This is a tale of a passing of the torch. And this is a tale of the fans taking matters into their own hands! This is Final Fantasy V! My name’s Zeo, and I’ll be your lore keeper!

It’s no secret that Final Fantasy 4 revolutionized the RPG genre. Final Fantasy 5 on the other hand, was perhaps more about “evolution” than “revolution”.
