It was too fun
Remake when? Alas RS2R of course

Is SNES version the best or GBA?

>>713896735 (OP)
That flat colouring oozes sovl

>>713900280
SNES have better sound, GBA bonus dungeon and extra jobs.

>>713900280
If you desperately want the post game content, or it's more convenient to play on GBA (very niche but I played GBA on an old 3DS that couldn't play SNES) then GBA is fine with a couple of patches to fix the colours and sound. Otherwise I would go SNES

>>713896735 (OP)
Fun and the story was simple but nice. I also really love the game's ending

I know there's a patch that fixes the sound quality in the VI GBA rom, is there a similar one for V?

>>713903725
Sure https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/563/

>>713896735 (OP)
job system + ATB
only X-2 comes close
a pokemon game with job switching like xiii-2 would be fun tho

>>713897083
>Remake when?
I still remember some old article where SE was considering remaking V and VI in the same style as III and IV for the DS.
I was so disappointed when they never came to be and they shat out those mobile abominations instead.

>>713896735 (OP)

The atmosphere, soundtrack and characters.
The job system too.

>>713900280
GBA with the sound fix patch is pretty damn good.

We are unironically getting another IV remake. Japan fucking love that game

>>713905075
>a pokemon game with job switching like xiii-2 would be fun tho
closest thing that exists to this is Enchant Farm, but it doesn't have job switching, just characters with fixed jobs/archetypes. otherwise it is literally pokemon's mechanics bolted onto a romancing saga game.

What's the best version to play this considering additional content and fan patches?

>>713896735 (OP)
Lots of replayability with the job system and challenges
Fun classic Final Fantasy adventure that doesn't take itself too seriously but also has plenty of badass moments
Amazing soundtrack of course

>additional content
Pretty sure the GBA version is still the only version with the bonus dungeon (which is honestly pretty lame, aside from one of the bosses maybe because of story reasons) and the new jobs (which are cool but got way too late, especially necromancer), so if you care about those that's your only choice.

I really like FFV. I thought I would like Bravely Default 1 as well since it has a job system which seems similar at first glance, but it just felt too restrictive. Having stats tied to job level, needing to be the right level to cast magic(even when playing as a mage), and the lack of stat boost when equipping magic or weapon proficiency skills. I can have a lvl 1 white mage with unarmed in FFV, and they will have full access to white magic and be capable of punching things for actual damage. I heard the sequels fix some of those issues in BD, but FFV how it handles the job system.

>>713913917
I know you've played this, I'm just using your post as an excuse to talk about it a bit.
I wish SE was still ballsy enough to release more games like this. Pretty much loved everything about it except getting fucked over by not being able to choose your targets.
BD is often called a spiritual sequel, but I'm not really feeling it (despite the boss cameos) because they dropped the "pseudo-retro" aesthetic and music. BD doesn't even qualify storywise either because it gets way too meta while this one is firmly rooted in the NES/early SNES era.

>>713913010
This was my exact same experience. A lot of times it honestly felt like the BD devs played FFV and tried their best to "fix" all the fun and broken stuff in FFV and the stuff you can still do is tedious as fuck to do.

>FFV beating FFVI

Based Japan.
I hope we a get another light-hearted mainline Final Fantasy one day. Don’t get me wrong I love both games equally

Just now noticing Final Fantasy V and Earthbound start up the exact same way

Everyone always calls V that, and while it is pretty goofy at times, it also has some moments that make me think IV is actually the most light-hearted one out of the SNES games. Maybe in the whole series.

??

Did you some how miss that fact that Galuf is a king so his granddaughter would be a princess?

Lenna is the daughter if King Alexander and Faris is actually her sister Sarisa so both of them are princesses too?

Well technically Lenna takes the throne when her dad dies but she starts the game a princess.

>>713923217
I mean, IV starts with you bombing a city, then going to another town full of people and blowing them up, killing all of them but one little girl.

>>713924283
And then there is Bartz/Butz Klauser

>>713924435
faceless nobodies dying mean nothing

THE LAWS OF THE UNIVERSE MEAN NOTHING!

Oh sweet a FFV thread. Don't get to post this image that often.
Great game, I should try a Four Job Fiesta again.

