I asked this same question at gamefaqs, but there is just about ZERO traffic on the boards over there, so I'm going to restate it here!

Are there any serious differences between the ROM and the Anthology version? I have both versions in my posession, and I thought about it long and hard which version to play.

I was NOT impressed with the FMV from the FFA version, however, I did love the end where they list the stats for all your characters, which was a totally awesome bonus. Is that in the rom version?

Some other beef I have between the two games is overall quality of the dialogue. Does the ROM have good localization? Although I thought Ferris's accent was a little silly, I thought the FFA version had overall pretty solid tranlation. Which is better, you think?

Any other significant differences you'd like to mention, go ahead! I want to start a new game, and I'm a little unsure as to whether I should play the FFA version or the ROM version this time.
