“Disclaimer: I did a 4 Job Fiesta (4JF, Challenge Run) for my first playthrough, so some of these notes may be inaccurate for a normal playthrough. This feels more refined from Final Fantasy 4's ATB system, as well as…”

“First off, i used guides and all the boosts available in-game. When i was a kid, i always thought that FF 4 and 6 was better than 5. But now, i think it's on par with them. The story resonates with me more today…”
“Still one of the best built mechanics in FF games of the Pixel Remaster series, looking forward to playing the Four Job Fiesta with this version of the game when the season comes around!”

“The world feels alot more detailed. Again a massive improvement from the previous titles. The major takeaway is Ex-death turns himself into a splinter.”

“More expensive version than delisted with less content. Maybe the graphics look better to some but I'm not a fan of the pixelly appearance.”

“The game looks great. The soundtrak is awsome. I played this one a long time ago in an antology I bought for ps2 I think. It's still my favorite FF. Just one down side is that in 10 hours of gameplay it crashed 4 times…”

“Wish they'd remake this one, too. One of my faves in the franchise.”
— a player, Steam review · 32 hrs played“Final Fantasy V is basically a job‑hopping simulator where you accidentally save the world while trying on increasingly questionable outfits. The job system is still absurdly fun, the story is charming in that “we swear it gets serious later” way and Galuf remains a legend.…”
