{{Main|Characters of Final Fantasy V}}
''Final Fantasy V'' features five [[player character]]s, though only up to four are playable at any given time:
* Bartz Klauser is a traveling adventurer who becomes involved in the story when he investigates the site of a meteorite strike. During the story, he learns that his father Dorgann was a Warrior of Dawn.
* Lenna Charlotte Tycoon is a princess of Tycoon who follows her father to investigate the Wind Shrine's Crystal.
* Galuf Doe is a mysterious old man whom Bartz and Lenna discover unconscious near the meteorite. He later remembers his history as a Warrior of Dawn and King of Bal. He dies fighting Exdeath.

===Story===
King Tycoon departs to investigate the weakening of the Wind Crystal at the Wind Shrine. Bartz witnesses a [[meteoritemeteor]] plunge to the planet's surface. He encounters Lenna, King Tycoon's daughter; Galuf, an [[amnesia]]c old man; and Faris, a pirate captain. They make their way to the Wind Shrine pursuing Lenna's father. There the shards of the shattered crystal grant them new powers. An image of King Tycoon appears, saying the crystals have chosen the four adventurers as their protectors.<ref name="Tycoon"/>
 
The party discovers the crystals make their planet habitable and also seal away Exdeath, an evil sorcerer.<ref name="Crystals"/> The party attempts to save the crystals of Water, Fire, and Earth. Each time, they fail but gain new powers from the crystals' shards. Having been freed, Exdeath defeats the party and returns to his homeworld. King Tycoon, who was controlled by Exdeath to destroy the last crystal, sacrifices himself to save the others.
Line 123:
''Final Fantasy V'' was [[game director|directed]] by ''Final Fantasy'' series creator [[Hironobu Sakaguchi]] who, prior to the release of ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]'', called it his favorite ''Final Fantasy'' game.<ref name="credits" /><ref name="review1up"/> The character, image, and title logo designs were created by series illustrator and image designer [[Yoshitaka Amano]], while the actual character sprites were designed by [[Kazuko Shibuya]].<ref name=illustrator/> The monsters were designed by [[Tetsuya Nomura]].<ref name="credits"/><ref name=monster/> Amano has stated that he counts his depictions of both Faris from ''Final Fantasy V'' and [[Terra Branford (Final Fantasy)|Terra]] from ''VI'' among his favorite ''Final Fantasy'' designs.<ref name="Favorites"/> The writing of the scenario text was a collaborative effort between Sakaguchi and [[Yoshinori Kitase]].<ref name="1upkitase"/> Sakaguchi conceived the plot and was in charge of it, while Kitase tried to include more humor to lighten up the relatively serious story.<ref name="1upkitase"/><ref name=story/> The Job System was designed by [[Hiroyuki Ito]], who worked on the game as a battle planner alongside [[Akihiko Matsui]].<ref name="judgeito"/><ref name="credits"/><ref name=interview/> [[Mode 7]] effects were used in the airship sequences, which moving in the airship would cause the planet to rotate on its axis. In total, Square employed a team of 45 people to create the game, and 16 Mbits of space were used to accommodate the sprites, animations, and detailed background. According to ''[[GamePro]]'' in a May 1993 issue, the Japanese authorities had asked Square not to release the game during a school day because schoolchildren would skip class to wait in line for the game.<ref name="GamePro"/>
 
The official English translation of ''Final Fantasy V'' began shortly after the release of the Japanese version. The game was to be titled "''Final Fantasy III''" in North America, but the project fell through.<ref name="FFVtry"/> Square then announced that due to its differing tone and much higher difficulty from the rest of the series, they would be releasing it in North America as a standalone game with a yet-to-be-determined title, rather than part of the ''Final Fantasy'' series.<ref>{{cite magazine|title=An RPG Dilemma|magazine=[[Electronic Gaming Monthly]]|issue=59|publisher=EGM Media, LLC|date=June 1994|page=14}}</ref> This plan was quickly aborted. Translator [[Ted Woolsey]] explained in a 1994 interview, "[''Final Fantasy V'' is] just not accessible enough to the average gamer".<ref name="Ted Woolsey"/> Rumors circulated that a second attempt at localization would be made and that the game would be titled ''Final Fantasy Extreme'', but this attempt was also canceled. A third attempt was made to port the game to [[Windows]]-based personal computers for North American release by developer Top Dog Software, but this was canceled.<ref name="FFVtry"/> Another attempt to port the game to Windows for North America was "handled by [[Eidos Interactive]]" circa 1998, but it is unclear whether this is the same version Top Dog Software was working on or an actual fourth attempt.<ref name=hip/> The continual canceling of the localization angered fans and led to ''Final Fantasy V'' becoming one of the first games to receive a complete [[Fan translation of video games|fan translation]].<ref name="FFVtry"/>
 
===Music===
{{main|Music of Final Fantasy V}}
The game's soundtrack was composed by [[Nobuo Uematsu]] and consists of 56 tracks.<ref name=tracks/> A two-[[Compactcompact Discdisc|disc]] album was released alongside the game totaling 67 tracks.<ref name="RPGFOSV"/> Uematsu had originally calculated that the game would require more than 100 pieces of music, but he managed to reduce the number to 56.<ref name="100songs"/> The song "Dear Friends" would become the title piece in the 2004 concert tour ''[[Final Fantasy concerts#Dear Friends - Music from Final Fantasy|Dear Friends -Music from Final Fantasy-]]'', chosen to reflect Uematsu's appreciation for his music's worldwide fan support.<ref name="Concert"/> The song "Clash on the Big Bridge" would later be arranged by [[Hitoshi Sakimoto]] for the ''[[Music of Final Fantasy XII#Soundtrack|Final Fantasy XII Original Soundtrack]]'' in 2006.<ref name="Bridge"/>
 
The album ''Final Fantasy V: 5+1'' was released in 1992 and contained five songs from the original score as well as a previously unreleased Super Famicom version of "Matoya's Cave" from the original 1987 ''[[Final Fantasy (video game)|Final Fantasy]]'' for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]].<ref name=ffmusic/> A collection of arranged tracks, ''[[Final Fantasy V Dear Friends]]''; a 13-track disc, ''Piano Collections Final Fantasy V''; and a short series of [[remix]]es, ''Final Fantasy V: Mambo de Chocobo'', were all released in 1993.<ref name=dechocobo/> Finally, many of the original songs were included on the North American ''[[Final Fantasy Anthology Soundtrack]]'', together with the two-game compilation.<ref name=rpgfantrack/>
 
==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 IteractiveInteractive) 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''.

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 to developdeveloping a remake of ''Final Fantasy V'' for Nintendo DS, but was concerned that the technical issues would prevent it tofrom happenhappening.<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]].
