Square Enix announced today that Final Fantasy V is now available for download off the Amazon App Store. Much like its pricing on the Google Play store, Final Fantasy V will be set at the price of $15.99.

Final Fantasy V was initially released in Japan in 1992 on Nintendo’s Super Famicom (now known internationally as the Super Nintendo Entertainment System) as the fifth installment in the evergrowing popular Final Fantasy series. From there, the game was later ported to the Playstation and Gameboy Advance with minor differences. Making history as the first game in the franchise to sell over two million copies, it has now been reworked so players can enjoy the wildly popular RPG that captivated so many, on touch screen devices. The game brought a variety of new features to the Final Fantasy franchise, such as improving the job and ability system from Final Fantasy III giving players more freedom when customizing their characters. The game also featured more detailed and expressive 2D character models, allowing players to further their imagination and become more immersed in the Final Fantasy story.

The Moogles told me to do it! I swear!Final Fantasy V  was such a success that it spawned a short-lived anime called Final Fantasy: Legend of The Crystals. The four episode (30 minutes each) anime took place in the same world as Final Fantasy V, only it was 200 years after the events that took place. The heroes of Final Fantasy V have long since passed and are now regarded as legends. The anime was initially released in Japan in 1994 and was later brought to North America by Urban Vision where they lost distribution rights resulting in the anime only ever being released on VHS.

A game being so popular that it’s set franchise records, spawned multiple ports and even had its own follow-up anime, it’s no wonder Square Enix has re-released it for mobile devices and because of that, people can now take the groundbreaking Final Fantasy V with them wherever they go.
