BEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED!!!!!

I love this game! I think it is awesome to play and anyone who loves traditional rpgs will love it too. I think the music is great and fun to listen to. The storyline is long and very funny and there are 20+ bosses. I really enjoy the job system where you can mix and match abilities and I am sure you will spend hours with that. Unlike the other reviewers, I really like the graphics and I love these new remakes of snes games. Honestly, I prefer that over 3-D. I give this game 5 STARS!!!!!

Square once again strikes GBA gold

Over the past couple years, Square has been releasing ports of their beloved older Final Fantasy games to the GBA, with results ranging from great to excellent. Final Fantasy V Advance is no different, once again offering superb and classic RPG action that does the GBA proud. If you remember the Final Fantasy Anthology that was released for the PS1 years back, you'll remember this game, and when playing it on the GBA, you'll notice a few slight differences, most notably in the game's story and dialogue. The graphics look like you would expect a 16-bit Final Fantasy game to look like, with fluid animations and environments to boot. The lengthy quest is quite challenging as well, offering up a great amount of replay value which help you get your money's worth with this game. If there's any downsides to Final Fantasy V Advance, it's the typical kind you'd expect from the older games in the series: the horde of random battles that you'll across will grate on your nerves, and newer RPG players probably won't dig the dated presentation. Not to mention that for a Final Fantasy game, the game's story doesn't grab you and make you want to keep playing just to find out what happens next. Despite all that, Final Fantasy V Advance is another wonderful port of the classic series to Nintendo's undying handheld system, and the better news is that the best game in the series, Final Fantasy VI, is on the way to the GBA too.

A noteworthy game!

I will not cover a lot of information since that has already been done excellently.I personally did NOT like FFVII to give you an idea of my choices. The story was compelling but there were quite a few annoying things about that game.To me FFV is classic role playing fun.The story is just right for the game. I even found a few laughs, within, which surprised me.I have not finished playing it yet but so far am I not disappointed since this is not a boring game.I would suggest using the Nintendo guide for the maps, jobs and abilities help if you like to get as much as you can from a game.

THE BEST FINAL FANTASY OF ALL

What is wrong with the people who say "Not the best..." "Not here" and "Not that", heck!!! by far, this one and Final Fantasy VI are the best FFs ever done. To me, the franchise died after Square did that faillure called Final Fantasy VII, but that is another stroy. The importan here is that Final Fantasy V is maybe the best in the series and the job/class system works sweet.

Back in the day, when Final Fantasy V first came out, it was not released in the United States for the SNES because japanese executives thought "americans" were not smart enough to understand the game. Now is the time to prove them wrong. Buy this beautyful piece of videogame art!

You'd think, after playing the first four Final Fantasy games(FF III taking the longest to finish), I'd be done burn out on the series. Well, thankfully, I did have a little break in there by playing Scurge: Hive & it was enough for me to recharge my batteries and get ready to play part 5. While I'll admit, it isn't my most favorite Final Fantasy...it is, however, the best Final Fantasy game I've played. No wonder it's the one Final Fantasy that alot of future FF games were based upon gameplay conceptwise. The game holds up very well by todays' standards. It's definitely worth adding to the collection.

The story is something like this....When the wind crystal suddenly shatters and causes the wind in the world to simply stop, Princess Lenna sets off to discover exactly what happened. It's not long before she's joined in her quest by Bartz, Galuf, and Faris. Together, they set off to try to prevent the world's other elemental crystals from shattering.

It's one of those RPGs that true hardcore RPG gamers shouldn't miss. I highly recomend it.

Best of the 2D Final Fantasies

Great game. No other game in the Final Fantasy series gives you so much freedom to develop your characters. Through the job system, you can design each of the characters however you like, and modify on-the-fly. Every game will play a little differently, depending on what jobs you combine. If you like games like Final Fantasy Tactics for the customization, but hate strategy and would rather have a full RPG, look no further.

FFV on GBA!!! SWEEEET!

I loved this game because of the fact that you can easily gain levels as high as 30 in between the beginning and the middle of the game (99 is the limit). I also have FF Anthology and I can notice some differences with these two ports. First of all, Reina's name was changed to Lenna (Reina is FF Anthology's name for the pink haired girl and Lenna is the GBA's name for the pink haired girl), They use pictures of the characters when ever one of the main characters are talking, some of the names of the classes are changed like trainer (FFA's name) to beastmaster (GBA's name), loading times for battles are non-existent (good!) because FFA takes 1-2 seconds to load and same thing with opening up the menu for your character status, X-death's name has an E in front of it so it's EX-Death and some of the spells are renamed too (names are similar to FF8!) so if you are looking for Fire 2 it's called Fira. Despite the differences, I find it good that they have a handheld version of this game so when I go on vacation, I can take it with me (along with my other 2 FF games and some other great SNES-to-GBA RPGs) If you don't have FF Anthology, you don't really need to worry because this game is just as good as the PSone port (dispite the graphical changes).

Making jobs fun.

Final Fantasy V is not my favorite Final Fantasy game, but it certainly is in the running. While it lacks the wonderful, in-depth story and character development of it's successor, it more than makes up for it with arguably the best gameplay in the franchise. Sure, the final villain is possibly the series lamest, but who cares? Building up your abilities via the then-revolutionary take on the job system is an absolute blast.

The only other negatives are the fact that some of the jobs are borderline completely useless. Either way though, the game is well-worth the price of admission. Highly recommended!

Last installment

This is the last installment of the Final Fantasy games for the Gameboy Advance. And as far as how good it is, it's Final Fantasy. There should be no worries there.

This Game Rocks!!!

Some final fantasy people might be annoyed with the graphic but remember when the game was created.

Reasons why to like this game:
1) The story line is great and has twists to them that are cool. All the characters have substance to them.
2) The graphics are hysterical and make you laugh.
3) The traveling is cool.
4) The Jobs are fun to play play mix and this game has more abilities for all characters than any other final fantasy game I played so far. I play X, X-2, XII, VI, I, II,
