This one may ruffle some chocobo feathers but...

V is better than IV and VI, it is the best FF of the SNES era. To wit...

- It has a warmer and more relatable cast.
- It has a more consistent and better told story.
- It has the best battle system.
- It has the most interesting and fun to explore world.
- It has the best villian.
- It has the best secondary villian (Gilgamesh).
- It has the best last dungeon.
- It has the best deaths of main and secondary characters.

Hmmm, yeah...wouldn't mind elaborating on the above points, of course.
