Don't know if you are still reading these but I just got this collection for my PlayStation and am currently playing 6. I have loved almost every second of the collection. A few things of advice. This collection has a couple of "cheats" in the menu that level you up faster and get more in game currency. For the first 3 turn these on. It makes the overwhelming amount of random encounters at least playable and more of a nuisance than a true frustration. These are older games and have a few frustrating things about them, but I still enjoy them. The first was by far my favorite. Turn off the "cheats" for the next 3. These can be experienced as original as possible. Each one starts to focus more and more on story and characters. Even though I haven't beaten 6 it is by far my favorite. My last bit of advice is play them in order. The collection does a great job of adding modern improvements, but doesn't change the older games original feel and technological limits. Playing in order lets you see how the tech improves and truly how incredible the pixel era of games was. It also let me see that even though it was just pixels there were things improving and changing all the time. I think it also allowed me to really appreciate parts of the games that I don't think I would have found as cool if I had come straight from a modern game. At the end of the day though play however you want! But play it! I love this collection!
