A 1992 RPG still being argued about thirty years later is no accident.

The line that jumps out is desert island: ahead of 91% of games. When you can only take one title with you, Final Fantasy V beats almost everything else. Same height for rediscovery and for the soundtrack, ahead of 89% of games, though on very few votes, so treat that as a trend to confirm. Attachment follows in the upper range. And then there is the dip: the controller feel drops below average. This game does not win you over through immediate sensation, it wins you over through what it leaves behind.

Nothing surprising for an early 90s turn-based RPG: its richness lives elsewhere, in the freedom of its job system, in characters you shape exactly as you like. What the instant-pleasure questions measure is simply not where its strength lies.

So, who is it for? For you if you love deep systems, builds, and an adventure you carry everywhere. Much less if you want a game that hits hard from the very first minute.
