Fainaru fantajî IX

This one takes us back to what we loved from the earlier final fantasy games, before cyberpunk influence & darkness came along. Small cute characters with more facial expression (tho i never liked polygon graphics really) & a more colorful world makes this one closer to the original idea. (i always think that the creators also took in mind the "never ending story" at least in musical aspects (like ff4 which sounds a lot like it)

& i celebrate i was able to play a final fantasy with better graphics than the old ones. Very nice CG cinematic sequences too. Nice colors everywhere, not the best final fantasy, but very amazing to play. A must if someone asked me!

The battle system improved over FF7 a lot. Now you can choose more characters & overall faster loading.

Overall this game is a nice way to go back when ff was more underground & there wasn't posts to put opinions about games, just time to enter a nice imaginary world & have fun until u ended it (& having nothing to do with your life after since the game took so much of your free time!)

Final Fantasy IX is one of my favorite final fantasy games in the series. I loved the atmosphere, characters, music, setting, mini games, world map, villain, gameplay, visuals(yes I liked the art design since it reminded me a lot of the old games in the NES/SNES days, and it also was original and charming at the same time I know people will disagree with that but each to their own). The battle system is solid since you have four members in your party with their own job class like Zidane being a thief, Vivi being a black mage,Eiko/garnet being white mages/summoners etc.The leveling up works well since it's like most RPG's and it's ability upgrading works well to since you can use the ability when equipped but when it's maxed out you can use whenever you like.The mini games are really fun too and the side quests are enjoyable to tackle like tetra master(Am i the only who enjoys that game and has won and enjoyed matches XD.) Boss fights are fun, the game has a lot of places you can explore once you obtain the airship.The only downside to the gameplay is the loading times for battles and trance bar being a bit flawed, but the game-plays pros far out way the cons IMO.The characters are really likable and funny, The games story is interesting and dark. The music is great and the ending made me satisfied. This game is one of my favorites and I love it to death. It's funny, dramatic, heartwarming, beautiful, likable and it's a game that I think every gamer should try out.

When this first came out I didn't think about buying it but seeing it was a Final Fantasy game. I had to. Let me describe how incredible this game is.

The Gameplay: Like all the FF games the control scheme is not hard to learn. Is just awesome, One of the finest RPG gameplay I have ever had the chance to experience. 10/10

Story: Amazing. The plot starts out good in the beginning but the more you progress through the game the better story gets with wonderful characters that you get attach to deeply, nice character development, a lot of humor, drama and self discovery elements thrown in there too. 10/10

Graphics: Beautiful and Outstanding. Clearly the greatest to ever grace the PSX. It truly captures your attention and imagination. Is just Breathtaking to look at. 10/10

Music: Squaresoft truly knows how to put magnificent music in there games. This soundtrack gives this game more of a epic feel to it. Thats why FFIX is a work of art. 10/10

Replay Value: (Depends on what you like to do) If you love RPG games you will definiteley like to go through that experience all over again especially with everything I mention above. 8/10

Overall: What more can I say. This was the game that made love RPG's all over again, not since Chrono Trigger was I blown away by a RPG game. This game clearly is better than FFVII and FFVIII, also the second greatest PSX game ever made. If you haven't had the chance to experience this wonderful gem, go out right now to your nearest videogame store and buy this because this is definiteley a keeper for any true gamer. (10/10 and A+)

This, like Final Fantasy 7 and 8, was a masterpeice, it was a game like no other. The characters, each one of them, were worth the effort.

Zidane and his crew of theives attempt to save the princess Garnet, leading to a great adventure. This game, unlike any Final Fantasy, was so fun to play that you must restart it everytime. It wasn't just the game or the fantastic graphics, but the characters and their traits. For example, Zidane's constant womanizing, Vivi wants to fit in with the crowd, Princess Garnet wants to act like normal people, Steiner's stuberness, Freya's go-getting attitude, Quina's unstopable hunger, Amarant's arrogance, and Eiko's little crush on Zidane. Final Fantasy 9 was similar to every other Final Fantasy because every character had their own personalities.

The storyline was amazing, and so was the graphics. The Final Fantasies are my favorite games, and I am waiting for 10. Final Fantasy 9 was a fantastic was of Squaresoft saying: "The game MUST GO ON!"

This is a fantastic game, rent or buy today.

WOW!!! this games rocks! although plot wise it's not as strong as seven, it more than makes up for this with (in my opinion) far superior gameplay. the magic and physical attacks are equally useful, and the introduction of character classes (white mage, black mage, thief, glutton, knight) is drastic improvement over the other playstation exclusive fantasy's. The final fantasy's are my favourite games on the playstation, and this did not disappoint. The ending has to be seen to do it justice (the same for the last two games for that matter). In one word: Brilliant!
