Final Fantasy V, despite being one of the most mechanically solid installments in the series, doesn’t get a ton of love — partly because it got localised very late; partly because the quality of those localisations has varied considerably over time; and partly because in the grand scheme of the franchise as a whole, it’s comparatively bastard hard.
After many, many years of sayingΒ “I should probably beatΒ Final Fantasy VΒ sometime”, I am finally working on that goal — specifically by playing it on my totally normal, pristine and absolutely definitely completely stock PlayStation Classic that my brother rather generously bought me for Christmas. (More on all that another day, I feel.) And I thought Lenna — or “Reina” as she’s called in the version ofΒ Final Fantasy VΒ I’m playing — was deserving of some love.
So let’s give her some love. Our pink-haired princess is one ofΒ Final Fantasy’sΒ most capable heroines, so it’s high time she saw some appreciation, I say!
