Final Fantasy Anthology

$108.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
to playstation was so bad that the game was practically unplayable.ffv and ffvi don't have the same action feel as newer games, and they don't have the addictive quality that newer games have.
from www.amazon.com
the additional music cd isn't great, but it doesn't detract from the quality of the set at all.
from www.amazon.com
the story gets a bit melodramatic at times, and the music isn't as memorabvle as other ff soundtracks, but all in all it's most attractive quality is it's difficulty.
from www.amazon.com
the music cd included has all the memorable ffv and vi tunes, but it is only snes quality, therefore easy to ignore.
from www.amazon.com
however, the newly added cg movie sequences that were put into the game as an opening sequence are stunning, and the graphics for vi were ps1 quality at some parts.

Final Fantasy IX

$20.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the graphics are the best i have seen on the playstation...proving that the developers and game designers are still pushing the envelope and trying to deliver a quality product.
from www.amazon.com
however, the game is full of fmvs and they're just as impressive as you could wish.like viii, ix featured a song; it was pretty enough, with a lullabye sort of quality, but didn't quite reach the
from www.amazon.com
granted, its graphic quality isn't as great as 12 and the upcoming 13, but storyline, and just truly feeling pulled into the game, makes this game the best.
from www.amazon.com
instead, what you will find is a simply well-made, enjoyable game.there has been lots of controversy over the quality of the playstation final fantasy games, and my interpretation of this will be no
from www.amazon.com
this game diserves a 5 star quality.

Xenogears for PlayStation 1

$146.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the story felt like reading a great science fiction and its philosophical, even religious, quality made it that much more mysterious and intriguing.
from www.amazon.com
the story of the game rivals, if not beats, the quality of that of a novel.
from www.amazon.com
but many of the songs tend to repeat all too often and the quality of the midi samples could have been much better.
from www.amazon.com
and the anime cut scenes to bring the story along are as smooth and detalied as any quality animation.
from www.amazon.com
my favorites are typically those made by squaresoft, due to quality in the visual effects and engrossing storyline.

Metal Gear Solid

$140.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
its rare that this game had sucha movie like quality and i think thats why i love it so much.
from www.amazon.com
another fabulous quality of this game is that there are many secrets to be revealed, even after beatong the game 2 or 3 times.
from www.amazon.com
this game has a movie-quality storyline.
from www.amazon.com
the production values and quality of this game are tremendous.
from www.amazon.com
the voice quality isn't bad for a game as old as this one and the moves and strategy you can use are all immensely helpful (as opposed to some games that give you neat moves that have absolutely no

Final Fantasy Chronicles

$16.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.crutchfield.com
great quality sound!
from www.crutchfield.com
this speaker was alot more than i expected, instalation was a snap and the sound quality is excellent.
from www.amazon.com
the graphics are suprememly outdated, and so is the sound quality, but that doesn't change much when it comes to this game...quite possibly the greatest ff of all time!
from www.amazon.com
well as could be expected - the music and graphics sound crude in this era of polygons, fmv (full-motion-video) and synth game music that sounds like the real thing, but the quality is still evident.
from www.amazon.com
things.now for the downside(s).the fmv intro for ffiv is above average for the industry, which is to say it's a pathetic effort by square, especially considering the quality of their other works.

Chrono Cross

$28.00 Est. at Amazon

from tewghi, www.shopping.com
the bottom line: the graphics, music, storyline, and sheer quality of chrono cross is enough to make any owner of the playstation squeal with joy.
from www.amazon.com
it definetly has the quality of a ff game only even better than certain ff's in my opinion.
from www.amazon.com
it's a quality game, there's no doubt; we shouldn't expect anything less from the greatest rpg developers on earth.
from www.amazon.com
logic, but i still got hours of entertainment out of this title.cross's best features are the gameplay, rich story lines, loads of characters that you can add to your party, and it's replay quality.
from www.amazon.com
from beginning to end, this game blows away the competition and deliveres the highest quality of gaming out of any rpg ever.

