Final Fantasy Anthology for PlayStation 1

Pros: Great gameplay, long games, and good music
Cons: Newer gamers might be put off by the old 16 bit graphics

Think you're a die-hard Final Fantasy fan just because you've beaten Final Fantasy 7 and 8? Guess again, my friends, because there were no less than 6 installments of this seminal RPG series before the two PSX games were ever even dreamed of. And now,...

Pros: 2 old school classics for the PS1
Cons: bugs when it comes to playing it on the PS2.

I got FF Anthologies several years ago has it contain both FF 5 and FF6 two games I hadn’t tried, went home beat 5, waited a year to beat 6 and reviewed 6, waited another year to sit down and play 5 again so I can write this review. Both are good Final ...

Pros: Two excellient games for the price of one
Cons: Odd loading times

Ah the wonderful, wonderful world of Final Fantasy. Ever since the original game was released here and in Japan it seems everyone and their mother jumped into the series very quickly, considering it was the first true Role –Playing to ever be released....

Pros: FF V never before released, fairly good soundtrack, FF VI was excellent.
Cons: FF V butchered Faris' translation, long loading times.

Many of the 'no-schoolers' have always wanted to play a true old-school RPG, but have never had the chance to do so because of the rarity of the SNES and it's games in the 21st century. Many people have been disappointed because the games were...

Pros: Final Fantasy V finally translated to English, soundtrack of selected musics, new CGI intros and endings
Cons: Final Fantasy V translated poorly, soundtrack's selection is poor and takes the space that should be Final Fantasy IV, dated graphics, inexplicable load times, tinny sound, slowdown on FFVI

When I first got my computer in the summer of '98, the first thing I looked for was an import store so I could get a Super Famicon converter just so I could play Final Fantasy V, even though I can't read Japanese. As most people who followed the...

Pros: both classic Final Fantasy games, especially the Japanese game Final Fantasy V
Cons: the soundtrack, a bit sluggish

(I have once submitted a review for the Final Fantasy Anthology, but I was never satisfied with its quality. This is a completely new review I have written, inspired by the fact that I've played the Anthology today.)

I am a fanatic...

Pros: Final Fantasy 5 is finally released here, strong game play, well-constructed system
Cons: No Final Fantasy 4, neither game was the strongest in the series.

Do you remember, in 1990, when Nintendo held the Nintendo World Championships/Powerfest? It was basically a Nintendo-sponsored tournament, and in addition to competitions, there was a section devoted to new games to be shortly released. The one that...

Pros: Really good bang for the buck.
Cons: Dated look and feel, only get if you're willing to deal with that.

At first, when us testers found out about this getting released, we were all really stoked.

Then we had to test it.

It wasn't the worst experience we've had, but it comes close. Has anyone EVER gotten the triple 7s to show up on...

Pros: 2 Great games in one package
Cons: 2 great old games in one expensive package

Final Fantasy is the best it never makes me blue

As we all know Square makes these great games run
Also the games are the best and really fun

This game comes with two cd's one for Final Fantasy 5...

Pros: Squaresoft's Masterpiece Games
Cons: Battles lag slightly

Squaresoft is my favorite game making company. It was Squaresoft's Final Fantasy Series that got me into RPGs (Role-playing Games). The first one I played was Final Fantasy IV (or II in the USA). My friend had lent it to me and I was hooked. I was...

Pros: Two Classic Games For the Price of One, New Cinemas
Cons: Final Fantasy V isn't up to Par

After the extreme success of it's Final Fantasy series on the Playstation Squaresoft has re-released Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy VI in a collectors package Final Fantasy Anthology. This package has new cinemas to accompany the games and a music CD...

Pros: Great storylines, awesome music, evokes ALOT of emotions.
Cons: Has the original SNES graphics and sounds (if you think that is a CON).

Pros: good
Cons: excellent

It was only through a chance occurrence that I got my hands on Final Fantasy II. I was at a store trading in an old game and as fate would have it, the only thing I could get for Darius Twin was Final Fantasy II (FF2). I didn't want to do it, but thanks...

Pros: Two Great Games, hours of play, good new CGI sequences and other features
Cons: Should have included final fantasy 4, could get everything from the internet, including games.

Final Fantasy Anthology is a compilation of Final Fantasy 5 and Final Fantasy 6, two of the three Final Fantasy games to grace the Super Nintendo System. Along with the games are opening and closing movies which could not have been done on the Super...

Pros: Comes with Final Fantasy 3....enough said
Cons: slow down can be annoying

Growing up, I have a vivid memory of playing all the Final Fantasy games that were released in the United States (and the ones that weren't thanks to emulation). Remember this fact however, when one of us FF fanatics tell you that FF3 was the best (FF3...
