Editorial Reviews :
Showcasing two installments of SquareSoft's wildly popular role-playing game (RPG) series, Final Fantasy Anthology features the U.S. debut of Final Fantasy V, and reintroduces one of the best RPGs of all time, Final Fantasy VI, originally released as Final Fantasy III on the Super Nintendo gaming system.
Both games are straight Super Nintendo conversions, so their 2-D graphics and 16-bit sounds are admittedly subpar by PlayStation standards. However, SquareSoft has added brand-new, beautifully animated movies for both titles, and has given Final Fantasy VI the star treatment it deserves by adding a bonus mode where gamers can access loads of supplementary material, such as artwork and data files on the game's monsters and items. As an extra bonus for hardcore fans, an audio CD featuring music from both games is included, making this quite the collector's package.
While Final Fantasy V is one of weaker entries in the series, Final Fantasy VI alone is totally worth the price of Final Fantasy Anthology. Endearingly melodramatic characters, a genuinely epic story line, and rock-solid gameplay make Final Fantasy VI just as absorbing today as it was when it was Final Fantasy III. --Joe Hon
Buyer Reviews :
At first, I was completely dismayed to hear that Final Fantasy IV wasn't going to be on here but I guess Final Fantasy V was a fair trade-off. 'New' gamers that rely on cinemas and the ever-popular ... might not completely understand the beauty of these two games, but people who appreciate art will be in awe. If you've played the disappointing ... known as Final Fantasy VIII and want that old nostalgaic feel, this is the package to pick up. .... There's not much I can say about Final Fantasy VI. After beating the super nintendo version twice, this was just number 3 and I still had fun, as they fixed some bugs (no more Lete River multi-hour leveling or unlimited items bug (where the game crashed and when you opened it back up, you had 99 of all the rare items like Economizers and Gem Boxes =)...Was completely random as far as I know since it just 'happened' to me while I was playing)). Final Fantasy VI just has a hands down amazing story, totally evil bad guy, and TONS of characters that are ALL developed and have one part of the story focused on them instead of 2 lines (it's rare to see character development like this nowadays). Final Fantasy V was definitely something new to me. I had just recently beaten Final Fantasy Tactics so I was used to the Job System kind of. I liked it because it would take a LONG time to get everyone mastered in every class. What I liked about FF5 was that 'old' feeling, renewed. Although the characters weren't very developed, the story started off simple and became excellent. This was one of the FEW games where I actually spent hours trying to beat some bosses. The last boss for example...I had to level probably 4 more hours to even match his power once I got to him. THIS is what I like to see in an RPG. The optional bosses...I'm not even touching them with a 10-foot pole. The only thing I didn't like about this package was that the music CD didn't have a list of good tracks, but it was free, so hey! Also, there weren't a lot of cinemas. In fact there are only 2 in FF5 (intro and ending) and 3 in FF6 (intro and ending and 'alternate' trailer). Considering the games are VERY small (not more than 3 megs at the most), I expected to see a LOT more cinemas but that's ok. Also, there were some translation errors in FF5...Like lines that didn't make sense and stuff like that. I don't remember anything offhand, but I know they were there. Also, sometimes on FF5, your objective at the time isn't too clear. Anyways, this is worth buying, GET IT NOW.
