SNES Longplay [281] Final Fantasy V (part 1 of 7)
Played by: Tarosan
Final Fantasy V is a medieval-fantasy role-playing video game developed and published by Square (now Square Enix) in 1992 as a part of the Final Fantasy series. The game first appeared only in Japan on Nintendo’s Super Famicom (known internationally as the Super Nintendo Entertainment System).
It has been ported with minor differences to Sony’s PlayStation and Nintendo’s Game Boy Advance. An original video animation produced in 1994 called Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals serves as a sequel to the events depicted in the game. It was released for the PlayStation Network on April 6, 2011 in Japan.
The game begins as a wanderer named Bartz (Butz) investigates a fallen meteor. There, he encounters several characters, one of whom reveals the danger facing the four Crystals that control the world’s elements. These Crystals act as a seal on Exdeath, an evil sorcerer. Bartz and his party must keep the Crystals from being exploited by Exdeath’s influence and prevent his resurgence.
Final Fantasy V has been praised for the freedom of customization that the player has over the characters, achieved through the greatly expanded Job System. Despite the lack of an early release in territories other than Japan, the Super Famicom version sold more than two million copies. The PlayStation version has earned Greatest Hits” status, selling more than 350,000 copies.
MY COMMENT: Between Final Fantasy 4 and Final Fantasy 6, two very successful and well known entries in the series that make up the Super Nintendo trilogy of genre defining JRPG’s lies this game… whilst it is not known plotwise as one of the best, however the characters are memorable especially the main character Butz,
Gilgamesh the series most popular mid boss especially for his theme and Exdeath… an evil tree no literally he is a evil tree with the most annoying final boss form since Cloud of Darkness especially with Grand Cross… god-damn.
Now originally this was a mess uploaded as I originally had an XP computer which didn’t have room for this file… but now I present all of you with a director’s cut that includes all parts recorded, not one area has been skipped and I’ve collected everything I could.
I will offer the excuse of levelling up off-screen at certain moments and I attempted to follow the same methods that Parazzing did for Final Fantasy IV.
14:40 FF always had great cave music. This one on FF5 is awesome.
Though FF7 is very good, IMHO FF 5 and FF9 are the best parts of the series!
Texts go too fast… otherwise great game, not my favorite FF but still a great game!!!
Would have been nice if Japan wasn't so stingy back in the day and released all the FF games in America on NES/SNES.
Came here for nostalgia
영어 싫어요…..
The very beginning of the game… I thought it was a man on a wheelchair in a meadow….
I feel as if Final Fantasy music peaked at Final Fantasy 3 on famicom
Hey guys give a big like for our buddy Butz 🙂
the final fantasy 5 is completely unforgettable and the 4 with Cecil and the wonderful rydia is a masterpiece, I thought the cecil FF was the 5 because of the lower quality of the 4
faris is my waifu
You are skipping the text too fast.
amazing soundtrack
This translation is so much more better done than the PS1 Version (I can read some Japanese by the way ;P) This version is the closest translation so far that I have seen, but it isn't a legal translation ;-; I should learn more Japanese now……
Something wrong with this game. It's literally the only one in the series where I said to myself "ugh…white people".
preemptive attack
what version is this ? the very first fight, was much longer for me
When something smells, it's usually the Butz.
which program do you use to record this game?
lol Butz
This was my first ff game, lots of good memories.
1:05:01
the tragedy already??
Can't read hardly anything anyone says because you breeze through it so fast
Butz my ass. grin His name is BARTZ!
Hey everyone. This is my favourite FF game ever, and I played it on an emulator before. I'm looking for a cartridge copy, but it seems like every copy I see on ebay is in Japanese. Has there been a version of this game available for the PAL (japanese) version of the console in English? Would be great if someone could help. Thanks!
This is not the final fantasy game i remember. I hope i can find it soon?
Does anyone else feel like this was a bit of a graphical downgrade from FF IV?
How do I use black magic while one of my guys is a white mage? Like in this video Lennas a white mage but uses black magic too.I just started playing this game again and I completely forgot how all the stuff works lol
I forgot how to earn the x fight
i remember you can have custom classes battle characters in this
what music title when 12.05 please, i love those
So, can someone help me understand the FF timeline? I know that FFIV was know as FFII in America and FFVI was know as FFIII in America, so, where does FFV fit in? Was in released in America at all back im the 90's?
Butz xD <3
Man character moves slowly, in fact the entire gameplay is too slow for a classic game.
I love the 16-bit rendered horn sound in this game!!
Best pirate song ever!
This was my first final fantasy, so it's very special to me. Think it will be the next rpg I play, it's been over ten years since!
I really love the musical quality of all 3 of them. They really pushed the SNES to its limits.
Whew… I thought that asshat had blocked me from commenting on the entire channel.
: ' )
It depends upon whether you're talking about story or gameplay. This may have the better gameplay with the job system but many people find the story in FFVI to be better written and more involving.
Where is the other longplay on SNES? I can only find this one.
This game is such a gem. I usually hate the class system, but in this game it's incredibly fun.
They're both good. I prefer 5 because of the way they did the job system. It has a higher replay value to me than VI or IV.
The best Final Fantasy
since when did Larry appear in this?
Erm not really, FFVI was far better
Final Fantasy 5 is one of my TOP favorite FF games in the hole series.
I've played this game hundreds of hours & I'm still excited to play it in time to time.
In case you're wondering my favorite Final Fantasy games are:
FF5, FF9, FF10-2, FF12.
I'm now tried to play Final Fantasy Legend Trilogy on Gameboy, because they seems very interesting games & I love old school RPGs & Fantasy themed games.
By the way I can't wait to see the Final Fantasy 3DS.
🙂
You have no idea how relieved I am to get this out of the way and for the site to finally have the game on the servers… sorry bout the delay
