Final Fantasy V Remake confirmed for Smartphone

[Wolf Kanno]

A few years ago Square-Enix teased a remake of Final Fantasy V. They have no just released the first screenshots of the this game...

The game is apparently going to be a graphical remake of FFV Advance but using a graphical style closer to Final Fantasy Dimensions. Not much else has been released concerning any other new content but the GBA port of FFV did introduce four new job classes and a new super dungeon. The game still uses redrawn Amano character portraits to show who is talking in dialogue sequence.

The game is slated for the end of March for iOS and Android in the summer. Eyeson will have all of your coverage for this remake of a timeless class. Until then, enjoy one last screenshot!

I think that a 3DS remake would of been so much better and worth buying for than a new character sprite that looks like it came straight out of RPG Maker XV.

Sadly, even it has better sprite work, it will still look like an RPG maker game.

I despise this. Not because I don't want an FFV remake, it means that there will inevitably be an FFVI remake.

Bartz still looks like a woman.. Why Amano, why?

[Mirage]

Because why not?

I'll probably get this.

I actually really enjoy the text system they seem to have implemented. Haters gonna hate I suppose

Now where's my FFIX International 3D HD remake with extra content, and expansion upon Vivi, Freya, and Amarant's stories?

[Mirage]

Won't happen cause prerendered backgrounds look terrible when upscaled and remaking them all would take a smurfton of work.

[VeloZer0]

I'm glad that SE is committed to this sprite art style that I hate so much.

Why not in 3D like FF3 and FF4? IMO those were the best products SE has made in a decade.

[Elpizo]

Where's my 3D remake?!

[Mirage]

FF3 and 4 looked like trout in 3D.

[Elpizo]

Only because the DS wasn't a very powerful 3D console. 3DS would look far better. In any case, it would be better than another slightly-updated-sprites-port that won't even have the advantage of including an interlude and sequel in the package like FF IV: TCC. If that were the case, sure, I'd be more lenient. This, though? Doesn't look all that great so far. In fact, I'd say those sprites look worse than the original. They aren't even giving us the high-res sprites from the PSP ports, the hell?!

[Fynn]

I actually prefer these sprites to the FFIV PSP ones. They look a lot like the classic ones, just HD. Also, judging by Dimensions, these will look much better on retina.

[Mirage]

Only if the resolution of the sprites is increased. Retina won't magically create image data out of nothing.
