Final Fantasy V Hits Android Today
After hitting iOS earlier this year, the fifth installment of Square Enix's Final Fantasy series is available on Android devices.
Sporting revamped visuals over the original 16-bit title, Final Fantasy V is notable in the series for its entertaining job system. Your party members level up in various classes – like dragoon, black mage, and monk – but you must switch them frequently in order to optimize your characters' development. Final Fantasy V didn't originally release in North America, though it was brought over in 1999 in an anthology for PlayStation.
You can download the game now right here through Google Play for $16.
Our Take
While I have nothing against Final Fantasy V, Square Enix settled on a price tag that seems pretty steep – which seems to be a trend for the company in the mobile arena. You can get the PlayStation FF Anthology version for $10 on the PlayStation Store, which is a more economical way to experience this fun game.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
