PS4
In Final Fantasy V, the plan changes with its three worlds. Timed treasure and disappearing encounters come first; job mastery comes later. Keep Learning ready for enemy techniques and play each piano on the way, since a return trip is not always possible.
The 2D Pixel Remaster on PS4 has 39 trophies. Extra jobs from other editions are outside this list.
- Trophies: 39, including platinum
- Missables: Chests, encounters and content in earlier worlds
- Challenges: Jobs, Blue Magic, Omega and Shinryu
Save before the Karnak escape
Before defeating Liquid Flame on the Fire-Powered Ship, make a separate save: Karnak Castle comes next and is explored against the timer. Open chests on the way out, check fights for Sorcerer, Cur Nakk and Gigas, and defeat at least one Sergeant before it flees.
- Disable encounters only after registering the area’s enemies.
Finish stops before changing worlds
In the first world, fight Shiva behind the Walse waterfall and play pianos as you find them. In Galuf’s world, do not defer story dungeon encounters and chests, such as those in Castle Exdeath, until a return trip. In the merged world, find the last piano at Phantom Village through the pub’s rear route.
- Keep a save before each world change and check off pianos as you go.
Learn techniques before ending fights
Field a Blue Mage or equip Learning and let the technique hit a learner before you win. Some enemies need to be controlled to select the desired move. For Self-Destruct, try lightning against Motor Trap on the ship. If seeking Death Claw in Karnak, let Iron Claw take a turn.
- Check the Blue Magic menu after fights, not only the bestiary.
Get Mime before finishing jobs
Return to the Water Crystal area in the sunken tower to challenge Gogo. That encounter asks for patience: set your usual attacks aside and wait for the trial to finish. Once Mime is unlocked, use the ABP boost and work through job mastery on the same character instead of scattering progress.
- Check every job including the secret one before you stop earning ABP.
Plan the sealed weapons and two superbosses
Take the four tablets to Kuza and claim three weapons on each visit. In the Rift, save before facing Omega and before the chest that contains Shinryu. Bring water protection for Shinryu’s opener; try fast lightning attacks on Omega and keep healing ready while testing your party.
- Finish both superbosses and check remaining counters before Neo Exdeath.

Frequently asked questions
How urgent is Karnak?
Very: the timer and one-way exit make a pre-Liquid Flame save useful, not only a save inside the castle.
Do I need an edition with extra jobs?
No. The platinum uses the Pixel Remaster jobs, including Mime. Jobs added to other editions are not required.
Are the optional fights needed for platinum?
Yes. Omega and Shinryu have separate trophies: the story ending does not unlock them.
