    What about 'the villian is lame' sense?

    They both had awesome battle music though. And Gilgamesh is CLEARLY The Man.

    most ff villians are lame. kefka is lame. golbez is lame. chaos is basically really dumb. sephiroth is kinda badass but still lame.

    if you base the quality of a ff game on the coolness of the villian, then I guess ff9 is the best by far. It's almost the best anyway.

    kuja is probably the best main villain in any ff game, yesh. kefka's almost a comedy villain though, he's definitely not a serious one. not intended to be badass at all, just thoroughly evil and hilarious.

    Kuja loses all credibility since he looks like a freaking ho. I think the characterization in V was the worst of the postnes era, and so maybe that's why I didn't like it as much. Because I didn't care about the characters.

    Yeah, character development was definitely lacking in this one. Makes up for it with solid gameplay. Oh, and Gilgamesh.

    Yes.

    (yes, that's a female )

    And I agree with DocFrance.

    Five isn't my favourite, but it has some good ideas. The Job System was a little overdone, in my opinion. So many different classes that they became less distinct. If there were ten or so radically different jobs, then it would've been more interesting for me, rather than the huge number of jobs.

    However, the plot's reasonably gripping, especially the back-story about (SPOILER)Enuo and the splitting of the world. Also, having an airship and submarine is always cool.

    FFV also has Galuf, and tough old guys are great.

    I liked the characters because they didn't pretend to be "deep" and they had a little bit of interesting backstory. Besides, they have more character than the FF1 fellows or the Onion boys.

    I think Kuja is hot, anyway. Who cares what his gender is?

    absolutely. they're not my favourite ff characters ever, but they don't blow chunks and don't suffer from a completely piss-poor translation (well at least on the rom, i've never played the playstation version).

    and i agree on the kuja thing

    the job system was a bit overdone, sure, but it adds to the replayability when there's no chance of you using all the jobs adequately your first trip through. ff5 is obviously the kind of game that's meant to be replayed anyway, since the first half of the game doesn't make sense until you've played the second half of the game. chrono cross was kind of similar in that respect in that the very end of the game didn't make any sense until you replayed the whole thing. well, i guess that's the complete opposite, but each game was still a hell of a lot more fun to replay because of that.

    FF5 is AWESOME!!! but it's not the best. the storyline is good, i absolutely LOVE ATB, and the job system, but i still like FF8 the best.
