Final Fantasy 5 Pixel Remaster Walkthrough

Originally released in 1992 on the Super Famicom, Final Fantasy 5 took the Job system from FF3 and rebuilt it into a 22-job freeform character builder where every party member can learn abilities from one job and carry them into the next. Four travellers set out to protect the elemental crystals from the rogue knight Exdeath, with the worlds of Bartz and Galuf drawn together along the way. The Pixel Remaster (2021) is the first time the original 2D version has been widely available outside Japan, with rebuilt pixel art, quality-of-life fixes, and Nobuo Uematsu’s re-arranged soundtrack.
