Product Description
Final Fantasy Anthology incorporates two of the most beloved FINAL FANTASY titles ever published. First released as FINAL FANTASY III in the U.S., FINAL FANTASY VI brings back all of the qualities that made it the best selling RPG of its time, and adds a few bonuses unique to this re-release. The second title in this compilation, FINAL FANTASY V, is seeing its first ever release in the U.S. Featuring an innovative 'Job' system and a story that will take the player to different worlds, this title will finally show U.S. gamers what they have been missing. If you are new to the FINAL FANTASY universe, pick up Anthology as way of getting to know the series that has garnered the praise of millions. If you are already a fan, pick it up to relive the magic once again.

Editorial Review
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.

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

Pros:

  • Brand-new animated movies
  • Reissues Final Fantasy VI, one of the best RPGs ever
  • Lots of supplementary material for Final Fantasy VI
Cons:
  • Dated graphics and sounds may bother some gamers
  • The previously unreleased Final Fantasy V may as well have stayed unreleased

Everything went as advertised. Product was delivered before expected time and was in perfect condition. Will do business with Hitgaming and Amazon again.

Where is Final Fantasy 6? It only came with 5. Also five doesn't work well. It freezes, graphics mess up and music lags. Horrible product and even worse missing an item!

First off, this is reveiw of ff6 in ffa. FF6 is my personal favorite of the cartrige-era FF titles. I bought FFA on a whim and am glad I did so. The first time I went through it, my memory card said 40 hours. While the disc-accasse times are at times unbearable, I worked around by using a ps2 and seleted the fast load option. Once you finish the game you will unlock FF6 artwork and the sound test. The feture I appecated the most was how you could memo-file(softsave) your game in progress.


5 out of 5 stars MUST HAVE for RPG LOVERS   February 3, 2010
Denise R. Mason (Allegany, NY)
These 2 games are great if you like older rpg. I have the PS one games and my grandson has the Nindendo DS versions. The games have good stories and characters. The enemies are tough at times. It is your classic menu battle system and requires time to level up characters. Very enjoyable. Would highly recommend you try these is you like the older games. All the Final Fantasy series games are great, in my opinion, until you get to the PS 2, when I feel they start to lose some of the enjoyment and quality.

Overall, it is a must have for collectors such as I.
I honestly think that anyone would find this to be a valuable asset to their collection, because it's not just a classic;it's a great game originating from one of the most legendary game series ever: Final Fantasy.
So yes, if it is value you aim for, you've come to the right review, because this game is just good. Period.
