Nostalgic fun. If you loved the FF series get this game. For people that never played the FF series nows the time. Get into the game with basic RPG elements that are showed in this game. Many people that have played other grand RPG's Such as FF7, FF8, Suikoden know what im talking about. All summed up I have to say is GET this GAME!

Ahhhhh...the classics!

Check this. I was a wee disapointed with the story for FinalFantasy VII. I mean, compared to VI (America's III) it was bunk! FinalFantasy III is probably the only reason I didn't get any dates throughout my sophomore year of high school. END

Good old games.

Its a really good set of games. I enjoyed FF3 when it came out the first time in the US and having it for a betters system than my old SNES is great. As for FF5, its good to see they came out with it. I was hoping they would bring out some of the other old Japanese FF's, but apparently FF5 is it. Oh well. Wishful thinking on my part. :)

An Awesome Game, especially if you like old school

This is a great game. Yes, it is old, and the graphics are 16-bit and not that great. I really enjoyed this game because it gave me a chance to play Final Fantasy 6 again without going out and buying a Super Nintendo. In case you didn't know, FF Anthology consists of Final Fantasy 5 and 6. This is the first time that FF5 has ever been released in the U.S. As for FF6, it was released here in 1994 as FF3 for Super nintendo. If you understood all that, congratulations. Both games have a killer story line and they provide the bases for other Fantasies, like 7 and 8. Many famous components of these two games originated in these two games. Definitely worth the money.

These games are bliss

After the disappointment of FF8, these games englulf the RPG gamer in pure nostalgic bliss. FFV is an interesting propostion in that it combines the Job System (which was later incorporated into Final Fantasy Tactics)with the traditional RPG system of plot and character development. The plot of FFV is admittedly hackneyed, but the endless customization possible in battle and the unusually high level of difficulty makes it a true classic. Anyone who has ever played FFVI knows that not much really needs to be said about it-it is simply a masterpiece. The gameplay is enriched by the availability of a multitiude of unique characters, yet the character development is still expertly conducted amongst the large cast. the music is unbelievable-some of the most moving themes i have ever heard, period. The only flaw in the game is that it is a relatively simple task to build your characters up to the point where even the final bosses don't even present a challenge. Regardless, FFVI will be remembered as one of the greatest games of all time and the inclusion of FFV makes Final Fantasy Anthology a must purchase for Playstation owners!

The best RPG game I ever played

Final Fanstasy Anthology is probably the best Playstation game I ever played, the best Squaresoft game I ever played and one of the best RPG I played and have. Having played Final Fantasy 7 and 8, the graphics for Final Fantasy Anthology is cheesy, but the story and gameplay is the best. It's a masterpiece and a great game for Playstation.

These games rule!

The best video games ever made are Final Fantasy 6,7,and 8,.Six has the best story line out of all of them. Five is pretty good two. I highly recomend this game.

Really great classics that must be played by any RPG fan!

My first rpg was FF7. It was a great game, and I went along and tried out FF8 and FFA. Final Fantasy Anthology (FF5 and FF6) are really good games that should be played by anyone that is hooked on rpgs (like I was with FF7). FF6's characters were unique, and anyone would probably enjoy using Sabin because his Blitz attacks require directional motions and button taps like a fighting game! FF5 and FF6 also have great music, too! Overall, I'd recommend FFAnthology to any rpg fan that prefers gameplay and storyline over graphics, because the graphics are 16-bit SNES type.

THE Final Fantasy

Besides the grafics, who were the best in the times of Super NES, Final Fantasy 6 is the best square soft game, with the best storyline, best characters, best game system, and it isn't only my oppinion, FFVI (released as FFIII for SNES) was rewarded and chosed as the best of square. If you're a fan of FF series and didn't played it, you've saw nothing. Players who saw the first FF as FF7 don't know how this game loses to his antecessor

Blast from the past

I wasn't going to buy this game at first, but nostalgia got the best of me. I'll start of with the bonuses. You get a CD of game music along with the games Final Fantasy V and VI. I was really disappointed with this though. The tracks chosen for the bonus CD are boring and repetitive. What, no tracks for the Kefka theme, final battle themes, etc? A few were okay. Another thing I'd like to explain before I review the games is that Final Fantasy IV was included in the Japanese version of FF Anthology, but not ours. The FMV is amazing, especially for FFVI. It is less awe inspiring than FFVII but the style and design is less cold. The bonuses you get after beating FFVI (lists of monsters, espers, stats) are nice but anticlimactic.

FFV

This game was mediocre. The story is the weakest of all the final fantasies. Final Fantasy 8 has a much more interesting story than any installment, except possibly FF6. Characters are pathetically paper thin. It's the same old whoever controls the crystals, controls the world story. The pirate character has the irritating habit of saying "D'arrrrr" before every sentence. The only saving grace is the challenge.

FFVI

This, I believe, is where the series really gets good. Squaresoft took the whole Star Wars "Empire" plot but it stays fresh and interesting. The main villain, Kefka, is actually funny(and kind of fruity). It is a nice contrast to all the stereotypical "Darth Vader" type villains. If only Square had made this with current Playstation technology. The music is good but I disagree with all the FF freaks that think it is the best. The music is composed well but WAY too limited by the hardware. The loops are too small, thus making the music somewhat repetitive. I do agree that in newer installments the music is not "medieval" enough (but I feel the same way about how the theme in general has moved). As for gameplay, I like it better than the "job system" of FF5. I like how only one character can use certain special skills. I also like the emphasis at the end of the game on finding special items rather than so much boring level building.
