The best of the original Playstation era

Blessed with an innate sense of history, and tinged with a touch of melancholy, this title provides a fond FAREWELL to the OLD style of Final Fantasy. I will miss it, but that is NOT what impressed me the most about this game. It was the nicely wrought story, the most fully fleshed charachters of ANY 32-bit game, the AMAZING artwork, and the way they wove pieces of the series past into the story and environment. The gameplay is the most addictive in the series since 6, which came out here as 3, but was recently re-released as part of Final Fantasy ANTHOLOGY. I enjoyed the VERY SOUL of this game, an aspect that seemed minor in the previous two entries. This game reminds players WHY they loved the series in the first place.....STORY AND PERSONA. The best music and cinematics EVER to Grace ANY 32 or 64 bit system.

Final Fantasy 9

About The Game:
FF9 was a long game, when you have no idea what your doing, but its not bad not knowing. Anyway its starts off with Zidane fighting with a two-headed dragon with his team of thiefs. Once defeated the two-headed dragon, which the two-headed dragon is just a helmet and it was his Captain he was attacking. Also it was all training. Once that is all done, we go to a little Blackmage named Vivi, he is just wondering around town, and with a help with his new friend, then try sneaking into a show, to watch, but everything messes up, etc.
Graphs:
I don't understand it, why does FF8 have better graphs then FF9, i'm pretty sure that 9 beats 8, but not in graphs. So yea, graphs when down a little, I guess they though that they could bring back old school but they didn't.
Music:
Same as always music is a pretty thing, but this time there was not a good song to pick out of, like Shadow's Theme from FF6 or Rinoa Singing from FF8.
Good Things:
They made this game a little different, like you don't need to play as the main hero, and there are many guests that help along the way. Also like FF6, but with FF6 their was only 4 guests but they go away fast.
Bad Things:
I hated the evil Blackmages the most it this game, not the main villian but the @$@$ing blackmages. They die but just come back to life, I hate them, they should be burned by Vivi, Vivi is better then any of thoughts Blackmages. I would go up to the Blackmage and pull his F#$ing skull right out.
Things That should Change:
The Blackmages, there was to many of them and also, there was no whitemages, where did they all go, the only one I was was Garnet wearing a Whitemage robe, that doesn't count to as many as the blackmages.
I think the grapher was on something, because why, why the F@$# do make worst graphs then FF8, The thing I have to say is... FF8 is beating this game up the @ss. I will still say that besides graphs got a little worst & blackmages, the game was pretty good.

This is the game that started it all for me. The first game that I ever beat, the first complex story that I learned to understand. The charaters where fanominal, the gameply excentric, the story exotic, and the graphics were the best on a ps1 system by far. No game comes close for me on my top five as my favorite game. Zidane was a charater that I instantly knew would be exotic (its the tail). Garnet was the key to they whole story really, a very graceful and majestic charater. Vivi was Vivi. The one that taught us to be our selves and more. Steiner taught me responsibility, dignity, and trust. Amarent was the mysrty really. it didn't go into depth about his past like i had hoped, but it gave me enought to know that he was in fact a bad ass and need not be messed with. Quina, well, he/she (no one really knows) taught me to try and like different foods if anything. Freya was the one who's story i found to be the sadest. The one line that stayed with me that she said is "to be forgoten is wose than death." Oh, that stuck with me and let me know that i chould never forget those who i care about. Eicho was the fun charater, full of energy and heart. she never did disapoint when it came to lightening up a moment in the game really. all in all, and to make a long story short, after i beat the game i grew up about twelve years or so, and that was back when i was six. so yes, ten out of ten, a phanominal feat in gaming history in my personal, humble, opinion.

I don't know what everyones complaining about. Yes, Zidane was a cocksure and Kuja was a nancy but the game had a lot more to it than those two!
It took a step-back on the technology part compared to the other PS1 Gens but at least that provided the fantasy which we all used to yearn for as a youth.
When this game, hit the shelves. I really couldn't be asked to play it as I was working my Trident! However, once I got down to it I found it quite delightful. If you try to not take it seriously as there isn't a single bit of drama in this entire flopcomedy!
I feel that Final Fantasy 9 needed to be made. It filled that gap between the now and the then of the FF Saga. Obviously the further we go into future, we are going to want to see more advanced things. FFIX gave us that last gleaming of the games we used to know.
If a game can bring me back to a simpler time where the only thing I have to worry about is my next Dyne Bar Wasted, then have at it.
Final Fantasy IX was the last transitional step toward lesser RPGs of the modern age. If anything it was a closing chapter in the PS1 RPG Era which I will always cherish and always miss.
