Item Description

For years, North American players knew only part of Final Fantasy's 16-bit story. Final Fantasy V never left Japan, and Final Fantasy VI reached the Super NES renamed as Final Fantasy III. Final Fantasy Anthology set both right in one PlayStation package in 1999, giving V its first official North American release and presenting VI under its original number, each on its own disc and each bookended by new CG cinematics.

Final Fantasy V is the series' great sandbox of party building. Bartz, Lenna, Galuf and Faris set out to protect the elemental Crystals from the sorcerer Exdeath, and the Job system lets you assign and swap more than twenty jobs, from Knight and Black Mage to Blue Mage, Dancer and Mimic. Abilities learned in one job carry into another, so a Knight who casts White Magic or a Monk who bends time is entirely possible, and much of the fun lies in finding combinations the game never spells out. It also introduced Gilgamesh, the swaggering swordsman whose fight on the Big Bridge fans still hum along to. This edition's translation famously renders the hero's name as Butz, a quirk longtime players still joke about.

Final Fantasy VI is the series' grand opera, quite literally in the sequence where Celes takes the stage. Its ensemble of fourteen playable characters, among them Terra, Locke, Edgar, Sabin, Cyan, Shadow and Setzer, stands against the Gestahl Empire and its Magitek armies, while the court mage Kefka grows from a cackling lackey into one of gaming's most chilling villains. Midway through, the story breaks its own world apart, and the scattered, desperate reunion that follows is still held up as a high-water mark for RPG storytelling. Nobuo Uematsu's music for both games ranks with the best work of his career.

The PlayStation versions keep the original sprite art, add the new cinematics and trade some speed for them with longer load times than the cartridges, a compromise that has become part of their character. For North American players, Anthology was the first chance to play Final Fantasy V without importing and to own VI under its true name, which gives it a real place in the series' Western history and makes it a superb way to play two of Square's 16-bit peaks on original PlayStation hardware.

About the game

Final Fantasy Anthology offers two games in one package for PlayStation. The European Edition contains Final Fantasy IV and V, which is different from the earlier released North American version that included Final Fantasy VI instead of Final Fantasy IV.
