Final fantasy v is overall a video game with a ton of positive aspects like the good Gameplay,art Style that has aged well,a somewhat good soundtrack not the best in the franchise by any means and of course the job systemt(there are more than 20 jobs each One Being unique and having their own skills,this give a ton of customization to the player something that was lacking in final fantasy 4,the game Also feels like a adventure due to it's non Linear nature and the quantity of hidden/optional content.
However,the game drops the ball due to 90 game design having trial and error mechanics that end up leading to your death not because of your fault but because the game never warns about what is ahead,for example we have enemies that can One shot the player,op bosses that are way too strong for certain areas (Omega)and the fact that some bosses force you to use jobs you don't want to use just to beat certain bosses truly sucks.
There are unfortunately way too many difficulty spikes so do not expect a easy game or a power fantasy,the game third act Also draggs too much imo having almost no story or epic moments to show thus becoming a treasure hunt for the ultimate weapons.
