FFV features a lone traveller, a princess in search of her father, an amnesiac old man, and a pirate captain, all of whom are called forth to defend the world from the destruction of the crystals of water, wind, fire and earth.  The biggest feature in this game is the job system-you can customize your character's job through gaining experience in each field.  For instance, I have a monk trained with the Knight's "Cover" technique, and a mage trained equally high in both white and black magic.  While complaints that the story is transparent and childish do not go unfounded, the gameplay itself is entertaining enough to make up for that.
