Boco’s Final Fantasy V

Featuring Inu Megapack Integrated with RPGe Translation

For the first time, the widely hailed work of Japanese romhacker Inu (dog) has been amassed for testing and integration with the monumental RPGe translation before being released as a standalone, no-frills megapack.

Why the name “Boco’s FFV”? Well, dog is man’s best friend, and Boco is Bartz’s best friend, so to speak, so there you go.

Although certain hacks have used some of Inu’s work in the past, it is unclear how big of a fraction of Inu’s comprehensive body of work was included.

Some of these works did not provide any integration with an English translation.

Furthermore, those certain hacks added additional features, sometimes well beyond those that Inu intended to offer in his body of work.
