  I love FFV, so much that I speedrun the GBA version, participate yearly in the FFV Four Job Fiesta, and play romhacks of it. This remaster does a lot of things well. The soundtrack is great, and many things are faithful to the original. Visuals are great, translation is great. Some design decisions that are questionable were made, like the starting ATB not being predictable, and not pausing when your turn comes up (unless you go into a menu). The unpredictable ATB means many tactics no longer work in this version. Checkpoints have been added for game-overs which is a nice addition. The reason this gets a thumbs down is the massive amount of bugs, some game breaking. The most major is in the Ramuh forest near Istory, the game will sometimes stop reading inputs in battle unless it's an enemy's turn. This means that if you're in Wait mode and go into a menu, you softlock. Additionally there are some random crashes. Everything else points to an untested game released early. When equipping abilities that give Magic stats (like putting !Black on a different class), your Magic stat goes up, but your max MP does not, until you level up. In W2, Fork Tower isn't on the map, but is on the Bestiary map. Ghido's island is hidden in the minimap, until it is removed, then appears on the minimap. In W3 they added a custom tile for the Antlion valley, which shows as an error tile in the Bestiary map. Almagest isn't reduced by shell. Gold Hairpin sometimes doesn't work (but they're patching this soon?). If you !catch and then !control your caught enemy is glitched out. You also can't see the caught enemy in the menu. Chemist mixes sometimes don't stay on death - like Goliath Tonic sometimes stays, sometimes doesn't. Dragon Kiss, Lifeshield, etc don't stay on death, and don't protect you from White Hole. Bone Mail doesn't prevent Berserk with Blessed Kiss. The Reset spell doesn't reset the Wonder Rod. The Reset spell on Neo Exdeath causes the background to go to the Exdeath fight background, and causes you not to get the Exdeath Bestiary entry. Edit: the next is NOT a bug, recently played the SNES version and confirmed this is faithful to the original - Mastered Knight's Two-Handed doesn't work on a Freelancer These are all bugs that I've personally encountered. There's sure to be many more. Edit: I have seen many more online, with all sorts of bizarre behavior.

  A nice update on a classic game. FF5 has been long overdue a full soundtrack remake, and this attempt is no slouch, with bombastic arranges of similar calibre of the other Pixel Remasters. The various QoL features (minimap, full hidden route display when in one, 8 way movement, quicksave, autobattle, chest/item count) are welcome additions, and the new sprites are nice to look at. For port features, it is rather bare bones (Borderless FS, a single CRT-esque filter). While it has similar font issues as the rest of the FF Pixel Remasters, there are various mods that are easy enough to install that work for FF5PR with seemingly no issues (I recommend Patera Quetzal's FFSilver). The new art style may be hit or miss for some people, and the CRT filter included probably won't change any minds. However, this release seems to only be content scaled to the original Super Famicom release, not including any of the classes and features added with other releases, including the 2015 port. With the delisting of the 2015 port on Steam, this leaves PC players no legal avenue to play a version with these features, unlike FF3 and 4's 3D Remakes still being available for purchase. If you're looking for those features, your only options to [u]buy[/u] it is via Mobile, GBA rereleases, or old 2015 Steam keys on other sites.

  How about porting Dragon Quest 5 over while you're at it Square Enix

  Final Fantasy V is my favourite in the series. This port is a buggy mess. Softlocking in combat has happened more then I can count, with the latest being the fight before getting the savepoint in the final dungeon, meaning a half hour progress and some rare steals just gone. It has an autosave feature, unless you have to close the game due to a softlock. I even had one during a climatic story moment in the second act that, if you know the game, you know which I mean. FF5 is fun. I really enjoy it. But freezing up in combat and in dungeons just sucks.

  I played and platinumed all six Pixel Remasters, and wrote a review for each! Read them all for comparison and context, or skip to the one you came here for!

