The game was ported to the [[PlayStation]] in 1998. This version had an opening FMV added, and it was the first version that was released outside of Japan (as part of ''[[Final Fantasy Anthology]]''). In 2006, ''Final Fantasy V'' was ported to the [[Game Boy Advance]] under the title ''[[Final Fantasy V Advance]]''. In 2011, the PlayStation version was ported to the [[PlayStation Network]]. The Game Boy Advance version was used as the basis for the [[iOS]] and [[Android]] versions, both released in 2013, and for the [[Steam]] version released in 2015. The original Super Famicom version was ported to the [[Virtual Console]] on [[Wii]], [[Wii U]], and [[Nintendo 3DS|New Nintendo 3DS]], although only in Japan.

One day, the world's wind currents inexplicably begin to slow. Concerned, the [[Alexander Highwind Tycoon|king of Tycoon]] flies off on his [[wind drake]], [[Hiryu]], to the Wind Shrine which holds the Crystal of Wind, only to see it shatter into pieces upon his arrival. Meanwhile, a [[meteorite]] plunges to the planet's surface in the lands near Tycoon Castle. Resting with his [[chocobo]] [[Boko]] in the woods, the startled adventurer Bartz decides to investigate the meteor crash, where he comes across a young woman named Lenna under attack by goblins. He rescues her and they soon discover an old man in the wreckage unable to remember anything except his name: Galuf. Lenna explains that she is on her way to the Wind Shrine, where her father has gone to discover why the wind has suddenly ceased. Galuf, suddenly realizing that he needs to go there without knowing why, accompanies her. Bartz continues on his way, but is unable to get far before Boko forces him to return and rescue them from more goblins. The three then decide to travel together to the Wind Shrine. However, the path to [[Tule Village]] is blocked by the meteor's wreckage, leaving water as the only route. With the help of the pirate captain Faris, the group makes its way to the Wind Shrine, only to discover a missing King Tycoon and the shattered Wind Crystal. The shards, as well as the world's other three crystals, react to their presence. An image of King Tycoon appears and explains to the four of them that they are charged as the chosen warriors that must protect the Crystals to prevent an ancient evil from being revived and devastating their world.

They find that the four elemental crystals on the planet, the crystals of Wind, Earth, Fire, and Water, are actually the seal binding the warlock Exdeath, who was once bent on destroying their world. Each crystal is, unfortunately, being exploited for its powers, and this, accompanied with their pending destruction, is causing them stress that will eventually make the world uninhabitable. Bartz and his companions attempt to save each of the remaining crystals — the Crystal of Water at the tower of [[Walse]], the Crystal of Fire at [[Karnak]], and the Crystal of Earth at [[Gohn]] — but ultimately fail. As they attempt to save the last Crystal they meet Krile, Galuf's granddaughter, who helps restore Galuf's memory completely. He remembers that he is actually from a distant world, and with the help of the engineers Cid and Mid, whom they met at Karnak and the [[Library of Ancients]], the group resolves to travel to Galuf's world, Exdeath's true target. He is already wreaking havoc when they arrive, battling armies of men on the Big Bridge, including Galuf. Bartz, Lenna, and Faris are ultimately captured. Galuf flies in on his wind drake to save them, defeating Gilgamesh, one of Exdeath's lieutenants, in the process. However, the warriors are blown to a distant continent when a barrier is activated during their escape. Thanks to Krile, her wind drake, and a group of [[moogle]]s, they make their way to [[Bal Castle]], a place in which Galuf is king.

The party enters Exdeath's castle and defeats him, but the three remaining crystals shatter and the worlds are reunited. They learn that he seeks the power of the Void, which had been sealed in the dimensional interval called the [[Rift]] and kept sealed by dividing the worlds. Exdeath has acquired this power, and he uses it across the newly combined world, consuming entire towns and kingdoms. After having recombined an ancient book entailing the seals on the Tablets that hold the twelve legendary weapons within [[Kuza Castle]], used against Enuo one millennium ago, Ghido proposes that the party collect them as quickly as possible.
