They Don't Make 'em Like They Used To

Final Fantasy VI does not have stunning graphics, but that's the only area in which it lacks - and you have to remember, this game was released as you see it for the SNES many years ago. At the time, the graphics were far superior to other similar RPG's.

They really don't make em like they used to. FFVI has some of the most catchiest music I've ever heard - and not just for a video game. Just in general. The story line draws you in to each character and makes you care about them. The fight engine is innovative and interactive. How I wish that Square had remade the whole game with today's graphics! Even so, it is still one of my favorite RPG's to date. I definitely recommend it.

Back to the old days of REAL games

Lately, i was wondering why am i'm not enjoying playing games as much as i did a few years ago. Final Fantasy anthology vs Final Fantasy 8 gave me the answer. Actual games are just flashy, unelaborate title (there is some exceptions). FF6 (3 in US) is with no doubt, THE best FFantasy ever. And its was on the Super Nintendo!

FF5 is a little outdated, but still more elaborate and fun than FF8.

I was a fan of FF since the 7th got out (i quit since then), but this makes me very happy, and the only thing i can say to all fans of FF is:....BUY IT. (And you get the FF5 and 6 soundtrack..isn't that super! :)))

Thanks ;)

Square soft makes the best games.

FFV,FFVI,FFVII,FFVIII Quite possibly the Greatest games ever made. Buy all of these games I find Them all good, but in differnt ways I like FFVI for the story line and the semi-medevil stuff. I like FFVIII for the good graphice and non-medievil stuff, allso the story line is todaly different and I like it. Buy any one of these games and after a half hour of playing them I garente you will be hooked on Final Fantasy games for ever.

Anyone who has played FFVI (FFIII) on the SNES knows that it is an awesome game. It has a great storyline and interesting characters. FFV is also a very good game. Seeming to be the inspiration for FF Tactics, you can change your 4 characters into over a dozen different classes including knights, ninjas and summoners. It even has a good storyline. The music cd isn't that great, but it's fun to listen to at least once.

Great Game

this is strictly regarding FF4

I played and played and PLAYED this game forever... loved it. Up until the ending... the whole game is awesome... nothing compares with it... but the developers of the game did a horrible job on the ending.

Both games are fun and exciting!

Final Fantasy V and VI were both great games. Final Fantasy VI is one of the best games I have ever played. FF6 draws you into the game with it's storyline and memorable characters. It also has much of what other games don't have, such as issues on suicide, teen pregnancy, and other issues. Also the music to the game is very fun. I humm the music alot during freetime, school, and when I do other stuff. The characters each also have a different special skill, and there are many sidequests, and the game is sometimes very challenging.

Final Fantasy V is also fun but not that exciting as FFVI. It has a different battle/system, using the JOB system, which is where you can change into different character classes, such as ninjas, blackwizards, bards and other classes. I've only played the beginning of the games so I can't say much about it but it was pretty fun. I definitely recommend that you play FFVI first because it's very fun.

So start clicking and typing and buy this game!

Great Retro game and we can finally play FFV and enjoy FFVI

Amazing package, this even comes with the soundtrack to both games! Some people complain about the graphics but why would you want to change a great product like this? I think its great, we can finally get FFV (unless you importeded it) and the music in FFVI is Fantastic. Let me start with FFV, I like the job system because its easy to use and though there is a short amount of characters (only 4 that permanently join you)its still great, the story in FFV is real thought up. The ending is worth it (this is playstation so it has 2 endings the SNES ending and the PSX ending). FFV doesn't have as great of music as FFVI or as great a story but if you want to see how FF7 and FF8 came around. This is just such a great game.

Now what should I say for FF6? How about, its moving and has a great number of characters (14 total) The music is quite possibly the best i've heard in a long time. Whats great is there isn't really a main character so you don't have to have in the same character all the time. It has probably as good a story as FF7, though getting magic is frustrating because you have to battle so much to get new ones, its a stunning RPG and I think (this is my personal opinion) that this is the greatest Final Fantasy ever. As with most final fantasies battling gets kind of boring after while but its fun. Also some of the greatest character build up and actually can be considered to have 2 story lines! Both of the endings are worth it as well (once again the PSX and the SNES ending) and now has the bonus where you can look at the Bestiary, your characters stats and much more. Great game, Great Package! Overall

FF5 Music-7.5 Story-10 Graphics-9 gameplay-9.5

FF6 Music-10 Story-10 Graphics-9.5 gameplay-10

Clearly both Final Fantasies let you in on some things carried over to FFVII and FFVIII but clearly there both great RPGs.