  Final Fantasy: Balance Lmao

  This is the most barebones of the series, no pesky characters or plot to get in the way. Kill some enemies, level up, next town, new gear, next dungeon. It is also probably the second easiest. Not going to complain! Short, sweet and to the point. Just over 18 hours for all achievements. You start out with your four nameless, silent, little pixelated heroes and choose a class for each of them. I chose warrior, “thief,” white mage, and black mage. I did some research and as far as I can tell “thief” is Japanese for what roughly translates to “broke-ass warrior.” I would recommend new players to opt for two full warriors as to have a party of 4 instead of the 3.5 that I ended up with. Sure, his defense, damage, HP, and set of equipable weapons were all worse than my warrior, but his agility was slightly above average, so I had that working for me! Level-ups come in the traditional way, classes are well defined, spells are bought at shops. Instead of having a global MP pool, each tier of spells has a limited number of casts (recharged by items or at an inn). Music was good, but nothing remarkable. Verdict: 3.5/5 “thieves”

  Final Fantasy II: Learn, Ask, Exit

  This is the weird one where you level-up a skill or weapon by using it repeatedly, Bethesda-style. There are no classes or jobs per-se but each character gets good at what they have been doing. It’s not my preferred way of doing business, but I didn’t mind too much. For their second entry in the series, they actually bothered to have some sort of plot! There seem to be people in the world who have lives, roles in society and care about stuff. You have your war, an evil empire, and a magical tornado, oh my! Your “characters” however are just pixelated bundles of stats who barely speak. That’s fine, just swing those hunks of metal and wood at the things I tell you to swing them at. Uh, Maria… your bow is pointing the wrong way. A pretty easy entry in the series, with a weird difficulty spike at the end, but even that wasn’t too bad. You can quick-save between fights. Buy your spells at town. Cast them with a global MP pool this time. Cost is based on how much you have leveled the spell. (Spells are are trash btw in this one, but a few enemies are highly resistant to physical.) Again, music was par for the course. Verdict: 3.5/5 evil empires

  Final Fantasy III: The Legend Of Bahamur

  Our third entry here seems to be the birthplace of jobs. A job is like a class but a bit more focused and you can swap in out of them at any time. Your job levels up independently of your character level, but character level has much more barring on your effectiveness, so you are encouraged to bounce around jobs from time to time. This was definitely the easiest of the six games, and just barely the shortest, clocking in at about 18 hours for 100% achievements. Auto-battle, Hello. Much like the first, the story is bare-bones and player characters are just stat-sprites. Just bellybuttonless palette-swapped clones who occasionally grunt. The magic system is the same as the first game. It’s probably the weakest entry in the series, unless you're into the whole “brevity” thing… man. I caught some of the music, but to be honest I was listening to the Cyberpunk 2077 score for much of this game. A little weird, I know… Moving on! Verdict: 3/5 floating continents

  Final Fantasy IV: They Took Our Jobs!

  Oh sh*t, here we go! We have characters, they live, they love, they suffer, they grow. Romance, betrayal! Ok, sorry, let’s start over. The third entry takes a big leap forward in terms of characters and story, as in, it has them. You have your main main characters and then some guests that come and go. Jobs are gone, and the characters each have a set, permanent class. The classes are well defined with unique abilities and equipment sets. Spells, for those who can use them, are learned naturally through leveling. This is probably the second best game in the series. Challenge and length are moderate. The story, characters, and destinations are all well above average. Some extremely unforgiving RNG from the original has been toned down significantly for those of you interested in treasure-hunting all the treasures huntable. The music takes a big step up at this point in the series. The moon music is strange yet awesome. The “giant” music is epic and gorgeous. Could it be that this is just the nostalgia factor due to playing this game as a wonder-filled, wide-eyed child? Nope! Verdict: 4.5/5 spoony bards

  Final Fantasy V: They Gave Us Back Our Jobs!

  Jobs: check Acceptably life-like characters: check High concentrations of chocobo: check Verdict: Not yet? Ok. This is the hardest game in the series, and second longest. We’ve jumped up to almost 57 hours for all achievements! *sigh* What am I doing with my life? Annoying status effects abound in the later dungeons (where are those damned ribbons?), and optional superbosses make their first appearance! Think Ruby and Emerald in FF7. As mentioned above, jobs are back. And how. There’s a ton of them, and you’re going to master every bloody one if you want that final achievement. Yes, even the geomancer! Especially the geomancer!! One really great thing is that you can master certain abilities or passives unique to one job and then “equip” it on another job (one at a time only). Buy your spells at the local grocer. Standard MP pool is present. If you enjoy a grind and a challenge, this is the one for you. The music quality remains high, especially on a certain larger-than-normal bridge, and when fighting one not-so-mysterious swordsman. \m/ Verdict: 4/5 cartoonish, one-dimensional villains

  Final Fantasy VI: We AAA Now Dawg!

