God, I love this game! I myself have only played the PSX version but that's good enough! The king of Tycoon feels something is wrong with the wind, and thus goes to the Wind Shrine to check on the Wind Crystal. His daughter, Reina, wishes him luck. The scene switches to a pirate on his ship named Faris. He notices something wrong with the wind as well... then it switches to THE INSIDE of the meteor. An old man says that it has already began, and thus he must hurry. Then, You take on the role of Bartz, a traveler of the world born in (Lix in Japan; not sure about in the US). He and his chocobo, Boko, hear something bad going on, so they go to see what's wrong. A meteor has crashed near Tycoon, and as Bartz walks near, he finds two goblins taking Reina. He fights them, gets Reina, tell her his name... well, that's only the beginning. In Final Fantasy 5, the system used is the Job System.
Explanation of the Job System: You will gain many crystal shards throughout the game, which are "Jobs". They allow a large amount of freedom in customizing your team (Bartz, Reina, Faris, and Galuf, the old man). For example, you can have Bartz become a Knight, or Faris become a Dragoon. The one class they have without jobs equipped is called a Suppin(or BARE, if you own the PSX version, like me). Then there's the Ability system. Your jobs are devided by "levels". You gain levels by gaining certain amounts of ABP(Ability Points). By gaining a level, you gain a skill. E.G.: You have a Lvl2 Dragoon. You have his skills, "Jump" and "Lance". Now you equip a White Mage job to your character. You can put one of those skills on that job!
This game holds MUCH MUCH more secrets than ff6. The only secret that tops any of the ones in FF5 is finding GoGo in ff6. My overall score? 9 and a half out of 10 The game is great, but because of Krile... I had to knock the score down by half a point. - Jed Bookout
