Mechanics

Final Fantasy V is the another major installment of the popular series of jRPG titles. The title was originally released on the Super Nintendo console in 1992. In terms of mechanics it is a typical representative of the jRPG genre, in which we control a four-person party, traversing the world and fighting in a turn-based system with randomly encountered opponents. One of the biggest novelties in the game is the development of class system, known from the first and third installments of the series. At the beginning of the game we have access to only a few of them, but as the game progresses, their number grows to twenty-two. Each of them is developed separately, giving players the opportunity to create characters with different skill combinations.

Final Fantasy VI follows the typical formula, focusing on exploration and turn-based combat. Up to four heroes can be on the battle party at the same time, who develop their abilities during the game, and learn new spells thanks to special magical stones, enabling them, for example, to summon powerful Espers. This part of the series offers fourteen playable characters, the largest number in the history of the series so far, each of which has their own motives and a specific set of skills.

Technical aspects

As part of Final Fantasy Anthology, the creators complemented both productions with FMV inserts, playing the roles of intro and outro. In addition, Final Fantasy VI includes a module in which console owners can get acquainted with the bestiary, rewatch cut-scenes, get acquainted with concept arts or play one of the mini-games.
