Final Fantasy V never got an official Super NES release outside Japan, and its job system went largely unplayed in the West until later ports. This 2006 Game Boy Advance version follows Bartz, Lenna, Galuf and Faris as the four elemental crystals shatter, and it remains the most flexible take on job classes in the early series.
Every character can switch between jobs such as Knight, Black Mage, Thief or Blue Mage, earning ability points that unlock skills which then carry over to other jobs, so a Knight can keep White Magic or a Monk can keep a Thief's speed. The GBA release adds four new jobs, Gladiator, Cannoneer, Oracle and Necromancer, plus a new post-game dungeon, the Sealed Temple, along with a bestiary, music player and a fresh translation that replaced the awkward wording of the earlier PlayStation port.
Tips for Final Fantasy V Advance
Master jobs before the endgame: Freelancers inherit the native strengths of every mastered job, and Mimes get three free ability slots.
Blue Mages learn monster spells by being hit with them, so bring one along when fighting new enemies.
