Each character had over 30 abilities, but I could only use one, apart from the default one for a job class, what really sucks.... And the ending......... it was then that I completely lost faith on this game...... terrible.


the story was ok, the script pretty crap, the characters flat but the job system? dnt be dissing the job system. ffv was as much a strategy as an rpg. you have to apply the abilities when you need them and formulate small and sometimes complex strategies with what you have. you dont stick with the same abilities for long, you change them to suit your needs. when you get further into the game and you have an arsenal of abilities then thats when the fun starts. knowing how to use them means you can defeat the hardcore enemies on supremley low levels
