In addition, I'll be playing it on either PS2 or PS3, and I know there are various issues with both of them. The graphical menu glitch on PS2 doesn't bother me, but the freezing obviously would on PS3.
Then there's the possibility of using the PC and a fan translation. I understand the fan translation is far superior, but I'm not so sure about playing on the computer as opposed to playing it on a TV. (though, to be fair, the first (and only) time I've played the entire way through VII it was the PC version)
So the question is, do the translation and load times outweigh playing it on a TV? I've never played through a game on emu before, and in fact of all the FFs I've beaten I, IV, VI, VII-X...almost all of those were beaten on the same PS2 console, so nostalgia's sake might be in favor of Anthology as well...
