Both of these games are classic RPGs. FF5 was never released in the U.S (you could get it if you had an emulator). The storyline in 5 is a little weak I thought, but the battle system, job system, and ability system give the game endless possibilities. You can have fun going through the game again using different combinations of jobs. If you have never played FF5 or FF6 prior to buying this anthology, play 5 first because it will set you up for 6. Now, onto FF6. I feel this is the best RPG ever. Though the modern Final Fantasies offer better graphics, bigger story lines, ect, FF6 is the greatest of all time. When it was released on the SNES as FF3, it was ground breaking. It blew everything out of the water with its interactive story line, personable characters, and awesome battle system. So for its time, FF6 is untouchable. The story line is linear, most of the time you know where you are supposed to be going and what you are supposed to be doing, but at the same time you are on your toes because you can't tell what will happen next. The music will blow you away to. It really adds to the effect of the game. FF6 is also a long game, first time I played it on the SNES, it took me 80hrs to beat. Once you know the game inside and out, you can do it in 20hrs. The difficulty is just right as well. Most people will be able to get through this game without having to get a guide. That's how an RPG should be. It should make you think, but not make you have to look up answers on the net or in a guide. If you are an RPG fan, and have PS1 or PS2, buy this game. They are becoming collector's items. I bought mine used for 40 bucks (in nice condition). That's a pretty steep price, so just imagine how much it will be in a year or so.
