Can I ask why you saw FFVI as the 'best', then? /bit confused
I guess this isn't a popular view but I think FFVI gets unduly put on a pedestal because it was ahead of its time and led to some great headcanon for a lot of people...but in and of itself, it just isn't as interesting as many of the later games IMO. (I prefer IV to VI, too).
I've never finished V but what you say of it reminds me of how I think of III...it's just four characters and it's shallow and simple but there's a LOT of material there to build on, some of which is more adult than it first looks.
