  • Why “FFV” Central?

    Your Questions Answered

    For clymax’s projects, click here. You can also follow him on YouTube.

    Q1. Is this site official?

    A1. No. This site is unofficial and unaffiliated with Square Enix.

    Q2. Does this site only cover Final Fantasy V?

    A2: No. Since launch, we have covered hacks and challenges in the Final Fantasy franchise. See the “Mods” section of the top navigation bar.

    Q3: What about other JRPG franchises?

    A3: Yes, we currently cover hacks and challenges in other JRPG franchises also. See the “Series” section of the top navigation bar.

    Q4: What about other game genres?

    A4: Yes, the site has been expanded to cover hacks and challenges in other game genres, such as adventure, arcade, and fighting, just to name a few. See the “Rando” section of the top navigation bar.

    Q5: What about vanilla games?

    A5: Currently, vanilla games are mainly covered from a hack-adjacent angle of challenges, exploits, etc. The focus on this site is on hacks and not squarely on vanilla.

    Q6: Then why the theming based on Final Fantasy V?

    A6: Final Fantasy V was the game that spurred the efforts by fans to create the first major English translation romhack.

    Our community at Final Fantasy V Central aims to carry this kind of hacking spirit and creativity forward to the new era.

    We hope to inspire a new generation of players and hackers—just like how we were inspired when we first got our hands on a copy of the quintessential translation romhack by Myria, SoM2Freak, and harmony7, collectively known as RPGe.

    No matter how many times we expand our scope of coverage on the site—and we’ve expanded many times now—our vision remains the same, hence the keeping of the name.

    Q7: Where can I learn more about this RPGe romhack?

    A7: See the resources below.
