Talk:Final Fantasy Anthology

American vs European
Should these be the same article? It seems not to me, due to the anthology including different games for the two regions. - shuri 30 June 2005 21:35 (UTC)


 * Honestly, I don't see the point. The article is currently only just larger than a stub, and splitting it would only serve to create two articles that we'd be hard-pressed to make into anything other than stubs. Besides, there's a whole paragraph on Final Fantasy V here that applies to both versions, and so we'd either end up duplicating content or requiring people looking for information on the European version to look at the American version article anyway (or vice versa). The distinction is outlined pretty prominently in the intro paragraph, and that seems sufficient to me. Just because we can split an article doesn't mean we should, IMO. – Seancdaug June 30, 2005 23:37 (UTC)


 * Did the European version contain anything like Final Fantasy Anthology - Music From FFV And FFVI as the American version did? ~ Hibana 19:05, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Comment
Final Fantasy Anthology has FFV and FFVI in North America, while the European release had FFIV and FFV in there. I have heard from some reviewers that FFVI has uncensored graphics. Is that true? I have also heard that FFVI's graphics, sound and gameplay remained unchanged from the original version. What are the changes in the NA release?Sjones23 02:08, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Cross split
Is there any way this article could be split up into the different games that it includes? Thoughts? Judgesurreal777 06:18, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

> Its just way too small to think about it. Best right now, I think, is to just get rid of it and to incorporate it into the articles for the base games (FFIV, V, VI...) and once somebody finds out more about the development and such of these games, then split them again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.172.52.41 (talk • contribs) 04:39, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * A redirect to a slightly expanded List of Final Fantasy titles could perhaps be clearer for readers, given how much the names and the content of those compilations change between countries. Kariteh 12:52, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Gameplay section expansion
Just thought about putting it here first in order to not mess things up:


 * The gameplay in both Final Fantasy V and VI use many standard role-playing elements; characters grow in strength by gaining experience points from random encounters with monsters on the overworld or in a dungeon. Experience culminates in a "level up" in which party members' attributes, such as hit points or magic power, increase. Like previous Final Fantasy installments, the games consist of four basic modes of gameplay: an overworld map, town and dungeon field maps, a battle screen, and a menu screen. The overworld map is a scaled-down version of the game's fictional world, which the player uses to direct characters to various locations.


 * Active Time Battle (ATB) system, in which time flows continuously for both the player and enemies during combat.


 * Final Fantasy V uses the Job system while keeping a predetermined amount of characters in the party at all times, whereas Final Fantasy VI has a large number of playable characters which often leave and reenter the party, or the large party splits up and you must play through the segment as that party, then switch to another, then the other, etc.

As you may see, it's mostly some chunks of the gameplay sections of the respective games thrown in plus a correction on the last paragraph. So... should this be in? LightFlare (talk) 08:04, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, put it in. Ffgamera (talk) 02:26, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
