I've adored FFVI since it was released as FF3 in North America. I also loved everything I heard about FFV, so I bought Anthology when I found it. I haven't regretted it for one minute. If you like true RPGs then you will love this set.
FFV is amazing. You can probably find storyline summaries, so I'll just say that the graphics were state-of-the-art in their time, the storyline is great compared to some of the more modern Final Fantasies, the characters are cute (although Faris' pirate accent can get on your nerves), the music is fantastic, and the job system is the best ability system in any FF to date, IMHO.
I ran into a problem on the Save screen on my PS2, but I went into the menu and changed the Disc Speed (I run a PS2 Slim, on PS2 original I believe it's under the PS1 driver menu) which not only cuts the loading times by an amazing amount (it's almost like you're playing it on a cartridge again!) but it also makes the save screen pop up normally more often for me. If you can't get it to appear normally, just remember that the three selections are Memo, Slot 1 and Slot 2 from top to bottom. Make sure your mem card is formatted so you don't get confused when you try to save and it doesn't. Then just go to the selection you want and press X, then X again (or, if you want to use multiple save spots, you can press Down after you press X the first time, just make sure you're not overwriting any of your other save files that you might want to keep!)
FFVI is one of the greatest RPGs ever, possibly even one of the best games ever. The characters are interchangeable and interact with each other in certain situations (even giving you cut-scenes if you have certain people in your party together), the enemies (well, Kefka, at least) are almost believable, and you can't help but feel with the characters going through the storyline. The graphics were the best possible on the SNES/SuperFamicom console, and the music is perfect throughout.
The CD included has a lot of nice music on it, although I would have loved to have heard the music from, for example, Celes' opera. Even so, there are a few themes on here worth listening to, such as The Dungeon, Mambo de Chocobo, Phantom Train, Johnny C. Bad, and Epitaph.
All in all, definitely a 5 Star set.

This review is basically for FF VI. It was actually FF III when I first played it. Anyway, this game is awesome. Its what first got me into playing video games. The story is very good. There's a lot of different characters that you get to play with. It has 2 player option when your battling. The only real flaw is the graphics. But it came out a long time ago so you really can't expect it to be to mind blowing in the graphics department. Other then that, awesome game. I only played FF V for a little bit. It seemed to be pretty cool. Didn't set up the story for the game very well though. And there seemed to be some bugs in it as well. Or in my disc there was. I had to keep saving so when it did mess up I wouldn't have to start over. I never did play all the way through V though so not sure how good it actually is.....The music disc sucks....Unless your into jamming out to old school FF music. Good music for the game, not so much though for sitting around listening to it...

see i have discovered one thing about final fantasy players, they all just love the first one, it doesnt matter wich one was, unless it really sucked like x-2, i played the VIII first and i think it is the best one of all, but everyone that played the VII first say that that one is the best, ok now that i explained that lets talk obout this game. It is great see from 4 to 8 final fantasy the saga was awesome,from 1 to 3 it was pretty good, but from 9 to X-2 it has been losing a lot of potencial, they have started to fill cd and dvds with great graphics but no great strory line, they have lost a lot in the last years on that side, in this pack it is the number 5 and 6 , six is one of the best one of the saga, it has a great story line, great graphics fot gba, is a long story so that you really get to know the game and characters, and a very challenging game, the final fantasy V is also preety good , it has a lot of the six one on it but it wasnt developed as well, so i will recomend this game to anyone that is loking for a old school final fantasy.

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). FF7, FF9, and FF10 are also very good, but FF6 got the RPG formula perfect: Great characters, great story, great battle system. If I had to sell all my RPGs, FF6 is the one I would keep & play over-and-over.
As for FF5, the story is rather weak, but the gameplay is really really good, thanks to the job system (like FF10-2). What I like to do with FF5 is to experiment:
- What if I had 4 white mages?
- What if I had 4 black mages?
- What if I had 4 fighters?
- Would I survive the battles w/ such weak teams?
Thanks to its job system, FF5 has a great deal of replayability. Even after you beat the game, you can go back and replay with a completely different team, and new complications (trust me, beating this game with 4 black mages is NOT easy).
Bottom Line: Buy Final Fantasy 5/6 right now. If you're like me, you'll cherish it forever.

when the name final fantasy on a game box meant something. final fantasy 3(6) represents the best square has ever put out. don't get me wrong, i enjoyed ff1, ff7 and 9 too. i cant speak for ffx2, or 11, as i haven't played them. square, if you are thinking about how to make your next ff, create something as good as ff3(or even just close) and your fans will love you for it. i am glad ff has come to the gamecube, but lets be serious, crystal chronicles is weak...very weak. online capability is ok too, but the strongest point of a good rpg should always be single player. i know that you can make a good game square/enix, you have it in you, so please do us a favor and no more ff10's or crystal chronicles. sorry about the spiel, i highly recommend this anthology, ps2er's(or ps1) shouldnt be without it.
