Final Fantasy V (JP)
What am I seeing here?
⭕ ❌ If this is all new to you, check out our EXPLAINER on memory cards, icons, and gaming history! 🔺 🟥
Original PlayStation memory card icons are really small — only 16 pixels square! That’s awfully tiny for today’s screens so I’ve created 2 versions of each icon: one at 32 pixels that is closer to the original size and a much larger one at 256 pixels.
FUN FACT
While Final Fantasy I has more icons in total, Final Fantasy V is the king so far for the number of totally unique images. The game offers 22 different Job classes and each one has its own icon. Like previous entries, the icon only changes based on your lead party member so it’s easy to miss these if you aren’t shuffling your party around often.
It’s also notable for the Mime/Mimic class which is a late game unlock from a very specific and challenging side quest. I thought I’d have to play most of the game to find that one but, duh, then I remembered about GameShark codes 👌
