFV's saturday morning cartoon plot to "FFII but worse".

>>9758712
>FF4 is FF2 but worse

Thank you

>>9757587
as someone who likes FFIV a whole lot, there's a lot of goofy shit in it and the drama can very easily not land with people. Like I personally love it when characters go "IT IS I, BROTHER!!!" but it is admittedly a total asspull in FFIV, same with wishy washy Kain. FFV is a simpler story but succeeds at everything it wishes to do.

Soundtrack i just can't disagree with more, they are both great scores but FFV has some of my favorite songs in the whole series. The music in the rift, the dungeon theme, the boss theme. All just godly.

I find it very funny how they obviously took the design of Lenna with the white mage job to create an important character in the spin-offs: Shirma.

>>9759171
Oh, Gilgamesh, how do you do it?

>>9760091
and then they took Shirma's and Lenna's designs to create the white mage from the Mario games.
it's as if they said: "we love Lenna, but we can't use her as a recurring character so we have to create characters that look like her"

>>9760101
They turned me into a fungo pop

>>9751836
My favorite FF as well. I love the gameplay, the story isn't intricate but that's fine and still fun. Best FF for newcomers I think.

After Galuf leaves game turns to shit. It's Buttz and his harem of cunts (Faris is cool though)

>>9760107
I've always loved this design.
>only used twice
>Square worked on a Mario sports game and didn't put Mallow and/or Geno in it
Unbelievable.

>the strongest physical attack is hidden in the dancer class
lol

>>9761667
Faris is manly enough to balance it all out

I don't know, but I really love how the characters look in their sprites. they reflect very well the personality of the characters and are endearing. Just seeing them gives me the idea that I'm going to play an adventure with a simple but beautiful story. On the other hand, the sprites of the characters from the other games give a feeling that I am going to play a super complicated story with characters with personality and designs that feel complicated and empty at the same time.
I don't know, but the FFV fanarts are one of the best things the game has. I feel like the game is soulfull just because of that.
