Release Date: April 6, 2011
Digital reissue of the fifth installment of the popular jRPG series. In the game, we lead a 4-person team of heroes to protect the power crystals from being destroyed by the evil sorcerer Exdeath, who wants to gain power over the world with their help. The biggest novelty in the game is the developed system of works (22 in total), which allows you to develop heroes with different combinations of skills.
Final Fantasy V is the fifth installment of the popular jRPG series, launched in 1987 by Square. Like the previous parts of the series, the title was originally published on consoles from the Nintendo family (the SNES edition was released in 1992). Six years after its release, the game was converted to Sony PlayStation and released in the USA and Japan as part of Final Fantasy Anthology.
Final Fantasy V takes place in three fantastical lands that have grown in prosperity over the years thanks to the power of four magical crystals: wind, water, fire and earth. The story begins when a meteorite of unknown origin falls near King Tycoon's castle and the monarch goes to the nearby Wuther Temple to see if the crystal there has been damaged. While following her father's footsteps, Princess Lenna is attacked and saved from oppression by the main character - Bartz Kla. During the journey, the characters also meet a man named Galuf, who is affected by amnesia, and a captain of pirates, Faris, who is hiding a secret. In this way, the fates of four seemingly unrelated characters come together, and the task of the newly formed Warriors of Light is to stop the evil sorcerer Exdeath from destroying the crystals with which he wants to take control of the world.
In of mechanics, Final Fantasy V is a typical Japanese RPG, in which we control a four-person team, traverse the world and fight encountered opponents in a turn-based system. One of the biggest novelties in the game is the development of the job system (or simply classes), known from the first and third installments of the series. At the beginning of the game, we only have access to a few of them, but as the game progresses the number grows to 22. Each of them is developed separately, allowing players to create characters with different skill combinations. The key to success in the game is skillful management of classes throughout the game.
In of graphics, the production is on a similar level as its predecessor and thanks to its debut on much more efficient hardware platforms it looks much better than the original trilogy released on NES console. Noteworthy is also the much greater interaction between the characters (than, e.g. in Final Fantasy IV) and the soundtrack by Nobuo Uematsu.

Game Ratings for Final Fantasy V Video Game.
Cubed3: 4 / 10 by Aria DiMezzo
In regard to story and gameplay, Final Fantasy V is as great as it has ever been, but dealing with a supremely suboptimal port in order to enjoy the game requires extreme dedication to the series or a lack of a smartphone or tablet. Players who can't even borrow a mobile device for long enough to play Final Fantasy V are certainly encouraged to give this port a look, because it's not that Final Fantasy V is a bad game. This is a bad version of the game. Severe flaws resulting from a gross lack of optimisation severely hinder the experience; almost nothing was modified for the PC port. Although the mobile version is marginally more expensive, players are advised to play Final Fantasy V on the system for which it was optimised, rather than the system for which it was bastardised.

It all comes down to this: don't deny yourself Final Fantasy V.
