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.

Amazon.com

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

My copies work, but they are not legitimate.

My copies work, but they are not legitimate.
These are good games, certainly. Final Fantasy V is a hidden gem I had not played previously and I've been enjoying the lighthearted adventure and robust job system. The unique sprites each character has for their jobs keeps up the visual variety as well as the huge amount of ability customization possible with each character using the abilities of other jobs in conjunction with the job they currently hold. Final Fantasy VI is the more popular classic of the pair and is probably what sells people on this collection in the first place. However it's not the games themselves leading me to write this review.This is the first time I purchased Playstation 1 games on Amazon (I had purchased this, Chrono Cross, and Final Fantasy Origins together) and I was disappointed to find out that even though the discs read and work like any other, these are NOT official copies of the games!A legit Playstation 1 game has a black bottom as opposed to the silver bottom you typically see on CDs and DVDs. These discs have a silver bottom. Reproductions such as these are typically referred to as 'HKs' [Hong Kong silvers] as they are usually printed and shipped from Hong Kong, but of course they can come from anywhere.Despite the fact that these are not legitimate copies of the game, this knock-off functions just fine and I have been merrily working my way through the Final Fantasy V campaign. Just to check I also put in the Final Fantasy VI disc and it indeed reads and plays.If you just want to play these good old games, you'll get what you want, just don't be disappointed if you find yourself purchasing a functional fake, which seems to be the norm with Playstation 1 games on Amazon. The stars are for the games themselves, but I've had to "knock off" credit due to the fact these are not legitimate copies and nowhere on the page does it say that these are reproductions.
Thank you for your feedback

Reviewed in Mexico on January 31, 2022
Es Enero 2022 y es muy grato encontrar stock de juegos de PSone, si no son completistas al momento de coleccionar y a su vez le dan uso a sus juegos que coleccionan vale mucho la pena ya que su precio es justo por un juego a estrenar y más siendo de una plataforma descontinuada, los CDs ya no son negros son como los de Sega Saturn o CD de música sin embargo son de buena calidad, como los demás comentarios la queja más que las cajas de acrílico es el embalaje que no se cersioran de que vaya bien para evitar romperse, al parecer esto nunca a mejorado pero tienen que tenerlo en cuanta a la hora de comprarlo ya que si son muy delicados en ese sentido es muy probable que lleguen con algún detalle como a mi pero nada que lamentar, anexo fotos en la publicación para que se den una idea.
