Final Fantasy V

I’ve been hunting for this specific Super Famicom box for ages, and the printed sleeve is in near-mint condition—definitely worth tracking down for a proper Squaresoft collection. The music during the opening sequence still gives me chills every time I pop it in.

The cartridge art alone makes this worth picking up, and the Japanese packaging gives it a premium feel that most US releases lacked. Still, the real treasure is being able to play through the Job system in its original form on original hardware.

The cartridge art on this copy is gorgeous, and the save battery still holds a charge from the original release. It feels like holding a real piece of RPG history from the 16-bit era.
