Changes
Edit
Anthology included several changes to the games, the most noticeable ones being the CGI openings and closings. 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. In addition, Squall Leonhart occasionally makes an appearance on the title screen (of VI), in sprite form.
Music from FFV and FFVI video gamesEdit

Added by KeltainentoukokuuThe disc titled "Music from FFV and FFVI video games" is included in the original North American release of Final Fantasy Anthology and contains selected music Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy VI. The "Greatest Hits" version of Final Fantasy Anthology does not include the music CD. All the music on the CD is taken directly from the original soundtracks to their respective games, and are identical to the songs found on their respective soundtracks.
ReactionEdit
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.
