Excellent news!
You must have missed the yearly Final Fantasy V 4 Job Fiesta on NeoGAF then. The game is absolutely great, lesser emphasis on the story, more on the job system. It's my favorite out of the SNES ones.

Well shit, anything goes from here on out.
It's the GOAT.
Yup.
It was so weird this wasn't playable on Vita though.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
This has been a huge thorn in my side because of my OCD. I own all the digital versions of FF on PSN, 1 through 9, but it was SO annoying that I couldn't get all of them on one page on the Vita.

Congrulations, AmericaGAF - you made it.

V isn't story driven, doesn't have any aesthetics or style to speak of and has the greatest job system the series has ever seen.
It's definitely worth playing but the GBA version would be preferable to this one.
I can definitively say that it's the Final Fantasy that falls between IV and VI.
Without a doubt.
Having it on PS3 means also having it on Vita!
I want offline FF11 on my Vita =(
It actually didn't for a while.

Not sure about the general consensus (many on GAF go apeshit over FFV, IX, & XII), but my opinion is:
+ Great gameplay/innovative JOB system/Gilgamesh
- Lazy story/forgettable characters
I'm convinced if FFV would have been released as FFIII on the SNES in '93 I probably would have been disappointed with it as a follow-up to FFII/FFIV considering how much I loved that game as a kid.
It's also one of my least favorite Uematsu FF OSTs.

So, the PSOne version... Anything I should know?
Horrendous load times when changing screens or before every battle?
A sub-par translation that gets improved in a later re-release?
Extra FMV scenes or remastered music?

One of the best in the series IMO, the job system is just so much fun.

For PSone games, yes.

No. GBA version has ugly music, cluttered screen and very small FoV.
Like the hat?

Ten bucks for it is pretty crazy, but it's a great game, so it balances out. If I didn't have the gba cartridge, I'd probably pick it up.

yeah, if you don't care to get involved in the story you should have a good time with it.
Yes to all except for "remastered music." If I remember right, the PSX version actually has inferior music compared to the Super Famicom version.
GBA version is the definitive version of the game, even with somewhat downgraded audio.
The loading is the main thing.

The best Final Fantasy. I also disagree that the story is awful or lazy. It's just a lot more straight out fun than other Final Fantasys and way less angsty. I always said, if any Final Fantasy were made into a movie, this one would be the best. It would make a great blockbuster a la the Pirates movies.
Plus, it has Gilgamesh. At his first and best.

Not sure which version you played, but the GBA was a fantastic port all-around.
The PS1 version comparatively had load times, worse sound, and a terrible translation (Faris' pirate speak was really dumb), Oh, and the in-game clock was slower than it should be.

Final Fantasy was released here.
Final Fantasy II and III weren't.
Final Fantasy IV was released here as Final Fantasy II
Final Fantasy V wasn't released here
Final Fantasy VI was released here as Final Fantasy III
They finally started releasing them under the same number when VII was released, and they've all eventually been released.
The script for the GBA version of FFV is hilarious.
EDIT: Does this version have the GBA script or the PS1 script?
WRONG.
The translation and bugs far outweigh the loads which are pretty minimal on the PSX version. It's not like VI or Chrono Trigger.

It's the complete unedited PS1 version, now playable as a PS1 classic on Vita.

That's the great thing about PS1 titles on PSN. What greater is that you can also transfer save back and fort between PS3 and Vita.
