RPGe’s FFV translation is probably the most famous fan translation ever. It was the first RPG to ever be completely translated, and a lot of ROM hackers and translators today cite this project as the reason they got into the hobby. Given the project’s troubled history, it’s really nice to see such an overwhelmingly positive result.

In contrast to J2e’s FFIV translation, which some say took too many script liberties, FFV’s script is occasionally criticized for its blandness. There’s just no pleasing people, is there? At least Faris doesn’t say “Arr!” constantly.
