    Today marks one month from Pokémon Clover being deplatformed in terms of fan-made achievements on the Internet.

    Today, FFV Central is pleased to announce that achievement badges are now available for players to earn.

    Badges are currently awarded based on video evaluation by achievement verifiers.

    Over twenty-five titles are currently supported. All genres and platforms are eligible to be supported.

    Players and eligible achievement designers are welcome. The latter will also act as achievement verifiers.

    1. FFV Central will strive to be a bastion of freedom of speech, transparency, and accountability.
    2. There will be no departments. No “authoritarian regime” as Salsa put it. The platform will be guided by libertarian principles.
    3. Any achievement designer can design achievements for any game.
    4. Players’ legit achievement unlocks will not be removed against their will.
    5. The work of achievement designers will stay their own.
    6. The work of an achievement designer will not be vandalized by another achievement designer or removed against the will of the achievement designer.
    7. Hack patches will not be cloned or hosted without hack author permission.
    8. Legally sold paid mods are eligible to be supported.
    9. Progression, beat, and completion achievements will not be supported. Games are meant to be beaten or completed.
    10. Softcore achievements will not be supported.

    For more details, please check us out in any of our sister Discords.

    A separate announcement will be made when Pokémon Clover achievements are available. If you are interested in assisting in that effort specifically, please reach out to us.

  • Why “FFV” Central?

    Your Questions Answered

    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?
