Get A Job! Final Fantasy V Lands On PC This Month
Final Fantasy V is making the leap to PC, bringing with a number of enhancements it’s picked up along the way. The best part is that you won’t have to wait long to play it.
Since its original release in 1992, Final Fantasy V has been re-released a couple of times. The Game Boy Advance version added visual changes and an additional dungeon. Those remain intact for the upcoming release.
There are also Steam achievements and trading cards, as well as new controls to fit the platform. Square Enix has also tweaked the active-time battle system.
Final Fantasy V will be out on PC on September 24 for $15.99.
Our Take
From a preservation perspective, I’m glad to see Square Enix releasing these games on PC. I wish there were a way to toggle between original release and updated version, though. This version seems to have some of the odd visual changes that were included in the mobile version rather than directly emulating the Game Boy Advance edition.
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.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
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.
Thank you.
