should I play the SNES or GBA version? Why?

Thanks in advance

Play the snes version because I said so
>>
SNES sounds better, GBA has a better translation and some bonus stuff.

Take your pick.
>>
>>337857154
every SNES Final Fantasy is way better in the GBA. Believe me, I'm a huge fan, and I've tried them all.
Also, Final Fantasy V is so underrated, to me it is one of the best.
>>
>>337858851
I'd like to believe you. I really really would. But warping to another world in a god damn asteroid is stupid. The job system was meh (Better in the GBA version if memory serves). And VI is so much better that my nuts explode every time I play it. (in a good way)

There's a patch for the GBA rom to restore the SNES sounds and music, so if you do that you get the best of both worlds.
>>
>tfw no gba port of FF Mystic Quest
>>
>>337857154
GBA version has:
- Better translation, like way better.
- 4 new Classes
- 2 Extra Dungeons

SNES has:
- Better sound, I know there is a hacked GBA rom with improved sound quality on the bit tunes, so the one good thing the SNES version has is worthless if you are going to emulate.
>>
>>337857154
The following line:

>"Now we fight like men, and ladies who dress like a men! For Gilgamesh, it's morphin' time!"

Is from the GBA version, which the iOS/Android and Steam followed, so that's automatically the better version.
>>
Is the phone version viable?
>>
>>337857154
I'd say GBA because of the huuuuuge extra dungeons and new classes. The font is less ugly and the translation is better.

There's a patch that turns the sound into that of the SNES version I believe, so there's no reason to pick the latter.

GBA version with SNES sound patch

Here is Final Fantasy Advance IV-V-VI Sound Restoration with a fuck load of fixes (like color restoration, uncensored etc)

Includes mGBA emulator

Did they seriously tarnish the basically perfect translation layed out by the GBA version?
>>
>>337861626

That doesn't even look like FFV

What the fuck is this?
>>
>>337860731

Only downside is that the GBA music had to be mono rather than stereo for various limitations. Still, it's practically identical.
>>
>>337857154
PC.
>>
>>337859892
For me VI drops HARD after the game turns into the World of Ruin. I didn't like the magicite system nearly as much as FFV's job system since it was more limited. The story in VI though of course blows V out of the water.

that stubby arm.

>>337862646

If its the PSN version yes

But if its physical stay the fuck away from it

just watch the FMV's on youtube
>>
>>337862646
But the PS1 version has a horrible translation and no extra huge dungeons.
>>
The Android/iOS version is fun. The only bad thing about it is the misplaced Amano portraits during dialogue.

To be fair, Final Fantasy V always looked like an NES game with a larger color palette, so the original wasn't much of a looker to begin with. Still it's no excuse for this crappy job.
>>
Don't make the mistake I did, don't go into the GBA bonus dungeon until you're near the end of the game.
>>
>>337863003
you should know that those extra dungeons are always meant to provide a higher challenge than the base game.
>>
>>337863751
But it wasn't for the first couple of levels, not until I got too far down to escape. It tricked me!
>>
>>337863003

Honestly as a first time player to most of the Final Fantasy games, the bonus don't interest me in the least. I rather just hop onto the next game.
>>
>>337863965
>the bonus don't interest me in the least.
But it's pretty much the only challenge in the game.
>>
>>337857154
I liked the GBA version quite a bit, but the sound is pure ass.
First time playing; go SNES.

But the music is incredible.

there's a patch for that.
>>337861803

>>337865062
Isn't it just the SNES music?
>>
>>337865210
oh, well then; GBA version is by far the best.
