Game Saves
Q: GAME SAVES?
Did you accidentally delete your saved game in the SNES version of Final Fantasy 5? Do you want to skip certain parts of the game? Do you want to search for specific game sprites to capture? Whatever the case may be, these game saves are here to save the day :)
Q: WHAT ARE THESE?
Each save is an *.srm file (compatible with any SNES emulator). Each *.srm file contains four saved games (a save in each slot). These are SNES saves so they only work on SNES emulators. I do not have saves for the Game Boy Advance or PlayStation 1 versions of Final Fantasy 5.
MORE INFO WITHIN
Contained in these zip archives are text files containing a detailed description of each save. This description lists the save's location, the current status of the plot, current character levels, current equipment, current magic, current inventory, current gil, and current essential items.
