This entry is very solid. The party members and villains are good (not the best though), there's a class system, and there's multiple worlds to explore.

What it lacks is the narrative and protagonist aren't as interesting as 4's. Additionally many minor plotlines are reused from previous games which makes it feel a little repetitive even if it arguably improved many of them.

Overall I'd say this entry ranks in the middle of the series. It's good but not particularly a must play like others are.