>>713924435
Sure, but when you visit those towns later, they're doing just fine. One is rebuilding (and the only known casualty is Rydia's mother) and the other is playing clown music on you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvE4knGPqxw
I'm not denying that IV has a fair bit of drama, it's just that a lot of it gets downplayed as the game goes on.
In V it's all far more permanent, despite the occassional silliness.

i love how the music sounds like it came out of The Neverending Story

>>713923217
To be fair to IV, the only ones you see die and come back in bullshit manner are the twins.
Tellah stays dead, Cid and Yang tank explosions but you dont see their bodies has morbid as that sounds, and Rydia's eaten and transported to the hyperbolic time cave. 4's plot is stupid but goofy as hell.

>>713929094
Same with Anna. See her die and she stays dead.

>>713896735 (OP)
I really like FFV's fanart, it's so rare to see it around.

>>713900280
SNES. GBA graphics are bad and the new jobs you can't even get until the end of the game or post game so what's even the point

Have you anons tried the FFV romhacks? Seems like some add a bunch of autistic stuff.

>>713929985
Oh yeah she dies too.
Rydia's mom too, and AY is so bad and stupid it still didn't even give her a name.

>>713923217
It's not that FFIV is lighthearted, the stakes just aren't permanent in most cases. When I think of lighthearted I think of things like Bartz and Boco interacting, the whole pirate ship section where Bartz and Galuf trade quips, them finding out Faris is a woman, Gilgamesh being a goofball rival, the whole team making fun of Ghido, Exdeath turning into a splinter. In contrast the only lighthearted things in IV I can think of are the dancers, Edge having the hots for Rydia and Yang getting woken up by his wife's frying pan but that's entirely missable.

>>713896735 (OP)
Shouldn't Faris be flat? Also Lenna's Lennas are too big

>>713896735 (OP)
Not even the best FF

>>713936881
Unironically Exdeath yelling I TURNED MYSELF INTO A SPLINTER KRILE!!! I'M SPLINTER EXDEATH!!!!! is a better reason for him being able to consistently tail the party than Kefka getting stronger entirely off-screen and then suddenly jumping up 60 levels in five minutes and killing or dominating the Warring Triad in FF6

>>713937183
By far the best FF

Reminder this is what Amano thinks Boco (a chocobo) looks like

no wonder he got laid with that girl chocobo

>princess princess princess

>>713900280
Pixel remaster, by far.

>>713937473
Being lighthearted and making sense isn't mutually exclusive, the point is you don't see a lot of goofy stuff going on in FF4 compared to FF5

>>713896735 (OP)
So are you people finally waking up?
next i need people to wake up when it comes to FFIV. Its actually one of the worst, and the only thing the game has for it is that "it was ok for its time", just like GTA3.

>>713900280
SNES easily. Looks better, sounds better, isn't cropped, and doesn't have any tacked badly designed on bullshit.

V has higher peaks and valleys then IV where it is more goofy, but on the flip side, it's a lot darker as well for the listed reasons.

>>713942473
Yes

>>713918605
>because they dropped the "pseudo-retro" aesthetic
No they didn't, both games have the same pop-up storybook aesthetic.

>>713938095
I like Amano's art most of the time but I can't see his designs as the FF5 cast, the feeling from the in-game look is just completely different

>>713938963
What specifically did you find bad about FF3?

>>713943569
Not him, but it was completely obsoleted by 5. No other FF has been mogged so hard by another one.

>>713943680
I'd agree that the job system is much more refined in 5, but idk about it totally replacing the game. At the very least, it's better than the first two.

I turbo autistic posted this on /ffg/ but I really want to reiterate how fucking stupid this is.
HOW IS THERE NOT A FUCKING SINGLE PORTRAIT MOD FOR FFV PR THAT MODIFIES THE PORTRAITS INTO SOMETHING THAT'S MORE IN LINE WITH THE SPRITES? WHY IS IT WHEN FFV ALWAYS GETS REFERENCED ITS ALWAYS WITH AMANO'S SHITTIER FUCKING DESIGNS?
BUT REALLY BACK TO THE PORTRAIT MOD HOW THE FUCK DID FFVI (WHICH ALREADY HAS THE SPRITES AND PORTRAITS MORE IN LINE WITH EACH OTHER) GET A REDDITOR TO FIX THAT SHIT BUT NOT FUCKING FFV WHERE ALL THE CHARACTERS LOOK COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. DOES THIS NOT TRIGGER ANYONE ELSE OFF???????????????????

