I thought Final Fantasy V was pretty weak. I took the crystal ideas like FF I, II, III, and IV. Each other game though seems to have a better outlook than V. Even though I have never play FF I or II I think that FF I being the 1st one and all should have the crystal idea. II i don't know anything about but it seems kinda better than V i guess but don't take this statement far. FF III I thought was a better improved version of FF V the job classes were better i thought the storyline was pretty nice and the characters weren't too orginal like 5. IV had somethings that I had liked alot. FFV just didn't have what I needed I thought V was just a final fantasy they threw in because they needed money and combined FF III and I.
