Excellent high quality game! The music is great and the online play is very smooth and fast with the Skip All option turned on. Hoping for more expansions to be added soon!

A very beautiful game with lovely stories and characters! The music was charming and the turn-based battle system is fun and engaging.

Final Fantasy V PC is an excellent game with some minor issues.

At first, I thought I was going to hate the newer character sprites, but they were fine and now I like them better than the originals.

The characters are all fun and the story is engaging.

The job system is nice and detailed. However, some select job preparation is needed for certain battles. And it was an annoyance to have the Sprint and Flee commands tied to one particular job.

Also, there is an annoying bug with cursor memory in the battle menu.

Still, this is a well done game and port, a classic with some great tunes too.

The translation and script are great. The game has some charming easter eggs too.

Yes, there were too many moving crate puzzles in this game. About 5 too many. Still, it was nice to enjoy some new game mechanics that weren't present in the first two Broken Sword games. I missed the extra superfluous characters that Broken Sword 1 and 2 had though. This game had more emphasis on environment design, but it needed more work in certain city scenes. Overall, an enjoyable game if you can tolerate all the crates.

I loved how the dialog options were done in this game. You weren't allowed to repeatedly interact with NPCs and ask them the same questions over and over and that felt a lot more natural and realistic. The game script was very good and the locations were well done and varied with very little backtracking allowed so you didn't need to uselessly backtrack around too much.

Good story and voice acting. I think the original version is slightly better though because some of the new puzzles in the Director's Cut were annoying. But the Director's Cut also has better scene to scene transitions, unless you like long slow walks, which is more realistic, but kind of a drag.

I liked the time powers and the movie clips.
I hated the repetitive combat sequences and numerous amounts of emails.

I only played a little bit of the game so far but I like the battle system. It reminds me a bit of Dynasty Warriors (mouse button mashing) mixed with Guild Wars 2 (allies reviving you when you go down in the middle of combat).

I skipped over some of the extra NPCs in the first tavern but so far not bad. The graphics could be a little better but are alright. The story on the other hand was kind of a joke ... o yes, it's a side-story to Fellowship of the Ring lol.

The game crashes a lot in Windows 10 in Full Screen mode. Once I switched to Windowed mode, I haven't seen any crashes yet. Nice story and fun game.

More colorful and magical version of Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. I'm not sure why the game isn't as popular. It's probably because the servers are pretty dead. Tough market these days! Maybe an additional single-player or story mode would have kept more players interested in the game because the battle mechanics are still great as in Chivalry: Medieval Warfare.
