Final Fantasy Collection
Review by DDCecil
I'm not talking about the graphics when I mean
enhancements, I mean the movies and the ability to run. That's
right! You can run! Watch Cecil sprint! Put sprint shoes on Celes
and mega run! Butz and the thief ability to sprint super speed
also! The movies are awe-inspiriring! Especially FFVI's finale!
Graphics: 10/10 - I grew up on these graphics, and I prefer them
over these polygon things of today. Music: 10000000/10 - The
music is the best! The opera scene music is still great, and each
of the game's final boss theme! Woo hoo! I could listen to it
over and over and never get bored! (Playing in my head right now:
FFIV (2 to us Americans) boss theme). I can not stress how great
the music is and always will be. I can't think of any RPG that
has better "cartridge" music (Chron... naaaah!)
Gameplay: 9.9/10 - Run Cecil, Run! The best enhancement ever in
an RPG! FFV and VI now have fading battle intros. FFV uses the FF
VII one, while FF VI does a "top and bottom door
closing" kind of thing. When you are running away from
battles, it does take forever (especially when you are escaping
the floating continent!) That's about my only complaint about the
whole game. Oh, and its an import and in japanese. A little
drawback for some of us. Use this game as a japanese learning
tool! My first word I learned was su-per-ba-l using a katakana
chart. It was great.
Story: 10/10 - 3 classic stories, that would
make excellent movies in thier own right. I'd watch them! Or
books! I'd read them (I always wanted to write a book called FF
II: Crusade of the Crystals)! The opening movies and ending
movies also tell the greatness of the stories.
Overall: 10/10 -
Buy it now, as it went waaay down in price! I paid $83 bucks for
mine, now they sell it for about $55. Or wait and get the
American one (but miss out on the best FF ever, FF IV (2 once
again.)). Let's now hope that they bring out FF 1 through 3 in
another collection with improved graphics.
Reviewer's Score: 10 / 10
