PS1 port of Final Fantasy V with its extremely rich and customizable Job system. The gameplay depth surpasses many JRPGs and character-building freedom is remarkable. Some loading times but one of the most mechanically satisfying FF experiences.

Is Final Fantasy Anthology - Final Fantasy V still worth playing in 2026?
A PlayStation port of the fifth Final Fantasy, this title shines with its job system of rare richness, where you freely combine classes and skills to build tailor made strategies. The lighter toned adventure and the fearsome boss Exdeath offer great tactical depth and high replay value. The loading times and a 16 bit original production weigh a little. A founding RPG to recommend for fans of deep battle systems and lovers of Square's golden age.