Also Listen to the album, the music is great for both games.

2 is better than 1

This collection brings back two of great classic Final Fantasy's. All though we all would have liked to see FF4 in this collection, that will have to wait for the next collection.

The reason why most people would want to buy this is for FF5, which has only been available with emulation until this. FF5, in my opinion, has the best battle system to date! It introduces the full buffet of jobs for you to choose from and customize. It's fairly challenging and very fun. A must have for anyone who enjoyed the old-school RPGs.

FF6 is the BEST GAME EVER

They didnt have a FF6 page so ill review ff6 here:
Hands down, no other game can compare to final fantasy 6. it is by far the best rpg out there, for ANY system, and you will be hard pressed to find a better game period. Old school graphics (i.e. hand drawn) are by far better than even the best of the new computer generated stuff (keep in mind that im 15 and saying this). The music in this game is incredible, its the best music I have ever heard in a video game, save MAYBE Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross.

Ok, now here is where the game truly shines. The story, and gameplay. The immense scope of the story is staggering, it spans a cast of 13 characters that are all unique and contribute to the storyline. The characters all act believeably, and there are serious consequences for all the actions taken (as in the reshaping of the world...). Certain scenes are unbeliveably powerful, such as Cyan watching his wife and son board the Phantom Train, and the decision of who will take the throne of Figaro. By the end of the game, you will feel that you know the characters, and care for them. Believe me, this almost never happens and is extremely rare, that a game was able to do this blew me away.

And we haven't even talked about gameplay yet. Everything about combat is intuitive, and works extremely well. Square learned from their previous rpgs, and adjusted to create one of the best turn-based systems ever created. An ATB (active time battle) gauge can be displayed that lets you know exactly how much time you have left before you can act again, no guessing here. The use of magic is similar to FF7 and (sort of) FF9, they both looked to this game as inspiration. When you recieve magicite (a sort of magical essence) you equip it, and at first you cannot learn the spells contained within. By fighting you gain magic points (AP) and once you gain enough (enough to equal 100%, each esper multiplies the number of points you recieve by a certain amount), you permanetly learn the spell and do not have to wear the magicite anymore (of which you can only wear one at a time). You can summon an Esper with the magicite at any time after you have equipped it. Whew! At any rate the system works extremely well.
In the end, let me say this. I have played a lot of games, a LOT/ for almost every system ever released. No other game can touch this game. You simply WILL NOT be disappointed by this game, it is absoutely phenomenal. Very Highly Recommended

The Best of Old School RPG's

This is definately a must buy for people who enjoyed Final Fantasy II and III on the SNES. Final Fantasy Anthology includes both Final Fantasy V (never before released in the USA) and Final Fantasy VI (III on the SNES) as well as a music cd that includes music selections from both of the games.

Fnial Fantasy V contains the complex job system that enables you to create characters of different classes such as Thief, Black Mage, White Mage, and others (all of the classes on Final Fantasy Tactics are included, along with a few others unique to this game). The graphics are outdated, but the challenge of the game moer than makes up for the outdated graphics, and the replay value is high as well (you can start over, and make completely different customized characters to beat the game with again).

Final Fantasy VI has got to be the best in the series when it comes to characters, catchy music, and storyline. The characters are all different and have their own personalities that make the game very unique. The characters are developed very well, and you find yourself caring about their feelings, and what happens to them. Beat the game, and then listen to the soundtrack, and I can gurantee that you will remember exactley where you were in the game when you first heard the songs. The storyline is very traditional (good vs. bad no gray area), but it is a very well developed storyline with a few twists and turns, and to top it all off the bad guy in the game (Kefka) is the most evil and twisted villan in all of the Final Fantasy Series.

Pros: Excellent games with new fully rendered cinemas that weren't included in the SNES versions. A collection of the two best RPG's of the mid 90's era

Cons: Load time (the SNES plays the games a lot faster and smoother). Outdated Graphics (you will learn to appreciate the game though).

Overall: A great buy for any RPG fan or Final Fantasy Fan that is willing to put up with the outdated sound and graphics.
