I got Anthology around the same time as VIII, and at this point in time I had only ever played I and VII. I also had the strategy guide, so I got really obsessed with these classic titles. V was extremely challenging for me the first time I played it, but it's become one of my favorites. I have no opinion on the translation or interface or anything, but I love that they retain the original graphics. I hate updated graphics. I'm a purist.
