Developed by Square Enix and published by Nintendo, Final Fantasy V Advance arrived on the Game Boy Advance in 2006 as a role-playing game.
It landed about 5 years into the GBA's life. Other notable GBA releases from 2006 include Mother 3, Rhythm Tengoku and Drill Dozer.
It is part of the Final Fantasy series; on the GBA you can also try Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls and Final Fantasy IV Advance. The series also appears on other systems with Final Fantasy VII (PS1) and Final Fantasy VIII (PS1).
This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.
Pick it if…
- you want to get lost in a long quest
- you have time for an epic journey (20+ hours of adventure)
- you've played the GBA hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you want instant action rather than menus, story and grinding
- you are looking for something to play with friends
- you only have a few minutes at a time
What playing Final Fantasy V Advance is like
Role-playing games trade reflexes for strategy and story. You build a party, level up, manage equipment and travel across a large world, usually through menu-based battles.
Tip for newcomers: Retro RPGs can require some level grinding and rarely tell you exactly where to go next. Talk to every townsperson, save often and use a guide if you get stuck: there is no shame in it.
