Board 8 » What is the definitive way to play Final Fantasy V nowadays?
I've been marathoning the entire series on Twitch for the past month or so, and I'm using the PSP version for I-IV.

I HAVE the GBA version, but honestly the text and the music aren't the best. Though I want the extra jobs and content...

Is it worth it to just play a fan translation of the SNES version or is sticking with the GBA version the best? How is the PS1 version?

The GBA version has the best translation except for calling the bad guy the Former Death so that's probably preferable.
The only thing wrong with PS1 is that people will cry about the load times

GBA is best, there are patches for the music
GBA with the music patched.
The backlog starts coming and it don't stop coming
I played the GBA version recently and had a great time! I thought the text was great and didn't really notice the music problems, but sure patch it if it's a problem.

Or you can wait for the new Steam/Mobile versions, I don't know what translations those will have.

Just beat: Final Fantasy IX!
Fantranslated snes is perfectly fine too.

My preference is GBA version. Steam/mobile version uses the dialogue from them, and has the bonus dungeons too, but is... really weird looking.

GBA was mighty fine
Good to know, I'll just stick to GBA then. Thanks all.

GBA is definitely good. I never noticed anything with the music.

I feel completely refreshed. Like I just put on fresh underwear on New Year's Day.
GBA, and it's a handheld game so just listen to something else while playing it problem solved

The true twist is to listen to the OST on Spotify while playing it

Faris going Y'har, me harr! every other line doesn't help. Takes a badass pirate with some story and depth and turns her into the pirate cliche.

They should've ended every sentence with "savvy?"
Yeah some of the extra flourishes are stupid but overall it adds character to the script.

Yeah I can't do that while streaming it.

I also didn't know they made Faris sound like Bikke the Pirate either. Oh well that can be fun to read.

Please buy our game again.
It's like paying for bubble wrap. -transience on Final Fantasy: All the Bravest
GBA version because the bonus dungeons are worth playing.
"Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?"
"Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think."
GBA version is the definitive edition for me.
The new sprite art for the compilation look kinda...funky.

Take makes zero sense

Either call him Exodus or X-Death. Anything else is nonsensical.

Exodus would definitely be wrong
MZero , to the extreme
I never saw azuarc coming, but he won the Guru!

And it's still preferable to Former Death!

Is 'former death' not just a similar way of saying 'undead'? I think it's a neat name.

Anyway who cares, call him what you want!

He's not undead!
Well he's not Death either, I don't see how Exdeath is any sillier a name! It just sounds cool.

So if you're going to lean into the cheesy 90 villains name, lean all the way in. There isn't a more 90s villain name than X-Death

Sometimes one letter is the difference between a good name and an almost good name
