Maybe I missed the boat

My plan was to play through ff1-9 having only ever played 7 when it first came out. Ff5 was the first of the series I couldn’t finish. The story was lame, the characters and bosses were even lamer. I loved 1 thru 4, but 5 played like a 13 year old fan made made it. Btw I put as much effort into this review as I feel ff5’s creators put into the story.
I wouldn’t ask for too many changes

I like FFV. It probably has the most play time of all the iOS ports. I don’t mind the controls. I love the job system. I have two complaints: The new character sprites look nothing like the Amano portraits. There are no shadows under the character sprites, so the characters look ungrounded. Even simple black ovals at the feet would do.
Game Excellent, Implementation Weak
Buckeye Mac
The game is excellent, like the rest of the console Final Fantasy games. However, this version has several annoyances that affect game play, such as prompting to sign into Game Center every time it starts or between app switches (I don't want to sign in, and it has no matchmaking anyway.) When I did sign in, I got bombarded with "achievements" which I could frankly have done without. It doesn't help with story immersion. The positioning of the buttons in battle is also not very comfortable.
Classic game but one issue here

Great characters, story, and art. But please add support for iPhone XS Max, the game does not go full screen properly and it just looks lazy on this device.
Awesome game but comes with glitches

Final Fantasy V is a great game, the graphics look clean and sharp. But I am disappointed with the music, it loops back to the beginning every time a random battle occurs. This did not happened in Final Fantasy Anthology for the PlayStation 1. The character sprites also could have been better.
Great game but needs support for newer devices

Terrific port. Not the best FF story, but the bonkers job system makes up for it. Only gripe is that the game does not fill the screen on newer devices like iPad Pro or iPhone XS Max.
App crashes when exited

Unfortunately, the game is near-unplayable because it crashes every time the app is exited and reopened.
Finally iCloud support!
