There are also updated controls and a better, more fluid battle system; a job and ability system featuring 26 unique classes that will allow players to customize their heroes; an additional dungeon called the Sealed Temple, which was oringally featured in the 2006 version of Final Fantasy V for Game Boy Advance; and Enuo, an optional new boss created by renowned veteran designer Tetsuya Nomura.

Final Fantasy V tells the story of four heroes who must embark on a journey to restore life to the world’s four elemental crystals. You do not have to play any other Final Fantasy games preceding or subsequent to Final Fantasy V, since each Final Fantasy game has a stand-alone story and setting.
