Game Description
Final Fantasy Anthology is SquareSoft’s grand celebration of two of the most influential RPGs ever created—Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy VI—brought together in one essential collection for the PlayStation 1. Released in 1999, this compilation allowed North American players to experience the legendary Super Nintendo classics that helped define the role-playing genre. Both games feature epic storytelling, deep customization systems, and unforgettable soundtracks by Nobuo Uematsu, all presented with enhanced FMV sequences created exclusively for this release.
In Final Fantasy V, players embark on a globe-spanning quest to protect the world’s elemental crystals, using the acclaimed Job System to freely customize each character’s class and abilities. The freedom to mix and master skills introduced unprecedented depth and replayability, setting a standard for character progression in future RPGs. Meanwhile, Final Fantasy VI delivers one of gaming’s most powerful narratives—a sweeping steampunk epic of rebellion, loss, and redemption featuring one of the most memorable villains in video game history, Kefka Palazzo. Its ensemble cast and emotional storytelling remain benchmarks for RPG design decades later.
Together, these masterpieces embody SquareSoft’s golden age of creativity, combining heart, adventure, and innovation. Final Fantasy Anthology not only preserves two of the greatest RPGs of all time but also presents them with new cinematic flair and collectible appeal. For fans and collectors alike, this anthology is an indispensable part of PlayStation and RPG history—a definitive portal to the roots of fantasy gaming excellence.
