Final Fantasy V is about a boy and his chocobo heading out to save the world after some crystals are knocked out of alignment. It was previously available on PC, but only via a mobile port that had algorithmically up-ressed sprites. This new version maintains the original pixellated look while running on modern monitors.

The ports have been mostly well received so far, the exception being the fonts, andfans have already set about fixing those.

You can grabFFV from Steamfor £10.39/€14.39 with a 20% launch discount. It’s also available aspart of an FFI-VI bundle, with VI “coming soon”.
