Those who think VI sucked obviously have no taste and should be banned from RPGs.  VI is by far the best RPG ever. While it doesn't have the graphics of the latest installments to the series (remember it was originally released for SNES and the graphics were top of the line back then)it still overcomes all others though the incredible storyline and something most playstation games lack, replay value.  Another thing I love is the style of magic use.  Although it does not remaing true to the originals, where only mages can use magic, it allows your characters to permenantly learn spells unlike VII with that highly annoying materia ... .  The spells and espers/summons are incredible.  Enter Ultima.  Numerous secrets keep you coming back for more.  I could write a book on how awesome this game is, but I will let you find out for yourself.  As for V, a good game, not quite up to the caliber of the others.  I love it simply because it holds the Final Fantasy name, but I do feel that it is definately worth playing.  It is a different storyline in the FF world with fairly interesting characters.  All in all FF Anthology is a must buy!
