This guide is aimed for anyone interested in speedrunning Final Fantasy V after their first playthrough or has minimal experience in RPG speedruns. This guide thoroughly dissects every aspect of the current SNES Any% route, basic mechanical concepts of the game, boss AI and data, performing step manipulation, and backups for any call you might have to make during an attempt.

FF5 Any% SNES Ability Chart and Backups

Based on Zinfogel's speedrun guide and video tutorial for SNES, this spreadsheet is here to help better understand what abilities are learned on which ennemies, and what backups are available should some of your characters lose ABP from dying in some fights.

Final Fantasy V (SFC) Any% Notes (JP ROUTE)

Most recent route as of 20/11/2018. Saves more time by minimizing menus among other optimizations. This document is designed to show battle strats and step manipulation but little in the ways of explaining game mechanics to better aid runs.

SNES Glitchless Kakkun Route

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mjj3-KHrurUawzxv2_LlGxq1fqxPxQIYBfd7saVztb0/edit?usp=sharing

This route is safer than the wr route as of 2/1/2026 and might be faster. Kakkun finishes Neoexdeath 5 minutes faster than wr, but it is on J. I am unsure if version differences can account for that 5 minutes saved or if the route really is just faster.
