Final Fantasy V Advance is one of those classic JRPGs that somehow flew under the radar compared to its siblings, but it’s got this weirdly addictive job system that makes grinding feel less like a chore and more like tinkering with a fantasy toolbox. You start off with the usual ragtag group—a wandering warrior, a princess, an old man with secrets—but within an hour, you’re mixing and matching jobs like Blue Mage with Monk just to see what ridiculous combos work. (Spoiler: most of them do.)

The GBA version adds some extra dungeons and a smoother translation, though the sprite work still holds up surprisingly well for a game this old. And yeah, you can totally play it on an emulator if you’re feeling nostalgic, but fair warning—the final boss is still a nightmare unless you’ve spent way too much time mastering Freelancer. Worth it, though.
