Not getting enough credit

February 26, 2007, 1:35 PM

I always hear about FF6 being the best 2-d final fantasy game overall. Does anyone else think that FF5 should get more praise than it has?

Well FFV is my favorite old FF game as far as gameplay goes. I do hold FFVI in higher regards to it though because well... its obviously a bigger improvement over V in many ways. But FFV wasn't bad or anything, its a really good game... FFVI just happened to end up being better <_<

i think that ff5 should recieve more praise than what this game was currently credited for before.

I actually prefer both IV and V to VI, but that's just me...
None the less, the extent to which both IV and V are ignored ( or at least not as talked about ) seems quite unfair to me, it's almost as if VI is the second fanboys favourite, eclipsing everythin prior to it, much like VII seems to do to the modern ones.

I absolutely love Final Fantasy V and all it had to offer. Sure it deserves mroe credit. However, I think the fact of the matter is, far less people have played FFV than FFVI since FFV was not released on the SNES outside of Japan. Basically, most had to wait until FFV hit the Anthology Compilation or the Advance version as of late.

I like V, but like Bustamo said, not many people have played it. It had the disadvantage of not being released on the SNES. And since newer and flashier games are coming out, this one has just been ignored by most of the fanbase.

It's a shame though. I think Faris is one of the most unique FF characters.

i think that yes V should get more credit but no it shouldnt be more popular than VI. Most of the old school games prior To VI have been overlooked which is a shame BUT VI was the one which had the first complex storyline and memorable Villain which to me V did not have.

I like V, and I hear they were planning to release it but it got cancelled in post production for work on FFVI.... I couldn't stand VI when I first played it, too many characters and it seemed like they were trying to develop them all at different times, it got a bit confusing.... FFV as far as I've played was more innovative simply in the fact of the job system that was "introduced" I love the experimentation factor of it.

Final Fantasy V is better than Final Fantasy VI in every single aspect except music... the music for FFVI is just amazing. It might be my favorite in the entire series. But yea, as far as gameplay, characters, boss battles, and just general plot go it is definitely pretty amazing. I really enjoyed it a lot.