  We made it. Here we are at what is definitely the crown jewel of the Pixel Remasters. Maybe even the best RPG of its era? I would still argue for Chrono Trigger, but elder millennials and gen-xers of good faith can disagree. Where to start? We have a massive cast of memorable characters (including the best villain of all time), romance, comedy, tragedy, and the best spectacle and story-telling in the series. The locations, the towns, dungeons, forests, and factories really come to life through excellent art direction and detail. And the music is stellar! “But this isn’t the end of the review...” Don’t care! Note: Some reviews mention a strange rainy town filled with thieves and liars. Never heard of it. Not in this game. My only gripe with VI is the class system. There really isn’t much of one. Every character has a unique ability, but equipment sets have huge overlap, and characters are frequently rotating in and out of the party. So you never feel like you have clear defined combat roles. Really, it’s nitpicking though. This is the longest of the games, though it ends up feeling appropriate. Difficulty is middling. Now, I know you're dying for me to tell you how magic works in VI. Well, dear reader, for that you will have to subject yourself to a fairly minor spoiler. Later in the game anyone can access any spell. You find espers to equip throughout the game, each one of which teaches a handful of spells. After a learning period, you can rotate that esper to a different party member. Well, that’s it! The music is amazing. The overworld theme, the blonde’s theme, the villains theme. And the town that doesn’t exist has terrible music! Verdict: 5/5 16-bit laughs, 5/5 opera-loving octopi, 5/5 B-day suits. I can’t decide!

  Alright, alright, alright, sit tight everyone. I never write reviews, but I had to write this one. Where do I start man? My love for the Final Fantasy franchise is a bottomless pit. With the introduction of the pixel remastered series, I've thoroughly enjoyed the releases. Albeit, I've only beaten 3 and 4 as I wasn't interested enough to the play the first two. Those two remasters were phenomenal, and I enjoyed my playthroughs. That being said, I was doing extremely well in FF5, and progress was great! I've gotten to the point where both worlds merge and I decided to pick a fight with Bahamut. Well, somewhere in this fight it generated a bug and it perma-confused my Lenna (No status indicated in battle that she is), and keeps her health at 0, but still active in battle. She's also in a perma-berserk status, so I can not choose commands upon my will. I've tried sleeping in the inns and restarting the game, but it does not resolve the issue. If I had a prior save point I would load it all up there, but I do not. I typically save 4 different slots and over them, but would not have expected a bug such as this. It has made the game virtually unplayable at this point, so I have decided not to continue. After putting 22 hours into the game and have this come up, it's nothing short of disappointing to see happen. I just don't want to invest the time to start all over again as I don't have a lot of it. I have to ask if anyone else has had this issue, and I hope no one else is going through it. Overall, my love for the game is there. It plays as your standard turned-base FF with all the nostalgic characters and lore. Had it not been for this one bug, I would've had a great time. I'm so sad.

  I'm now 5/6 of the Pixel Remasters completed and the more of them I finish, the deeper I fall in love with the full package. FF5's main feature is a vastly improved job system that corrects the gaps that were present in FF3. Exploring and mastering the different jobs is less tedious and the equipment distribution, considering all the options, is a marked improvement from 3 to 5. These improvements do a great job to encourage trying out different combinations throughout the game. It also features a relatively strong story that is more evenly paced compared to FF4 and does a good job of sprinkling comedic elements without detracting from the experience. It has a slightly lighter tone compared to FF4, but does not fall short in the storytelling department. I personally laughed and cried along with Bartz and co. while exploring the twists and turns this title had to offer. If I had to describe this title, I'd call it "Just gorgeous!". https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2923211777 While this version does not have the extra content as the old version that's currently no longer being sold on Steam, this PR does balance it out by streamlining a lot of good features that are present across 1-6PR. I loved all 40h I sunk into this game, and it definitely ranks high among my FF completions!

  got about halfway through the game and started getting a constant bug where the cursor would stop working and get stuck in combat game is unplayable with this bug
