Final Fantasy V

If you’d rather stick with a traditional turn-based RPG, or you don’t necessarily want to play a game on your phone, then you may prefer Final Fantasy V to Final Fantasy Tactics. Final Fantasy V is notable for its iteration of the series’ “Job” system, which functions similarly to the Archetype system in Metaphor. Additionally, the retro simplicity of Final Fantasy V might be a good break from the time management and elaborate dungeon crawling of Atlus RPGs. For reference, Final Fantasy V should take around 30 hours to complete, which is a far cry from the 60-70 hour time frames given for completing Metaphor

Thanks to the recent release of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters, Final Fantasy V is available on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and mobile devices. Alternatively, Metaphor fans may prefer the world of Final Fantasy XII, which similarly features customizable characters and a high fantasy world.
