If Square had never put this anthology together it's fairly likely that I never would have had the opportunity to play these earlier releases in the Final Fantasy series.

While Final Fantasy V in the anthology really shows it's age in it's plot and graphics Final Fantasy VII is making up for it. The music is wonderful and the characters are more emotionally connected than the current release. I would say that with the exception of the smallish graphics that it's a much more enriching experience than Final Fantasy VIII.

This is my all time favorite game. If you own Final Fantasy III for super Nintendo and liked this then you'll really like what Playstation has done to it. They've added in amazing cutscenes to this game. I not to keen on Final Fantasy VI but it still is an OK game. I would buy this game just for FFVI. The music CD it comes with is also OK.

Two great games in one package!

First off, if you can't stand a game with bad graphics, don't buy this! But beneath the rough exterior lies two of my all time favorite RPGs. Square has ported FFV and FFVI over to the Playstation for a wonderful gaming experience. FFV has a cool job system similar to that in FF Tactics that allows you to have complete control over your character's growth. You can have a ninja, knight, samurai, thief, etc. The storyline, although corny at times, keep you interested enough to keep on playing, but the game's strength lies in battle and character growth. FFVI on the other hand is a more traditional RPG. It has a great storyline and unique charcters, all with different, special abilities. And, of course, the opera scene. Mix these two games together, add all new FMV and bonuses, and you have another winner from Square.

FF6 is still one of the best games ever made.

Many people have been spoiled by the graphics of the Playstation FF games and as a result they have completely missed out on the best rpg ever made. Don't let outdated graphics convince you that this is a bad game!

This game is pure gold

Well, the descriptions I read here before I bought this on Amazon were pretty accurate. Six is a classic. I do think that FF V is underrated in Amazon's review, I liked it and it doesn't seem to get me stuck as often as FF VI does. The dialog on both of these games is pretty bad. It appears to have been translated from Japanese, however the story line is interesting and the music cd has some ok songs on it so I think it's a pretty good deal.

It usually takes a year or two for Square to release another Final Fantasy game, but anthology is not just one great FF game, it's two great FF games. Sure they're old and many will be scared off by the 16-bit graphics, but those who stick around will enjoy some quality gaming. This package will last you a while too, as each game will take 40+ hours to complete. This is well worth your time.

Good games never die, they just get repackaged

I was amazed when I saw this package. I had to have it. Final Fantasy VI is one of the best RPGs of all time. There is something in the story, the characters, and the locales that just grabbed me. It grabbed a lot of my friends, too. I think maybe it is because the story is complex enough to be interesting, but most of the characters are simple enough to be kept track of all their subplots, and almost every character has a subplot. It is an engrossing game, and I do think it is a shame it didn't get a Playstation makeover, but just the fact it is being given a new audience is good enough. Final Fantasy V is not as bad as everyone makes it sound, even though it is not anywhere near as interesting as later entries. It did introduce the job system (Final Fantasy Tactics ring a bell?) and the story, while not as well done, will still keep an interested player interested. The music CD misses some of the highlights though. How could they miss the opera house music? Wasn't that one of the few video game scenes that actually brought out some emotion?

Well worth my money (what little of it I have)

Final Fantasy Anthology is a great game to add to your FF collection. Though the tiny simplistic characters are what they are, they still put a lot of personality into those little pixels. The story line takes a while to pick up, but once you have, it's fun. I haven't found them to be the easiest games in the world (I tend to get lost a lot) they're well worth the time.

The game meets its price because of all it includes:
FFIV
FFV
Music CD with all those little MIDI songs

Maybe you don't appreciate that kind of stuff, so you might be more interested in FF7 or FF9 or whatever. They're all good as far as I'm concerned.

If you liked the old Final Fantasy games, this games for you. I'd also recommend Final Fantasy Tactics. It does take a bit of skill, but it's a great game. This game along with Chronicles is hard to find (I know first hand) but it's well worth it. Good luck!

2 great RPG's in one....what more can I say!?

Both of these games are classic RPGs. FF5 was never released in the U.S (you could get it if you had an emulator). The storyline in 5 is a little weak I thought, but the battle system, job system, and ability system give the game endless possibilities. You can have fun going through the game again using different combinations of jobs. If you have never played FF5 or FF6 prior to buying this anthology, play 5 first because it will set you up for 6. Now, onto FF6. I feel this is the best RPG ever. Though the modern Final Fantasies offer better graphics, bigger story lines, ect, FF6 is the greatest of all time. When it was released on the SNES as FF3, it was ground breaking. It blew everything out of the water with its interactive story line, personable characters, and awesome battle system. So for its time, FF6 is untouchable. The story line is linear, most of the time you know where you are supposed to be going and what you are supposed to be doing, but at the same time you are on your toes because you can't tell what will happen next. The music will blow you away to. It really adds to the effect of the game. FF6 is also a long game, first time I played it on the SNES, it took me 80hrs to beat. Once you know the game inside and out, you can do it in 20hrs. The difficulty is just right as well. Most people will be able to get through this game without having to get a guide. That's how an RPG should be. It should make you think, but not make you have to look up answers on the net or in a guide. If you are an RPG fan, and have PS1 or PS2, buy this game. They are becoming collector's items. I bought mine used for 40 bucks (in nice condition). That's a pretty steep price, so just imagine how much it will be in a year or so.

Final Fantasy Anthology is a 2 in 1 game. FF5 is a game with outdated graphics, I admit, but the job system and story are amazing. FF6 (originally FF3 for SNES) is, has, and always will be the best of the FF series. With its 100+ hours of gameplay, side quests, charecters, love stories, and loads of interesting equipment, it was designed to be the best of the best. It is a challenge, and anyone who is a FF fanatic should buy this game.
