Final Fantasy V has become the next Square Enix RPG to grace Steam, additionally receiving brand new designs for its many characters courtesy of Kazuko Shibuya and potentially earning scorn from retro RPG purists who more preferred the previous pixel art-style.
The announcement trailer:
The title will take after its GBA port and feature not only a new dungeon but an optional boss and a slew of new jobs for eager RPG enthusiasts to try out.
Final Fantasy V will launch for PC on September 24th.
Ugh, those sprites…
I love it, they refused to really update the graphics to 3d for the modern crowd but they did leave the pixel art for nostalgia fanatics, the end result is a crappy looking rpg maker look, genius!
For 15usd they have to be joking
As it is this is humble bundle material, if it pops up there with the android version included along with enough stuff to justify the price tier then… MAYBE
*they did not leave the pixel art for nostalgia fanatics
It’s on PC. They could have at least made it look a little better. I’m not talking about a 3d engine, mind you. It looks like, at best, a PS2 game.
It’s actually a port of the mobile game (which is a graphically enhanced port of the GBA game).
So yeah.
I’d say really optimized SNES or lazy N64.
it may look shitty asf but its a very good game. it spans 3 different world maps and several jobs to lvl up. i played it when it was released as “FF Anthology” back in the PSX days.
Bean Counter 1: Hey, remember that one Final Fantasy game we cocked up and sold for the cost a good game?
Bean Counter 2: You mean that Final Fantasy VI turd?
Bean Counter 1: That’s the one! I’m thinking that we should do that again, but with Final Fantasy V. It has a more rabid fan base and the hipsters will flock to it with their overpriced iPhone GSXQVC6+Mega. We’ll be rich!
Bean Counter 2: You just made me rock hard. I’ll go get RPGMaker, you go get your 5 year old out of pre-school. We’ll have him do the sprites again and we can use that script generating website to make the game.
Bean Counter 1: I love you Tom.
Bean Counter 2: I know… I know…
