Video Game Reviews of Final Fantasy V Advance
Customer Review: "I am Neo Exdeath..."
Summary: 4 Stars
This game, though not quite as great as IV was, is still an extremely fun game to play.
Alright, I will get the bad stuff out of the way first because the good outweigh the bad by far. It's basically the storyline and characters that made this game weak. First off, we have Bartz, the Class S Retard and one of the stupidest line-sayers ever. For instance, after Cid said (loosely), "We certainly served that overgrown cray fish," Bartz immediately responds, "With some mashed potatoes and cheese biscuits!" Okay, what the hell does that have to do with cray fish? Anyway, then we have Lenna the Class A Naive Princess, Galuf the Class A Retard, Faris the Class A Insecure Female, and Krile the Class S Ditz. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THE EVIL THAT STALKS THE EARTH AND WISHES FOR POWER...Exdeath. Yeah, I built up the suspense on purpose. He's probably the worst villain in Final Fantasy I've ever played against (exactly, played against, I've never played Final Fantasy VIII yet so don't bother me about Ultimecia). His part in the storyline is to destroy all of the Crystals (yet again another recurring storyline).
Alright, now that that's out of the way, onto the good stuff. First of all, the ATB system (it is just that good to keep mentioning). Now, we have the more fluent job system. III did not have a very good job system. This one does. First of all, there are more jobs to pick from as you progress through the game. Second, every job has at least one valuable trait to it so that another job will not take its place. Third, when you learn an ability, you can take that ability and stick it on an unlikely job. For example (this is a classic example), a Black Mage who can Jump. There are literally hundreds of possibilities to customize a single person and the entire group. Try what feels best to you.
I feel that this game has some of the hardest superbosses anyone will ever meet in a Final Fantasy game. Omega and Shinryu are frighteningly more powerful than the final boss. And to add insult to injury, in the new Sealed Temple, they have more powerful counterparts, Omega Mk. II and Neo Shinryu. But, I think of this as exciting. I love to play difficult games with difficult bosses, and this is one of those games.
The music, though still as great as always, doesn't match up to the standards of IV or VI. But, the Boss Battle music BEFORE the last boss is awesome to listen to and is a very catchy tune.
This game is the first one to start the recurring boss trend. Gilgamesh fits this role perfectly and provides the comic relief some people want. His best phrase is, "Hasta la bye bye!" How's that for kooky comic relief?
To summarize, except for the storyline and the characters, this game is a great game to play. It is one of the most customizable games in the series, allowing hours of fun with those battles that make you grind your teeth.
