The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

About

Final Fantasy Anthology is a North American compilation of Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy VI for the Sony PlayStation. The European edition comes with a port of Final Fantasy IV.

What players say

A landmark collection bundling the first English Final Fantasy V with Final Fantasy VI, beloved for the games themselves but infamous for a sloppy PS1 port plagued by long load times, menu lag and combat slowdown. Treasured for content, frustrating in execution.
