    Sheet music from Gamemusic.com



    Contains piano versions of selected songs from Final Fantasy V for the Super Nintendo (Super Famicom) and was never released in the U.S. FF5 was ported to the PlayStation as a solo game, but still not released in the U.S. It finally came over as part of Final Fantasy Anthology for the PlayStation. The music doesn't change from game to game, but in the Anthology release, there is some extra music during the FMV scenes that is not found on any soundtrack.

    First pressing/Squaresoft version: Comes with a hardcover book that has sheet music to the songs, track list in English and Japanese (kana), and a short paragraph about each song. The CD comes in a plastic insert built into the cover of the book. The first-pressing book cover is cream-colored; the SS version has a kind of marbelized pink color. The scores seem to be for advanced piano. These are DIFFERENT from the piano books sold by DoReMi, which contain ONLY PIANO SCORES to ALL the music in the game and are arranged for beginner to intermediate players.

    Squaresoft reissue: CD only comes in a regular jewel case. Liner notes have the track list in kana and a paragraph in Japanese titled "FF5 no omoide" (Memories of FF5). If anyone is willing to translate that, I'll be sure to add it to my site! The back cover has the tracklist in English. This album has a grass theme going, with the back cover and liner notes having a grassy design, and the CD colored a rather horrid green.

    Top Circle version: CD only comes in a regular jewel case. Liner notes have the same content and layout as the SS version, except that all company names have been removed from the credits. The CD is white, with the tracklist printed on it in green-colored kana. Also includes a customer survey sheet.



    English names are taken from the fan-translated FF5 ROM. I don't remember who worked on it, but I believe one of the team was Shadow. If anyone can give me the ROM's credits, please let me know.