EXHIBIT A

>>713943865
EXHIBIT B
where in the god foresaken explaination where these two fucking images match?????????????? the thing that pisses me off the most is that opera omina already HAS fucking freelancer character art that's more in line with the sprites but the creator of the mod JUST USED THE FUCKING AMANO DESIGN. OH MY FUCKING GOD DOES THIS NOT TRIGGER ANYONE ELSE OFF? ITS COMPLETELY FUCKING DIFFERENT

>>713928352
Is Bravely Default 2 worth it? I've always considered picking it up on Steam since people tend to compare the jobs systems of BD with FF5

>>713943569
Non-existent characters, mediocre plot, half baked job system.
The twist at the start and having to free the Warriors of Dark at the end was cool.

>>713938963
>rebirth and remake that high
what the fuck do you guys see in this? im genuinely wondering like holy hell man every day I scratch my head wondering how the fuck people can play both of them and not go "what the fuck is this?" they're not bad games but people act like they're cream of the crop and this shit is like fucking watching squid games or something

>>713944083
Turns out the battle system is insanely good.

>>713896735 (OP)
Meh if there's two things I brutally hated about Final Fantasy 5 is how you need to waste so much time to master all the Jobs most of which are useless and how you can only have two job skill sets at the maximum, should be three. What's the point of mastering jobs when you can't indulge? Final Fantasy 5 leaves a lot to be desired. And I thought the story was weak. This is one game that would benefit from a remake. Hell including a multiverse makes sense in THIS game because the main plot twist is Bartz realizing his world was splintered of Galuf's world which at one point was naturally fused together.

>>713944176
it is? it just feels like an action game oh but look at the cool juggles i can do, okay nice you can do that in nier automata too and you don't see them fucking stroking their dick over it.

>story was weak
my doctor said if i get too angry too much i might actually suffer some brain damage so i'll try not to engage too much but what in the blazing holy hell (i'll actually ignore that this fucking thread decided to ignore my rant about the portraits) but THE STORY FUCKING WEAK? WHAT? were you playing the game blind? did your mom fucking drop you one too many times????

>>713943865
Anything with portraits in textboxes is ugly and stupid anyway

>>713944083
>what the fuck do you guys see in this?
I mean, if you are asking seriously, they are just good games? i dont see them at its core being controversial at all. They are not experimental games. They are just entertaining well rounded games.

FF3 Famicom and FF3 DS should be considered completely different games. That they altered the amount of enemies that attack you per battle and their damage output is enough to classify them separately. The gameplay balance was completely altered.

I like the Amano designs.
I like the GBA content.
I don't like Legend of the Crystals.

>>713944083
The combat system is very satisftying and the games offer a lot of opportunities to enjoy it, the new story is jank but the cutscenes themselves are well directed and really show off the appeal of the characters both in their looks and animations as well as their personalities and interactions. The music is phenomenal. I also like that they're not afraid to mix in a lot of goofiness even in the main story. All in all it feels like a very "rich" and generous game in almost every aspect. Note that when I say all that I'm mostly speaking about Rebirth though, Remake was just okay.

>>713944835
Ok tell me which one is it then?

I tried Void Divergence and one for the GBA version called Custom Classes. Void Divergence was a bit too autistic for me with all the extra convoluted shit they added, but Custom Classes is ok. It gives all the jobs 3 slots for commands like the Mime has so it makes them all much more customizable, and also lets you use the GBA classes before the postgame. However it also vastly increased XP gains and lowered levelup requirements so you are pretty much guaranteed to be wildly overleveled by the end, which is a huge shame because it'd be a great hack otherwise. I still prefer the vanilla version overall.

>>713945489

They were going to make one for 3DS, following up on the 3 & 4 DS remakes, but the project turned into Bravely Default.

Harem as a genra only really started with Tenchi Muyo and it was released a few months before FFV, so it make sense why they didn't go that route.

>>713953521
That's just a guy being a guy, he didn't start trying to start a romantic relationship, plus the idea of a harem is the girls would be competing for Butz.

>>713953212
>harem started with Tenchi Muyou
lmao holy shit you are actually fucking retarded aren't you. So much for this being an anime site, you retards are so far from secondary you've skipped over tertiary and landed straight on quaternary.
Picrel isn't even the true starting point of harem anime but it came out some years prior to the drivel you posted.
Actual answer is Urusei Yatsura by sheer technicality by the way.

Make sense, they didn't have time for that stuff. Maybe after.

>>713952527
>You know a remake would be pushing that shit to an OBNOXIOUS degree
You sure?
The only things they would do is put voices, 3D graphics and if somehow SE isn't lazy as fuck, the GBA dungeon and jobs.
And with how they've been lately, the game would be less sexy.

>>713952546
It looks better by default because it doesn't arbitrarily cut off 40% of the screen.
