Final Fantasy Anthology is a compilation of Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy VI for the Sony PlayStation. The European edition comes with remakes of Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy V. It came out in the US in 1999 while the European Edition was released in 2002.
[edit] Changes
Anthology included several changes to the games. Most noticeable were the CGI openings and closings to the games. In addition, Final Fantasy VI included an Omake Mode which included the following features:
- Cinematics Theater
- Concept Art
- Bestiary
- Dragon's Neck Colosseum Bet/Fight/Win List
- Esper List
- List of Strago's Lores
Most of the features require the player to beat the game once before viewing them, but the Cinematics Theater, Concept Art, and Bestiary all can be accessed from the beginning, although only half of the features in said categories can be accessed at that point.
[edit] Reaction
In general, the added loading times were complained about, and most people did not feel that the Omake Mode was enough to make up for it. Review scores for the collection were generally lower than those for the individual games.
