SQUARE ENIX Ltd. today announced that the next entry in the highly praised FINAL FANTASY® pixel remaster series, FINAL FANTASY V, will come to life with upgraded pixel graphics and audio, as a faithful 2D pixel remaster in Europe on November 10 for Steam® and mobile platforms.
FINAL FANTASY V presents the story of a young man and his Chocobo, who find themselves drawn toward friends that will change their destiny. When the crystals that balance the powers of the world are threatened, the king hastens to the rescue…only to go missing. Well-regarded for its deep and customizable job system, which allows players to freely select jobs for their characters to master, FINAL FANTASY V supports many different playstyles and expands on the iconic Active Time Battle system, which made its debut in FINAL FANTASY IV.
This new version of FINAL FANTASY V will feature many improvements and updates, including:
- Universally updated 2D pixel graphics redrawn for modern hardware, featuring iconic FINAL FANTASY character pixel designs created by the original artist and current collaborator, Kazuko Shibuya
- Beautifully rearranged soundtracks, overseen by the original composer, Nobuo Uematsu
- Improved gameplay, including modernized UI, auto-battle options, and more
- Quality-of-life improvements including supplemental extras like the bestiary, illustration gallery, music player and the ability to save at any time
