I gotta be better about not accidentally destroying my saves on my SNES classic.
Anyways, I did not finish FFV (I lost hours due to a save issue) but it’s really great so far. Typically it’s not mentioned in the same breath as IV or VI and I can understand why, but it’s still excellent. The 16-bit Final Fantasy formula with these three titles is immaculate.
The soundtrack is a bit of a step down so far but there’s lots of really interesting ideas. I love the Job system. I love how there’s dragons instead of airships. You spend a lot more time on a ship in this one as opposed to IV. The story is engaging enough so far, again a bit of a step down but by no means bad. Character designs I find aren’t as creative as other entries but the enemy design is still top tier.
My hope is that they’ll port the Pixel remasters to console and I can start fresh from there (and they fix the font, but I’ll take anything.)
