more of the teen group than the older game audiance, but it is a different expierence than most of the other final fantasy games, the new ability system is pretty great, the characters are enjoyful.

it looks childish in the start due to the fact the characters look short and act a little immature, but it is a great game recommended to everyone.

Final Fantasy Anthology

$108.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
with it's plot twists, numerous characters (14 in all) and the ability to be serious, funny and playable at the same time makes this game a classic.
from www.amazon.com
gameplay: this game is the first ff to have a long range of characters and hidden characters, and it is the first ff to allow you to switch them.

this game is all for the storyline and customization of it's characters.
from www.amazon.com
truly a sweet game but lacking a little creativity when it came to some of the characters, it is a game worth buying.

even though the two stories greatly intertwine, especially when the main characters from cross meet the trigger main character's spirits and are guided bythem to defeat the real plague of the earth,
from www.amazon.com
while the game has numerous playable characters, it still maintains a very good story, if you follow it closely, but at times, can become very confusing if you miss certain details.
from www.amazon.com
the many characters to choose from in this game was bashed by critics but i actually thought it was an amazing part of the game.
from www.amazon.com
the characters are kinda of goofy until you get farther in the game but there all interesting and you'll find it taxing choosing who too battle with.
from www.amazon.com
final fantasy, however it uses a totally different system.the game lets you choose from over 40 characters and their levels (?) do go up regardless of if they have participated in any battles or not.

from www.amazon.com
characters are really attacted to the game.other than the storyline itself there is a downfall to the game and thats the camera angles, it gets really annoying at times but you learn to cope with it.
from www.amazon.com
this game draws you in, it is one of the few games where you get completely attached to the characters and when the game is over you feel like one of your best friends just moved away.
from www.amazon.com
its a hard plot to figure out and there are surprises every where the characters are quite blocky and instead of cinimatics its got anime so it was a deffinate change from what im used to all in

then it was like when a three-year-old kid smacked by a bolder, when i played it and boy was i wrong!the plot, characters, and the whole feeling of the game is great.
from www.amazon.com
this game has a surface story of course, that you would learn in the manual, but as the game unfolds it's so much more...voice acting is great, characters are well-designed.
from www.amazon.com
this game has one of the best stories(this story is much better than the story of mgs2)i have ever played and it`s characters are so believable and realistic, you`d think that you were there on
from www.amazon.com
that illusion is of course helped by the fact that the game does everything it can to break the fourth wall, having you look outside of the game for information and having characters knowingly talk
from www.amazon.com
it becomes clear that mgs is more than just a game; it is a full-blown training in stealth and tactical espionage.with a load of new characters, enemies, and a few from the past ;) there is no doubt

Final Fantasy Chronicles

chrono trigger is probably the best rpg i've ever played (and yes, i've played ff7, and i loved it.) this game has characters and a story with true depth (something like 10 endings) and solid combat
from www.amazon.com
it's quite possible to finish the game with *any* combination of available characters.gameplay is, in my opinion, superior to that of any of the final fantasy games.
from www.amazon.com
if you love the melodrama and memorable characters of the ff series (or any square rpg for that matter), and you don't care about outdated graphics and sound, then pick this game up._____this review
