===Critical response===
The original Super Famicom version received a positive critical reception upon release, with ''[[Famitsu]]''{{'}}s four reviewers scoring it 34 out of 40,<ref name="FamiSFC"/> and the first [[GameFan#Golden Megawards|''GameFan'' Golden Megawards]] awarding it for [[List of Game of the Year awards|Best Import Game]] and [[Video game music|Best Music (Import Game)]] of 1992.<ref name="GameFan">''GameFan'', volume 1, issue 3 (January 1993), pages 70-71</ref> Retrospectively, [[1UP.com|1UP]]'s staff wrote that, while the game's story was very weak, the gameplay was "another story", heavily praising the job system and the feature to combine abilities from different job classes, and gave it a score of B−.<ref name="review1up"/> [[Allgame]]'s retrospective review shared similar sentiments regarding the storyline and job system, adding praise for the addition of hidden events and items for players to search for, giving the game a score of 3.5 out of 5.<ref name="allgame"/> RPGamer gave it a mixed retrospective review, stating that the game improved on the visual presentation, menu system, and overall field navigation of ''Final Fantasy IV'', but the "maddeningly high encounter rate", "average sound selection", and "washed out" color palette hurt the game's presentation, giving it a score of 5/10.<ref name="RPGamer Review"/>

Critics gave generally positive to mixed reviews for the ''Anthology'' version of the game. [[GameSpot]] praised the job system for being "one of the series' most in-depth and detailed game systems", but criticized the game for having "paper-thin characters" and a clichéd plot, augmented by a lack of character development during the game's fetch quests. They went further to say that the translation was poor and overshadowed by the two previous fan efforts.<ref name="GameSpot Review"/> [[IGN]] called ''Final Fantasy V''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s graphics "dated" but cited "incredibly engrossing" job system as the game's highlight and praised its music.<ref name="IGN Review"/> ''Electronic Gaming Monthly'' repeated the sentiments towards the job system, adding that while the game suffered from long [[Load (computing)|load times]] periodically, ''Final Fantasy V'' was the main reason to buy the collection.<ref name=egm/>

In comparison, reviews of the Game Boy Advance re-release of the game were mostly positive. GameSpot's review regarded the game more favorably than its PlayStation counterpart, calling it "better than ever" and citing the strong localization of the script and extensive special features. They further stated that while the game's characters seemed unlikable and that the plot felt "predictable or trite", they felt the game was still more sophisticated than most games at the time, giving the game a score of 8.5.<ref name="review1Gspot"/> ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' wrote that "while playing ''Final Fantasy V'' is a chore on the PlayStation, it's good fun on the GBA because of the vastly improved translation and new features", further calling it the "definitive" version of one of the series' best titles.<ref name=nintendo/> IGN gave the game a score of 8.5, calling it a "must-own" for the portable system and describing it further as always an "entertaining and surprisingly deep role-playing game".<ref name=advance/> 1UP.com said the port of the game from the Super Famicom to the Game Boy Advance was "rock solid", and added that while the game's story started off at a slow pace, it gradually improved. The review further praised the addition of features and removal of questionable ones that had been added to the ''Anthology'' version of the game.<ref name="gba-1up-r"/> [[GameDaily]] gave the game a score of 7/10, noting that while enjoyable, the high encounter rate, the necessity to constantly engage in battle to gain abilities through the job system, and other aspects made the game feel repetitive at times.<ref name="gamedaily"/>
