Editorial Review:
Showcasing two installments of SquareSoft's wildly popular role-playinggame (RPG) series, Final Fantasy Anthology features the U.S. debut of FinalFantasy V, and reintroduces one of the best RPGs of all time, Final FantasyVI, originally released as Final Fantasy III on the Super Nintendo gamingsystem.
Both games are straight Super Nintendo conversions, so their 2-D graphics and 16-bitsounds are admittedly subpar by PlayStation standards. However, SquareSoft has addedbrand-new, beautifully animated movies for both titles, and has given Final FantasyVI the star treatment it deserves by adding a bonus mode where gamers can accessloads of supplementary material, such as artwork and data files on the game's monstersand items.
While Final Fantasy V is one of weaker entries in the series, Final FantasyVI alone is totally worth the price of Final Fantasy Anthology. Endearinglymelodramatic characters, a genuinely epic story line, and rock-solid gameplay makeFinal Fantasy VI just as absorbing today as it was when it was Final FantasyIII. --Joe Hon

- Another One of the "1st Remakes"
These games were the first remakes Square released... and the most memorable remakes for many fans of the series too.This remake brought Final Fantasy V to our shores after all and many fans loved the fact that Final Fantasy VI's remake was faithful to the original AND it got rid of most of the censorship too!(Younger gamers like me though only got to experience what it was like to play Final Fantasy VI for the first time though.)Both games are faithful to the originals too... which many fans ...

Rating: - Totally worth it
Now obviously Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy VI were originally on the SNES (and V wasn't originally released in the U.S.), so the graphics aren't going to be like they are today. However, the newly added CG Movie Sequences that were put into the game as an opening sequence are stunning, and the graphics for VI were PS1 quality at some parts.
Anyway, both games have a very captivating storyline, and you genuinely get to know the characters. The gameplay is also different in both games ... Read More

Rating: - Dated Gameplay, Masterpiece of Gaming.
The random encounters get old and fast, though the game is still enjoyable. But that's not the reason this work of art is constantly hailed as the greatest RPG (and sometimes the greatest game) of all time. The story is what keeps this moving. Why? The dialogue often lacks, and pales in comparison to Baldur's Gate, for example. Well, the fact is the Plot, and the characters of this rich, imagination-generating game are unparalled. Who doesn't remember Kefka (or Cefca), the greatest, most hysterically awesome ... Read More
