__NOTOC__

{{nihongo|'''Final Fantasy V'''|ファイナルファンタジーV|Fainaru Fantajī V}} is a medieval-fantasy [[RPG]] developed and published by [[Square]] (now [[Square Enix]]) in [[1992]] as a part of the ''[[:Category:Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy series]]''. The game first appeared only in Japan on [[Nintendo]]'s [[Super Famicom]] (known internationally as the Super NES). It has been ported with minor differences to [[Sony Computer Entertainment|Sony]]'s [[PlayStation]] and Nintendo's [[Game Boy Advance]]. An original video animation produced in 1994 called ''Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals'' serves as a sequel to the events depicted in the game. It was released for the  [[PlayStation Network]] on April 6, 2011 in Japan. An enhanced port of the game, with new high resolution graphics and touch-based interface, was released for [[iPhone]] and [[iPad]] on March 28, 2013 with [[Android]] released on September 25, 2013.


The game begins as a wanderer named Bartz investigates a fallen meteor. There, he encounters several characters, one of whom reveals the danger facing the four Crystals that control the world's elements. These Crystals act as a seal on Exdeath, an evil sorcerer. Bartz and his party must keep the Crystals from being exploited by Exdeath's influence and prevent his resurgence.
'''Final Fantasy V''' was the fifth game in the series, and the second to be released on the [[Super Nintendo]], however it was not ported to the US or Europe until it was packaged with [[Final Fantasy VI]] as part of [[Final Fantasy Anthology]].


''Final Fantasy V'' has been praised for the freedom of customization that the player has over the characters, achieved through the greatly expanded Job System. Despite being released only in Japan, the Super Famicom version sold more than two million copies. The PlayStation version has earned "Greatest Hits" status, selling more than 350,000 copies.
The story follows Bartz and his friends as they attempt to save the Elemental Crystals and the world from destruction by a force known only as "The Void".

==Differences between versions==
==Differences between versions==
===Translation===
===Translation===
It should be noted that Final Fantasy V has undergone five English versions with three attempts at transcription. First, each version was apparently translated from the Japanese independently of the others; the Super FamiCom  (SNES) version by a group known as RPGe, the PlayStation version by Electronic Arts in partnership with Squaresoft USA, and all subsequent releases by the combined Square Enix. The result is that dialogue scripts, place names, item names, enemy names, and character names differ from version to version. For dialogue sequences, the wording is different but the gist is pretty much the same. In most cases, names are either identical, for example Excalibur (SNES) = Excalibur (PS1) = Excalibur (GBA), or can be chalked up to limitations in Japanese orthography and variations in English spelling, for example Gala Cat (SNES) = Ghilacat (PS1) = Gaelicat (GBA). In some cases though, the translations are very different, for example Garkimasra (SNES) = Harpy (PS1) = Jackanapes (GBA). One confusing difference is that Potion (SNES & GBA) = Tonic (PS1) while Potion (PS1) = Hi-Potion (SNES & GBA).

The mobile versions released for Android and iOS essentially take their cues from the GBA version, but the controls are optimized for the touchscreens of these devices. The in-game dialogue and character names appear to be faithful to the original Japanese script. These versions also add enhanced character renders in dialogue sequences, based on the original artwork of Yoshitaka Amano (e.g. Lenna's avatar has blonde hair in dialogue, though her sprite's hair remains pink). You can also save your recent data to a corresponding cloud account (Apple or Google) and transfer it to other devices on the same platform, a mobile exclusive.

==About this guide==
Most of this guide has been written using the PS1 version as a reference and uses the PS1 version of names, but names for other versions have been included in lists (when known). There have been many videos posted on the internet of people playing different versions of the game, so you can get a feel for what the differences are if you're interested.
