This thread is a bit old, but hey.

I think V deserves a remake, and I also think that it is hated on unjustifiably. The story lacked, admittedly, but IV's was horribly convoluted and difficult to follow. No sense comparing it to VI as that always out-performs even contemporary games. However, Galuf dying was a pretty powerful moment for this era.

The gameplay is the feature of this game that makes it so damn fantastic. The customisation was incredible. X-2 nerfed the job system. They had already developed the perfect system many moons beforehand. I just hope they leave it intact. The only change I would seek would be greater experience and job point rewards from enemies, as Pete mentioned.
