Final Fantasy V English translation
ファイナルファンタジーV
RPGe's classic fan translation that first brought the Super Famicom Final Fantasy V to English-speaking players, later revised by Spooniest in an addendum with a reworked script and a new font.
What's translated
RPGe's patch translates the whole game: story, dialogue, menus, job and ability names and battle text. It was one of the best-known fan translations of the 1990s and, for years, the only way to play the Super Famicom Final Fantasy V in English. Version 1.10 dates from October 1998.
Spooniest's addendum
In 2021 Spooniest released version 2.1 of an addendum built on the RPGe translation, with a revised script and a different, Chicago-style font. FastROM variants of both patches made by kandowontu also exist, which speed up parts of the game that run slowly on the original hardware.
Playing it
Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese Super Famicom game, following the instructions on the patch's page.
