FINAL FANTASY V

As usual, Square Enix disappoints fans by forcing them to repurchase the same game with “new” sprites. Thanks, but no thanks.

FF6 looks pretty good with the iPhone X update. This only got ugly tan bars on the sides. I would prefer just plain black bars. Don’t know where the idea came to put ugly bars on games but it needs to stop. None of them look good. Including FF6’s

While the core game itself is very excellent and even a bad port can't change that, the changes made to this version put it very low on the list of versions to try. <br/><br/>This doesn't just stop at the graphics, which vary erratically from okay upscales to total garbage that lose all of the charm of the originals, but also extends to gameplay &quot;fixes&quot; that actively remove or negate boss vulnerabilities that were left in deliberately. Between this and the awkwardness of controlling the game I really cannot recommend this version of FFV unless you have no other options. At least you can mod the PC release (which is otherwise identical) to be slightly less ugly.<br/><br/>The only benefit of this version is that two of the weaker classes are slightly buffed due to minor changes to how they work, but it's still not enough to make this a good choice.

Final Fantasy V is my favorite game in the series on iOS for primarily two reasons. The first is that it feels like a polished release. By that, I mean that none of the changes made to convert to touch screen in a different aspect ratio seem lazy. That, and it’s fully supported with cloud saves and the like.<br/><br/>The second reason it’s my favorite is because there’s no counterintuitive process for being the best you can be. If you level all your jobs, you won’t be penalised for doing so with lacklustre stats because you gained levels with this job or that. Too many other games in the series require some variation of a low level challenge till endgame to reach the same ideal outcome. That’s not really my thing.

no description provided LOL<br/><br/>Ok so this game the best the best pancakes the food service the food coffee coffee<br/><br/>But for real good game, but leveling up takes a ton of grinding, a training area would be nice. :)

THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE!!!<br/>I changed my review from 1 to 5 stars since this now fits my iPad Pro screen properly!<br/><br/>This is a fabulous and severely underrated game! The story is a bit lame but the gameplay and job system and bonus dungeon more than make up for it.

FFV is obviously an amazing game but this only applies to this version. The art is so horrendously bad that it renders the game completely unplayable. It looks like it was drawn by a child. I can not fathom why they would smooth over the amazing pixel art of the original. This is the same case with Final fantasy 1,2,5 and 6 on IOS and like an idiot (and a major fan of all of the original FF series) I bought and payed for all of them but the only ones playable are 3, 4, 7, 9 and tactics. I wish I could get money back for the rest as these are by far the worst versions and they aren’t cheap.

They replaced the ugly blue bars with tan bars. Game still doesn’t fit the screen, FF6 is much nicer.
