Final Fantasy Anthology (PS)

I purchased this game on release date after seeing it advertised on the official squaresoft website and also on online game websites such as gameplay. Final Fantasy Anthology (FFA) is two games in one, FF4 and FF5. These games are PSX releases of FF1 and FF2 for NES and SNES. The game features many extras that the old versions did not, including the bonus feature obtained for completing the game and the special FMV scenes that have been added in. The graphics. For the time they would have been good, the graphics for the cut scenes are still pretty good but they seem crap if, like me, you were used to the super smooth graphics of FF9. I now have all ...  Read the complete review

This is the history of the game and how it was developed: The basic concept was really a mythical idea of how the Earth came into being, with fire and water representing everything on Earth.

Classic Final fantasy good or bad? I say it’s brilliant, sure it’s got old Snes graphics, but game play is the most important part of a game. Final fantasy 5 is a very good game, you have this special job system, you can chose what your going to train to be, say a knight for example, but if you get board learning all of a knights skill’s you can train to be a mage.

What a fantastic idea to re-release final fantasy 4,5, and 6, on to the playstation from the old snes. I bought both when they came out and they kept me entertained for 50+ hours each, Square are genious. I started off with 6, which was the first one that I got, I thought that it was excellent, (now you know where they got all the monsters and music from for 7,8,and 9) The graphics are that from the snes but who cares...its still ace, this one track. (the one that Celes sings in Opera) stuck in my head for several weeks and the rest of the music is very good as well. Story is fantastic, love the fact that they include all the Espers ever ...  Read the complete review
