Final Fantasy V Message Board

YouTuber MrSolidSnake745 is back with another floppy drive music symphony. This time, Final Fantasy V's battle theme is brought to life. Read more...

Square Enix's questionably upgraded iOS version of Final Fantasy 5 has arrived on the App Store in New Zealand, which suggests it'll propagate throughout the world as the day goes on, likely arriving in North America late tonight. Square Enix had previously announced plans to release the port on iOS in March, but only in Japan, so the localized release comes as something of a surprise.

Final Fantasy 5 retails for $19.99 NZD, which is equivalent to $16.69 USD. Yeah, that seems a bit high, but Square Enix could use the money.

This trailer doesn't just show you what Final Fantasy IV looks like on iOS, it shows you the future. Or the past, given your perspective. The end of the trailer teases an iOS version of Final Fantasy V, "and more."

There's no timeline for the release of Final Fantasy V. It will likely be based on the original 2D version as seen on the Super Famicom and PlayStation, as, unlike FF4, there is no polygonal DS remake from which to work.

After brutally taunting us by releasing the job-centric RPG in Japan and announcing it for Europe, an ESRB rating has revealed that Square Enix is bringing Final Fantasy V to the North American PSN. The game is something of an oddity for the series, having never made it to the U.S. in its native SNES format -- it only came stateside as part of the Final Fantasy Anthology, and as the expanded GBA title Final Fantasy V Advance.

Between this, Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger, we've got a lot of Square Enix PSOne Classics to look forward to -- now we just have to wait for the PlayStation Store to fling open its long-shuttered doors.