Vampire Hunter D

$44.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
but afterwards, i reflected upon it and realized that although it's definately a classic, it isn't much of a keeper.to judge the quality of the animation of "vampire hunter d" to the newer movie,
from www.amazon.com
i do recommend seeing this first - it is both the earlier film and chronologically earlier in the story of "d", and it seems to me to make "bloodlust"s improvements in animation quality even better.
from www.amazon.com
another quality the 1985 film has going for it are the powerful characters.
from www.amazon.com
d is one of the best of those originals.this anime is not much compared to what today can offer in terms of story depth and quality animation, but for something that is about 19 years old, this is
from www.amazon.com
the dubbing is fair and the overall quality of the film is very high.

Final Fantasy Origins

$48.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
there is much better sound and quality of the game and it includes final fanatsy ii, which was never released in america.final fantasy i:graphics 3.5/5
from www.amazon.com
it's not upgraded enough to lose that old school appeal(that's a very good thing), but it gets rid of those sloppy old nes graphics and bring them up to more of an snes-quality.
from www.amazon.com
as far as quality, both games are just exactly as i remembered them.
from www.amazon.com
they are both good, quality games that can please both casual and hardcore games alike.
from www.amazon.com
the graphics have even been updated to "16 bit" quality.

Final Fantasy VIII

$33.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.shopping.com
the bottom line: a quality game which lives up to its high quality predecessors.
from www.shopping.com
music quality improved, sound, gaming system
from www.amazon.com
was set by the same composer in final fantasy vi (iii in the states), and it seems that if subsequent games' soundtracks don't meet or exceed ff vi's, then it is not considered of high quality.
from www.amazon.com
very impressed by the quality of the product and delivered in perfect condition.
from www.amazon.com
there were some scenes where you're just blown away by the sheer quality and beauty of it all.

from www.amazon.com
the graphics are great (even the backgrounds), movies have amazing 3-d quality.this game is a must-have for all fans of the fighting genre and people who just like great games.
from www.amazon.com
the graphics here are really not that different in quality from x-men ma2 (actually, the backgrounds in x-men are more dynamic).
from www.amazon.com
the quality of the graphics, the fluidity and the endless gaming options makes this incredibly addictive.
from www.shopping.com
pros: amazing graphics, smooth flowing movement, the control unsurpassed, sound quality superb, variations in moves and attacks compare to the pages in the bible cons: some of the greatest moves

Final Fantasy Tactics

$105.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the game with those three faults is still a five star product in my eyes and seeing how long it has been since it was released in my opinion that says alot about the quality put into this game.
from www.amazon.com
despite that, the quality of this game is very well in step with the series, and in terms of depth, difficulty and plot this may well be the best entry.
from www.amazon.com
the soundtrack takes up 2 cds and to listen to all of the tracks separate from the game amazes with the shear quantity and quality of every song.
from Wraith525, www.shopping.com
pros: excellent sound quality and music, high challenge cons: somewhat short, battles can get repetitive for some people

Spyro: The Dragon

$43.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i'm very reluctant to try the new spyro game for ps2, or to buy the spyro games available for xbox because spyro games have stooped to such a low quality i'm afraid to play them.
from www.amazon.com
any place trying to match this in quality is in for the challenge of their lives!

Dragon Warrior VII

$130.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
game is similar in it's graphics and gameplay.the dragon warrior series is the only one that even comes close to rivalling final fantasy, not only in the volume of games, but the quality of them.
from www.amazon.com
dragon warrior 7 is yet another reason to remember why in an era where graphics often sell a game, quality gameplay is still the most important of any feature.
from www.amazon.com
they still sport the bright, lower-quality color depths seen with previous iterations of the dragon warrior saga.
from www.amazon.com
for players who liked "vandal hearts", this game is similar in it's graphics and gameplay.the dragon warrior series is the only one that even comes close to rivalling final fantasy, not only in the

Dance Revolution: Konamix

$34.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
if you start to get good at the game & play often, it's worth it to get a quality dance pad - i suggest redoctane.com.
from www.amazon.com
don't get a cheap pad, it is worthwhile to have some cushion under the feet--and have some extra quality in the wiring to endure all the repeated pressure from dancing.
from www.amazon.com
the graphics are less than the quality of the first crash bandicoot, the music is a watered down version of previous games excellent scores, and the games are completely unimaginative.

Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain

from www.amazon.com
the story may be difficult for some to take because of the sinister quality of the characters and their moral values, but it is worth it for the sheer enjoyabilty of the tale.
from www.amazon.com
the music is equally as enthraling, with a mixture of orchestral quality dynamics, and haunting sounds that will stay with you long after the game is turned off.
