    For which version of each FF you should play, click here.

    This post compares official vs. unofficial definitive versions of Final Fantasy V.

    Pixel Remaster is a game property of Square Enix.

    Pixel Freemaster and Whirlwind are unofficial and unaffiliated with Square Enix.

    Comparison Chart

    Pixel Freemaster is to be succeeded by project Omega, likely to take the form of a web patcher. However, the project is on hold pending return of the modmaker of Pixel Freemaster.
