• Final Fantasy V coming to Steam September 24th!


    The beloved wacky installment in the SNES trilogy is making its way to PCs in less than two weeks via Steam! Freshly announced by Square Enix, the Steam version of FFV is a port of the iOS version released earlier, meaning it will have all the extra features added in the GBA release (more jobs, an extra dungeon), as well as enhanced graphics, with sprites redrawn by Kazuko Shibuya - series veteran responsible for creating character sprites throughout the whole series.

    On top of that, the game is supposed to have very low system requirements, which means it will be accessible to more players. Furthermore, developers promise FFV will be optimized for peak PC performance.

      When I was real drunk one time I thought of this weird stand up bit where revamped meant that a vampire was replying to an email.

      Uh..anyway, looks pretty good. I probably won't get it.

      So, just like with FFIV, it's essentially the iOS version? Cool

      Sigh...

      I don't think I have liked the sprites in a SE remake since FF:Origins.

      I don't get why people hate them. They're done by Kazuko Shibuya - she's responsible for all the original sprites. And I think the new ones are very much done in that spirit.

      It seems cool. However im wondering if its worth money when you can get other versions for free (albeit somewhat illegaly)

      Yes, yes and oh yes ! So going to get this ! I'm okay with it being the IOS version, though the GBA version will always be my personal fave, though the IOS version is not awful in any means. ( unlike the IOS version of Final Fantasy VI whereabouts everybody looks so tacky )

      You can use that argument about everything ever.

      Besides, it's not like steam games aren't possible to pirate.

      And it's not somewhat illegal. It is illegal.

      I thought emulation wasnt illegal if you own the proper game/console.
      And pirating? Well yeah thats illegal. But i was meaning emulation sorry i shouldve said

      I just didn't like the colours and shading of most of the characters ? They just felt too bright and tacky. With FFV everything just feels more clear and solid and the colours match the environment more smoothly.

      It is, unless you dump the ROM from the cartridge yourself. Emulation isn't illegal in most countries. Acquiring the game usually is.

      Why would you make the "for free" argument at all when you have a legal copy of the game? Did you get it as a gift?
