Editing Final Fantasy V (section)

==Ports and remakes==
''Final Fantasy V'' was ported by [[Tose (company)|Tose]] to the [[Sony Computer Entertainment|Sony]] [[PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]] and re-released in Japan on March 19, 1998; it was included in the 1999 release of ''[[Final Fantasy Collection]]'', alongside ''IV'' and ''VI''.<ref name=gamespot/><ref name="Collection"/> The PlayStation version boasted two new [[full motion video]] opening and ending sequences and a "memo-save" feature, but the game otherwise remained unchanged.<ref name="gameplay"/><ref name="FMVs"/><ref>{{cite magazine |title=Final Fantasy V |magazine=[[Electronic Gaming Monthly]]|issue=105 |publisher=[[Ziff Davis]] |date=April 1998|page=66}}</ref> Square released 50,000 limited edition copies of the collection which included a ''Final Fantasy''-themed alarm clock.<ref name="Collection"/> In the same year, Square released the PlayStation compilation ''[[Final Fantasy Anthology]]'' in North America, which included ''Final Fantasy V'', as well as the PlayStation version of ''VI''. This would mark the first time the game was published outside Japan, nearly seven years after its initial release.<ref name=playstationmag/> As early as July 1998 there was media coverage<ref name="CGW 168"/> of a port to the PC by [[Square Enix Europe]] (then Eidos Interactive) that was never officially released. Screenshots of the cancelled Eidos version include English dialogue that appears to be based on the North American localization<ref name="CGW 168"/> that would not be released until September 1999. In 2002, Square released this version of the game in Europe and Australia, this time alongside ''Final Fantasy IV''.<ref name="European Anthology"/><ref name="FFAEurope"/> The English version of the game received changes from its original format — most notably, Faris was given a Cornish "pirate" accent and there was a different interpretation of character names, such as the names "Bartz" as opposed to "Butz" and "Gill" as opposed to "Guido", the official romanizations in Japan.<ref name="Translation"/> The port was re-released as part of the ''Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary Ultimate Box'' Japanese package in December 2012.<ref name=ultimatebox/>

Following the release of the [[PlayStation 2]], Sony reported that the new system had compatibility issues with the ''Final Fantasy V'' half of ''Final Fantasy Anthology''.<ref name="Incompatible 2"/> The game experienced a bug where if players attempted to save their games, a graphical error would occur.<ref name="Incompatible 2"/> [[Square (video game company)|Square]] then released a statement that only the look of the save screen was corrupted, and saving was still possible, and if players wished, repeatedly going into and out of the save screen would make a normal screen eventually appear.<ref name="Incompatible 2"/> This incompatibility was fixed for the PAL and [[Greatest Hits]] releases of ''Final Fantasy Anthology''.

''Final Fantasy V'' was ported a second time by Tose to the [[Nintendo]] [[Game Boy Advance]] as ''Final Fantasy V Advance'', which was released on October 12, 2006, in Japan, November 6 in North America, and April 20, 2007, in Europe.<ref name="Final Fantasy V Advance Release Date"/> Similar to the Game Boy Advance re-releases of its predecessors, this version features updated graphics, though the changes are very subtle.<ref name="reviewigns"/> Additional features include four new jobs (Gladiator, Cannoneer, Necromancer, and Oracle), a new dungeon called "The Sealed Temple", and a new optional [[boss (video game)|boss]] from the backstory of ''Final Fantasy V'', Enuo, which was designed by [[Tetsuya Nomura]], the monster designer of the original game.<ref name="reviewigns"/><ref name="rpgfan"/> In addition, the game included a bestiary, a quick save function, music player, and additional equipment in the style of previous Game Boy Advance re-releases.<ref name="Newfeatures"/> Like the [[Video game remake|remakes]] of its predecessors, ''Final Fantasy V Advance'' featured a new English translation.<ref name="reviewigns"/>

The original version of the game was released on the [[Virtual Console]] in Japan in January 2011 for the [[Wii]], in March 2014 for the [[Wii U]] and August 2017 for the [[New 3DS]], and the PlayStation version of the game was re-released on the PlayStation Store as a PSOne Classic in Japan and Europe in April 2011 and in North America on November 22.

In early 2010s, Square Enix considered developing a remake of ''Final Fantasy V'' for Nintendo DS, but was concerned that the technical issues would prevent it from happening.<ref name=andriasang/> The [[Nintendo 3DS]] was also considered for the remake.<ref name="apple"/> An iOS port, which was developed by [[Matrix Software]], was released on March 28, 2013 on the Apple App Store for [[iOS]] devices, with an Android release via the [[Google Play Store]] on September 26.<ref name="pocket"/> The game features new high-resolution graphics with [[sprite (computer graphics)|sprite]]s designed by [[Kazuko Shibuya]], who did the original game's artwork, new gameplay features such as movement in eight directions and auto-battle, and contains the Sealed Temple and super-boss Enuo from the [[Game Boy Advance]] release.<ref name="pocket"/> In September 2015 the remaster was released on PC via [[Steam (service)|Steam]].
