I have a complicated relationship with this game. It modernizes Final Fantasy 5's job and combat formula and polishes it to a mirror sheen. It's got beautiful backdrops and an excellent soundtrack. Even though the plot's a contrived mess made from the characters' inability to just talk to each other, there's lots of other things to enjoy. I 100% recommend this game up through completing the first world. And as soon as you move onto the second world, it all goes to hell. You stop going to new places, fighting new monsters, meeting new characters, and getting new jobs. The characters' inability to talk to each other keeps getting stupider until it breaks all immersion. They could have easily compressed all the worlds down into 3 worlds and focused on making those more distinct, but they didn't. It's disappointing that this is the best a second edition of the game could do. They were given the time and money to give it another pass, and even with that, it still feels repetitive, rushed, and disjointed. Games like this are frustrating. It was so close to being wonderful, and then the second half of it collapses. Thanks for exploring it in depth, Greyarc. It takes a long time to do that.
