What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
While the narrative to me wasn’t as good as FF4, the job system mechanics are truly revolutionary for an early 90’s game.
These same three types of world screens will occupy your entire gameplay here and honestly, I’m starting to feel the repetition.
The soundtrack of Final Fantasy III is still a feast for your ears, it’s really amazing how much they managed to do with the tools they had back in the day.
Final Fantasy V is a fantastic evolution, with all new updated graphics and another series staple to have the Job system, first introduced in Final Fantasy III.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 3 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
