5 and 6 are both great. 5 gets very hard, especially in the latter parts of the game whereas 6 is pretty balanced throughout with odd difficulty spikes.

Hmm, is ff6 really THAT good? one of the few I have yet to play D:

No it isn't, people like to look at it through nostalgia glasses.
You know... one day, some brat is going to tell you that Final Fantasy XXIV-2 PreCrisis:AgitoVSType-Ω Hexatridecim is the best Final Fantasy ever made, that FF7 is utter dog ***, and the only way you'll be able to maintain that it is or ever even "was" a good game is by conceding to the fact that you played it during your youth and as such your opinion is influenced largely if not wholly by nostalgia. Karma's a ***.

The best part about objectivity is that I'm 100% behind you. FFVI... no, every Final Fantasy is a horrible game that even an idiot like Spoony can find countless problems with. I only regret my inability to stop loving them.

Nostalgia glasses rock. Goes great with my old man cane.

FF6 is amazing, easily one of the 3 best FF's in the series. FF5 is good, I like how they let you change jobs and subjob abilities(seems to be where FFXI got this game mechanic).

I already own 3 versions of FF6, so I'm not worried about this dlc.

I never actually played 5, so looking forward to it. 6 is my alltime favorite. Also, these will be psp compatible, right?

It was my least favorite of the entire series. Which is odd because i adore Final Fantasy Tactics (one of my favorite games ever)

For anyone wondering my favorite was IV.

Chrono Cross is pretty much my favorite Playstation game period.
Saying that, I already own a few copies so...ehhh.

FF5 is under-rated imo, mostly because FF4, 6, and 7 were so highly popular.

If you temper your expectations a bit, you'll enjoy FF5. If you expect great things, it might be a let-down.

One of the big things about 5 I've heard a lot of people say they didn't like(I as well) is the static party; in most of the other FF games around that time, you picked up new party members, lost others along the way, things stayed fresh. In FF5, you get 4 characters who really don't fit together in the first place, and for the most part you're stuck with them. I never finished 5, so I don't know if you possibly get some other party member later in the game or anything.

1 new member by the end, you end up with more women than usual.
I liked FFV better than the first 3, honestly.

No, but there was a third party attempt to remake Chrono Trigger in full 3D, but their attempts to keep it underground ultimately failed and they inevitably got a cease and desist notice from SE.
A shame too, it looked very well done for what they had done so far.

You can see their exploits here.

I tried like dozen times to get into it, or at least play it for a decent amount of time. Usually got bored, put it down and went back to another game. ><

I had played the Translated SNES version and the Anthology version of FF5 and didn't really like either of them, but that was years prior to the GBA version of FF5, I've played through it a few times, and have actually enjoyed it pretty well. I LOVED how they did the Job System in 5, and saw how it inspired what came in XI. I'd say easily FF5 is in my top 5 in terms of FFs played

Opinions are awesome. I disagree with you, therefore you are wrong.

EDIT: I got woooshed by the person with the FF6 villain avatar(Ultros). My bad.

FF6 on the GBA was great. I love both games for diff reasons. 5 had a great battle / job system. 6 had a great story and i love the characters.


6 is my favorite game in the series overall.

I agree with you, but if you think about it, it kinda' makes sense. If these guys were allowed to remake Chrono Trigger like that, then SE would have to meet that bar with all future remake/porting attempts of the game. I believe they did it to facilitate laziness and the fact that remakes tend to not be as lucrative as brand new titles (which begs the question of WHY we haven't gotten one yet, actually).

FF6 was easy, 5 required tons of grinding which made the game boring.
4 is the easiest of the three, though.

As much as I like the idea of old games being available, its not like they have not been re-releasing them constantly for the last 10 years. S-E keeps falling back on its old successes to the the point where I'm doubting they have the creative spunk to reach for the new modern JRPG gold.

More new games and less old games re-released for the Xth time.
