__NOTOC__
'''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]].
{{nihongo|'''Final Fantasy V'''|ファイナルファンタジーV|Fainaru Fantajī Faibu}} 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'' 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".
