Final Fantasy AnthologyStrengths: Two classic NES games that have improved for the PS1. Great retro gameplay. Very good storylines. Weakness: Slow emulation SW of NES on Playstation. Short, but consistent, delays between battles are annoying. With Final Fantasy Anthology, Square brings two of the NES video game gems to the Playstation. In comparison to modern games, don't expect great graphics or sound. Remember, these games are the original NES games being emulated on the Playstation. As such, the sprite graphics and MIDI sound that were cutting edge in the early 90's are dated. However, if you're looking at this collection, you're...

Final Fantasy AnthologyStrengths: Depth, story, fun Weakness: Sometimes slow moving You get two classic games in one, without having to dust off that old SNES system. They are still enjoyable even years later. I totally recommend these games to anyone that likes console RPGs. It's not all about eye candy, it's about fun.

Final Fantasy AnthologyStrengths: If you enjoyed the US release of Final Fantasy 3 for SNES, this is a must have. This game includes both that game (FF3 US release) and an unreleased FF game which falls between FF2 and FF3 (US release Weakness: You have to get over the dated graphics and sound. There are a few minor issues with accurate PS emmulation of SNES. As I said above, this is a must have for all Final Fantasy fans. This game is classic RPG. If you were frustrated by the multitude of stats in ff8 or the thin story of X2 then it is time to return to innocense and buy this game. It has a story rich in human interaction and while the graphics aren't the latest or greatest, you will find this game engaging to pick up and play, and you will actually...

Final Fantasy AnthologyStrengths: Epic, Solid RPG, Great Music, CLassic gaming, new FML-cinemas Weakness: Load times, some emulation problems A gamer will only be satisfied playing Final Fantasy Anthology if he knows what he's in for. FOr one thing, there are loading times. Sure, this is normal for any Playstation gane, but who wants to wait for a battle (which should be a sudden, swift event- you've been attacked!) to kind of crawl into action? True, there is a cool new fade effect that launches the battle, but it seems to only add to...

Final Fantasy AnthologyStrengths: Graphics, Storyline, Cinematics Weakness: Price, still no final fantasy III. Please SquareSoft, bring back Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, and Radical Dreamers. Perhaps put them together in another 2 pack or all the games in a DVD for PS2.

Final Fantasy AnthologyStrengths: great collectible from a company with a history of greatness Weakness: old game...one of the best when it was originally released for the SNES...but the standard has been redefined by sequals of the same series. If you love the Final Fantasy series and Square games as much as I do, then this is a "must have" game. Initially, I bought FFII (SNES release of FFIV) as a collector item, but then Square comes out with FF Anthology...what a treat! In my belief I could pick it up off eBay sometime when I had time to actually play it, I was befuddled to find the price was as much as $80. It was music to my ears...

Top of the ClassStrengths: + Collects two Final Fantasy Games - FF5 and FF6(one of the best rpgs ever) Weakness: - load times for every random battle - the added cutscenes aren't impressive at all If you consider yourself an rpg fan, then you must either play this game or go get the Super Nintendo versions of it. Final Fantasy Anthology is made up of Final Fantasy 5 and 6 which both originally appeared during the days of the Super Famicon/Super Nintendo. The graphics are the same as the old versions (so everything is done in 2D, pixelated sprites). Even so, Final Fantasy 6 is still...

The Best Fantasy AND How To Fix the Load Time ProblemStrengths: best story - tons of characters - great battles Weakness: starting to show its age I've noticed a couple people complain about the load times (especially during battles). There's a quick and easy fix for PS2 owners: In the main menu under the PS1 Driver, there's a setup option for "Fast Loading". When you turn that on, the game will load as fast as the original cartridge did. Problem solved. . And now for the game: FF6 *is* the best version of Final Fantasy made to date (imho)....

More Classic Gaming For Your Dollar!Strengths: Final Fantasy 5 and Final Fantasy 6 in one package, direct port of the original Final Fantasy 3 for SNES, great load times, and both are solid RPGs through and through. Weakness: Direct port of Final Fantasy 3, insanely poor translation for Faris in Final Fantasy 5, some Mode 7 porting issues for Final Fantasy 6. FF5 and FF6 for $20 or less. Honestly, there's no reason not to buy this collection, especially now. But, if you want some reasons, feel free to read onward. Final Fantasy 5: This is the first time FF5 has been available in the US. The graphics are slightly better than FF4, which came out early on in the Super Famicom's lifespan, but the music is still high quality. The plot is interesting as...

Final Fantasy Anthology
With its sweeping cinemas, detailed character designs and a whole bucketload of options, it's hard to recall the days when small sprite characters and 16-bit soundtracks ruled the RPG roost. TopAdvertisement

Strengths: 2 great games for the price of one. New CG cinematics.
Weakness: None really except that the games are fairly old now.
Final Fantasy Anthology is a collection of both Final Fantasy 5 and Final Fantasy 6. Final Fantasy 5 was never released here in the U.S. until now. Final Fantasy 6 was originally released here as Final Fantasy 3 on the Super Nintendo. FF 6 is the better of the 2 games and is still a classic RPG. Everthing you loved from the old days is back with new cinemas as well. FF 5 is a good game though but...
