Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 2 great Final Fantasies from the SNES era
These 2 games are probably (in my opinion anyway) the best ones in the series. I will review each game seperatly then make my comments on the collection itself.

FF5: One of the previously unreleased FF games (at the time anyway) is now in America. I really like choosing classes because it does to raise the replay value through the roof. I literally trained my characters (this is during the between the beginning and the middle of the game) to get to level 30 or 40 (can't remember exactly) just to get my jobs mastered. the storyline is good as well because unlike some of the other FF games, this one sticks with the one you need to get rid of (X-Death) rather than fighting the final battle against someone that you have no clue on what makes that character so evil and why your fighting him/her instead of the one who is destroying the world. the bad thing about this game is the lack of characters (there's only 5 in the entire game, you stick with 4, one of them dies and is replaced with his granddaughter) so be prepared to look at the same 4 characters on the screen and also not having a menu to change characters.

FF6: I think this is the best one in the series. there is absolutly no real "Main" character in this game. For those who are confused, what I mean is that, well for example, FF7 you have about 9 characters but the leader character is Cloud (the one you see and control in the fields in the majority of the game), well in this game you can have 4 different characters in your party and you have the ability to put in any character as the leader. The characters are excellent in this game, I pretty much like all of them (Gau is funny, but he doesn't have the best abilities and one of the secret characters you can't even control them at all during battle). Sabin having the Blitz ability. for those of you who have been playing fighting games for years will have a pretty good understanding of this but sadly when you make a move, no matter which direction your facing, you still hae to put in that same command in the same direction. for instance, one of the moves is RLR (I am talking about Right Left Right on the control pad) and if your character is facing to the right, then you have to insert that command, but if you are facing the opposite direction, it is still the same command (not the opposite combination). when I first beat the game, before beating it, I got all of the characters to level 99. This game also has some of the best music for a FF game (at the time anyway).

the collection itself: you get a music CD, the random battle screen is like FF7 and 8's random battle loading screen, FF6 has a bonus menu for looking at stats on enemies, has CGI cinemas, FF5 is pretty much like the Super NES (or should I say Super Famicom) version with just the exception of Random Battle loading screens and PSone style Opening Cinema and no extra bonuses because the game was never released in the USA and Square probably wanted people to experience it without a huge bunch of bonus features.

overall: If you like the SNES FF games, this is the right collection for you (Along with Chronicles which includes FF4 (FF2 in the USA for the SNES) and Chrono Trigger)



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An awesome game!
I had heard of how amazing Final Fantasy VI was supposed to be. So, I thought, I have to get this game, even if to just fill out my Final Fantasy collection.

First off, I will start with V. I had heard from many sources that this game wasn't very good. I, in fact, find it just as good as VI!

VI is just as good as I was expecting. It's funny, and has very memorable characters and dialog.

My only problem with the two games is that there is a bit of a lag. The lag is not bad at all in V, but is pretty noticable in VI. While, it was a minor inconvience to me, most people may find it more irritating.
Don't get me wrong,I don't think the lag is enough to actually mess you up, but it can get a little annoying.

Overall, I got two great games for the price of one bargain game. I must say, I am completely satisfied.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Good Investment
Two great RPG's in one package. Playstation owners who began Final Fantasy with the 7th installment can finally see what all the hype is about with VI. Final Fantasy V is also a great game, the first in the series where you spend alot of time in the menu combining abilities with accessories/equipment to customize your characters.

The only downside is the short load times when entering battles/opening the menu/entering new levels. However, these never last more than a few seconds.

Whether you're discovering the SNES generation of Final Fantasy for the first time or re-visiting the classics, Final Fantasy Anthology offers a great gaming experience that you can only get on a console.
