I've been playing old RPGs the past few months, and a lot of them are painful. I've realized that most of them didn't really have much content, but they forced you to grind levels between bosses to make it last longer.

That being said, last weekend I started Final Fantasy V.

This is what a JRPG should feel like! It's hard to explain, but it flows so well. I've had some challenging encounters, but changing my strategy usually gets me through it in two or three attempts.

I think I'm going to get further in this one than I have with most others. (I have WAY too many ROMs backlogged to waste time on games that I am not excited to boot up)
