You can create Geomancers, Thieves, Monks, Ninjas, Knights, Time Mages, Hunters, Chemists and so on and so on.and you can combine different abilities with these jobs for even more customizable goodness! These two games are two of the best. This engine gives you unprecedented control over what your characters turn out to be. But what about FFV, that legendary Super Famicom RPG you always heard about but never got to play? FFV is most Final Fantasy aficionados' favorite chapter for this one reason: the fantastic job system. The characters are fantastic with their unique skills and powers, and the music, story line and just about everything else are unforgettable. Most of you already know, FFVI (FFIII) kicks enough ass on its own.
But if you don't mind the retro look, PLEASE check out these two epic RPGs. They're 16-Bit games, and outside of the new CG scenes, they still look it. Now, if you're so keen on graphics that you can't enjoy games that don't look good (you know who you are), you won't dig these two.
Let's go back to Final Fantasy V and VI, the two best games in the series.

FFV has the infamous "Job System" (seen in a different form in Final Fantasy Tactics) that allows you to customize your party completely.
Each of these titles has a unique game system used for developing characters. But don't be under the impression that these are two crusty games that can't hold their own against the polygon might of FFVI I or FFVIII. The two games in this anthology are faithful ports of the 16-Bit classics, with a few new features like full-motion video and an art gallery (for FFVI).

Well dummy, it's not that hard to figure out, but just realize this: Final Fantasy V is considered by many, including many our staffers, to be the finest chapter in the series, and Final Fantasy VI is considered by many to be the second finest chapter in the series (as FFIII, it ranked #9 on our Top 100 Best Games of All Time list). First, let's get this out of the way: Final Fantasy Anthology is a compilation of Final Fantasy V (a Super Famicom game that was never brought over to the U.S.), Final Fantasy VI (seen here on the Super Nintendo as Final Fantasy III) and a music CD with tunes from both titles.
