Final Fantasy V<\/a> is celebrating its 30th anniversary in Japan today! Geez.<\/p>\n

Released on the Super Famicom on 6th December 1992, Final Fantasy V was a return to the Job System set-up of Final Fantasy<\/a> and Final Fantasy III<\/a> on the NES. It’s also sandwiched between what many consider two of the best Final Fantasy games ever \u2014 Final Fantasy IV<\/a> and Final Fantasy VI<\/a> \u2014 and because of its lack of an official English localisation on the SNES (fans had to wait until 1999’s PS1 rerelease), it doesn’t always get the love it deserves.<\/p>\n

While its story may be on the simpler side, Final Fantasy V is rightly lauded for its massive Job System. Simplifying things from III, Final Fantasy V gives you 22 jobs (and four additional ones in the GBA version<\/a>) to play around with, and plenty of them are new. While classics like Knight, Black Mage, and Monk all return, but a few now-iconic classes were introduced in this entry such as Blue Mage, Samurai, Chemist, and that bell-ringing classic Geomancer.<\/p>\n
