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
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.

Rating:  - Gamers get two of the deepest, greatest RPGs ever created
Gamers get two of the deepest, greatest RPGs ever created for less than the price of a single new game - it's hard to argue with that sort of value. Whether you've waited five years for Final Fantasy V or just finished your first Final Fantasy, the Final Fantasy Anthology is sure to entertain. Jody Bissoon

If you are a fan of the Final Fantasy series then you really need this one. both games are intensely fun. if you want more original graphics with a few cg movies thrown in then this is for you. but i have a feeling they will be releasing both of these games for the DS if that suits you better.
Rating:  - Great Classic
One of the best final fantasy to hit the US its gripping from the very start. Its a game to remind one why final fantasy is such a hit.
Rating: - Good old school fun
Good old school fun, if you can get past the graphics from the early 90's.
Rating: - A Superb Release
Not much to say here that hasn't already been said in the other reviews. Final Fantasy VI is a phenomenal game, and despite Amazon's paltry reviews of V, I believe it's also a very solid and fun game. The only complaint I have is that V wasn't given many bonus features; just an intro FMV, nothing additional like with VI.
Finally, the music disc included is pathetic. Not even worth the time. Spring for the OSV's of both games, if you're that interested in it.
