Collections

The Collections are a special feature of the Final Fantasy Origins remakes of the original Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II. It is a sub-menu which contains a list of the items collected, galleries and a Bestiary.

Both game's collection menus are set up very similarly. Here's the breakdown.

The items list tells you how many items you can get in a given area. This count includes plot-related items.

The gallery contains some of the game's concept art drawn by Yoshitaka Amano. The musical theme is The Prelude.

The Bestiary tracks which monsters you've faced and how many you've defeated. It also shows you the monsters' stats and (if it has any) weaknesses. The music in here is the main battle theme.

Final Fantasy II
The collections menu in this game works the same way it does in Final Fantasy.

Bestiary
This menu records which monsters you've fought, how many monsters you've slain, and what their weaknesses are. It's musical theme is the main battle theme.

Item Collection
This records how many items you've gotten in a particular place.

Art Gallery
The gallery contains concept art, earned by how much of the game you've completed, how many different kinds of monsters you've encountered, and how many items you've gotten.
