Final Fantasy Anthology is an excellent game if you a die hard RPG fan. This game has both Final Fantasy 5 and 6. Final Fantasy 5 lacks to the imagination and I would rate it a 3 on a scale from 1 to 5. Final Fantasy 6 is a great RPG, it doesn't have job classes but still one of the greatest RPG's I have ever played. I would definatly buy this game, it is worth it.
Fun Games! But there was something missing...

I am not camplaining about the games, just how it was packaged. They completely left out Final Fantasy IV, which would have made the package even better, and then there should have at least been more computer generated scenes, because that would have brought the characters even more to life. To me these two things were a major disappointment when I got this game. One thing I thought was a great idea was the new "Battle Transitions". I think they are even better that the new Final Fantasys, so I'll give them credit for that. The games are fine and really do bring back old memories of the SNES days and are just as fun as any other RPG. Oh well, if they had alot more CG scenes the package might have 15 cd or something, but hey, I wouldn't mind if it was the same price!
The best of the best!!

The Final Fantasy series is by far the most popular, game inovative, and most of all fun series of all time. And Final Fantasy VI simply is the best of the best series. Sure, the graphics are a bit outdated and many people complain that the PSX is too slow for this game. This may be correct by if you are a true avid gamer, then you will look past this for hours upon hours of real fun. As for innovative qualities, Final Fantasy VI stands out like a sore thumb. Final Fantasy VI is the First of the Series to offer summoning magic. Personally, I beleive summon magic is the Greatest quality of the series. As for Final fantasy V. It may not be the best of the series, but if you love this series as much as I do, then this is just another Fantasy, but definately not... the Final Fantasy
Classic Square

Among all the crappy RPG's out there squaresoft's Final fantasy series always comes through blazing. FF5 is included in this set along with FF6. A landmark game FF5 never made it to the united states instead remained homebound in Japan. Job levels later seen in FF tactics got it start right here. An epic story (as if Sakaguchi does it any other way) great music and all things FF, not to mention new CG intro scenes, what else do you want! FF6 (ff3 here in the states) got some new CG intros this is the game that propelled the series into overdrive. The intense gameplay not to mention a story of revelations and treachery-Kefka is one twisted clown lookin SOB- will keep the old Ps goin for hours.
A classic!

If you are a fan of RPGs and have not played Final Fantasy 3 (Also known as Final Fantasy 6) then you have truly missed out on what is "possibly" the best Final Fantasy ever. This is my personal favorite. Even though I own Final Fantasy 7,8,9 and 10, and I have played, and beaten every Final Fantasy game (Even part 1), this is my still favorite ever.
As for Final Fantasy 5, it was never released in America before. And if you love Final Fantasy games, then of course, you must have this one too. It is no FF6 though. But hey, what is?
An excellent package

If you've played FF3 for the SNES, then 6 is basically the same thing. My focus is on 5, which "critics" and editors tent to rip apart. In my opinion, this is the greatest of the early Final Fantasy games. The plot has a dark side and revolves around death. Either you like it and you don't. The music is great, typical Uematsu and very memorable, one of his best scores in my opinion. Also it is very challanging which is a good thing. All I can say is that its too bad this game wasn't released in the US at the same time as it was in Japan.
great game, but playstation version could be better

These two games are some of the best RPGs ever produced for the super nintendo gaming system, but the re-release on playstation does not match up to the original quality.
The loading time necessary for playstation games slows the game down, an annoyance if you are familiar with the speed of the original. In-Battle text causes the gameplay to become choppy, and things do not flow like they do on playstation.
I have yet to try this game on playstation two... hopefully it will be a bit faster, but the slowness of these games on playstation 1 is almost unbearable.
Aside from that, they have been wonderfully recreated, exactly the same as they were on Super Nintendo.
If nothing else, they are a must-have for any final fantasy fanatics.

Final Fantasy Anthology is one of the best games I have ever played. Any game with Magic is a game for me! It has Espers and monsters that you can fight and collect! If your like me, this game is for you!
The best of the best SQUARE has to offer.

Maybe the best RPG of all time (Final Fantasy VI, or III USA) and its Japanese predecessor (Final Fantasy V, previously unreleased) combine to make a great set of games. Hours of pure entertainment!
2 of the best games ever

I've noticed that many of the reviews have labelled FF5 only as "mediocre." As an avid fan of the series, however, I must say that it is definitely one of my favorite games in the series. Between the job system and the amusing sprite graphics, it may even tie FF6 for my favorite Final Fantasy. I definitely like it better than the NES ones, which I now find almost unplayable, and FF7 or 8, two of my least favorite in the series. The sphere grid system in FF10 is reminiscent of the job system, so I enjoyed that, as the job system is, in my opinion, the best idea Square ever had. FF6 hardly needs any introduction, as it is.. well.. FF6! If you're thinking about getting the game, do yourself a favor and do it!
