Final Fantasy VI characters and storyline are a high mark for the entire genre. Final Fantasy VI marks the series' turn towards more mature storylines and well-developed characters. Over 14 characters join your party - the most of any Final Fantasy game - and they have their own story, :biggrin: motivations, and side quests. Final Fantasy VI is an absolutely massive RPG, and even a skilled player will take 40 to 50 hours to uncover all of its secrets. Final Fantasy VI lacks the detailed system of Final Fantasy V but more than compensates with its large number of unique characters. Each party member has a special technique to use in battle. Sabin the bruiser has Street Fighter-style button combinations; Cyan has his sword techniques; Terra the half-Esper can morph into a more-powerful form, and so forth. :wink: You are encouraged to frequently switch party members and sample everything the characters have to offer. The gameplay remains rock solid, but the graphics appear dated and old-fashioned. Fantasy VI features an mode with a monster encyclopedia, battle history, and art gallery. The games themselves are untouched from their original SNES incarnations; aside from the bit of load time here and there, you might as well be playing the original cartridges. The one included extra is an OSV soundtrack of songs reportedly culled from a survey of Square Soft fans. Unfortunately, the survey results posted at Square's web site show that fans' votes were entirely ignored, and the music disc contains as many stinkers as it does glaring omissions. :cOol: Mediocre packaging and emulation quirks aside, it's hard not to like Final Fantasy Anthology. Gamers get two of the deepest, greatest RPGs ever created for less than the price of a single new game - it's hard to argue with that sort of value. Whether you've waited five years for Final Fantasy VI or just finished your first Final Fantasy, the Final Fantasy VI is sure to entertain.
