The last great adventure (Final Fantasy V Retrospective)

Final Fantasy 5 (aka FFV or FF5) was a landmark title, but today, it’s remembered mostly as a step in the wrong direction. But I would argue that it wasn’t. In this retrospective video essay, I’ll show you what the game was like, compare it to the previous games in the series, and explain how Final Fantasy V became a victim of missing nostalgia.
