GBA. It has the best translation, and a bit of extra content ( Gladiator, Oracle, Cannoneer jobs ) and another extra job if you play through and beat the bonus dungeon and defeat A certain boss. Kinda nice that they made that bonus dungeon and boss actually relevant to the story, people don't usually do that in ports.

For being on the GBA, the sound and music is actually really good, especially on the Micro.
Graphically I find it very appealing compared to the SNES and PS1 versions, everything stands out nicely, looks much more polished over all.

Oh, don't bother with the phone por-

Oh, okay good. I like you.

does the smaller screen hamper things, text-wise.

>>3442828
No, they made the text big for that very reason.
I had no problems reading or seeing anything on the Micro, so just playing on an SP or a DS will be maximum comfy.

Oh, I played through it on an emulator once, so I have some screenshots to give an example.

>The snes original would need a patch so which is the best translation?
The best way would be to play it without a translation.

The battle backgrounds were all redone, I think they look pretty nice, especially in comparison to the SNES and PS1.

>>3442834
sounds good.

does the ps1 version have anything that makes it better or is gba the way to go?

PS1 version has a pretty sloppy translation (not as bad as ps1 ff4 though), and then there's loading times. It has FMV's for the intro of the game and the end. Aside from that it's exactly the same as the SNES.

Also don't know why those screenshots ended up so small, it'll obviously be bigger on a GBA/SP/DS

I'd go with the original for a first playthrough for almost any game, especially past gen 3, but I can read Japanese so I'm not sure how bad the fan translation is.

A fan translation of FFV SFC is great.
The PS1 version is complete shit. Awful translation and awful loading times.
The GBA version is easily the best. Best translation, updated graphics look less like a game from 1990, and extra content. The only downside is the music that took a hit from the shithouse GBA speaker.

>>3442861
oh don't worry, those screenshots are lovely.

>>3442867
was worried about the ps1 port, loading times are ok sometimes but the poor translations that square did at the time do ruin things a little.

gba it is! Thanks much, saved £10 not buying from ebay, shame the gba version is still the same price range but i'll download that sucker and play on the 3dsxl.

Thanks again /vr/, stay classy.

No probably anon. Hope you enjoy the game, it's pretty good, and the job system is fun to play with. Cheers

It's a great game. Everytime I see a new thread about it I get the itch to do a fiesta run.

FF5 is great.

The Fiesta is dogshit. 90% of the time it's either too easy or far too difficult.

>>3443270
Yeah you are not wrong about that. But it makes the get feel freash every time I play it. Which is my 9th time starting today.

>>3442810
You would be a total idiot if you were asking about Dragon Quest since the mobile ports ARE the best versions (except 3)

>>3443625
But he's not. Amazing post.

It's commonly accepted that the 90s were when games hit the uncanny valley, so this is a good thing.

If you don't want to get laughed at, you should try to hide your autism, faggot.

One thing about the GBA ports is that you can use the sound restoration patch if you don't like it. It also fixes any slowdown issues in the port as well.

Even if I don't like some aspects of the port, using Amano's portraits when a character is talking, it is the best way to play it at the moment.

In particular, since FFV was actually a pretty drab game, you don't lose anything with the smaller real estate.

>>3443650
The DS version of DQ4 is the best. The Japanese original and not a translation, but that should be obvious.

Where the fuck did Galuf get those meteors? I hate how that was never explained.

>>3442810
I own the PS1 version; GBA version; and Android version, and played the emulated SNES patched version...

They are all fine. I prefer now adays to play the Android because I work too much.

I know the GBA version is by all accounts better but I just cannot look past the Amano portraits.

They're awful in this game. They look NOTHING like the characters.

SNES

>>3446184
Yeah, I ignored them for the most part. Faris and Lenna most of all look completely different, and Bartz looks as pale as Alucard. Galuf isn't terrible imo
