I love FFV, but it's not exactly my favourite.

The gameplay is about as good as in the other games but I might be biased considering I like the job system. The script is good in the GBA version and I love how it parodies the series. The storytelling is great too, although most characters are pretty... lacking. ExDeath for example. Other than the tree gimmick, which is more silly than cool, he's pretty generic. On the other hand, some of them are likeable. Bartz is fun, Galuf is cool and Gilgamesh is the personification of awesome.

Oh, and the music is great. <3
