It just does everything in the most solid way possible. An intriguing storyline, characters you actually care about, tried and true FF gameplay, a memorable soundtrack, beautiful, polished graphics, and not many crazy "systems" to learn and master.
There are so many humorous moments in the game, but at the same time, many emotional moments as well. Throughout my journey, I connected with the characters, as they truly came alive for me. Few games were as engrossing as this, as it really captivated me with its fantastic story and entertaining twists.
Doesn't offer very much that is new. The game is more than a little formulaic at times, using rehashed bits from other Final Fantasy games and not taking them any further.
I love Final Fantasy IX! It's my favorite Final Fantasy game ever as well as my favorite PlayStation game ever. Okay sure, the game has its imperfections like the Trance system, the battle speed, and the fact that it's mandatory to beat the Tetra Master card game tournament as you progress in the game. That said, what's great about this game by far outweighs its imperfections. In my opinion, Final Fantasy IX is a masterpiece, it's an inspiring game with memorable characters like Zidane and Vivi. Not only were Zidane and Vivi fun to play as, but so were Garnet, Steiner, Freya, Quina, Eiko, and Amarant. I know some of the characters hardly have anything to do with the story like Quina and Amarant, but that's pretty much every Final Fantasy game in a nutshell. This game also has interesting antagonists like Kuja and Garland. One of the things I enjoy about this game in particular is the fact that it's straightforward with its character job classes and that makes planning which characters I want to use in my party for whatever situation not too complicated to deal with. My memory recalls immersing myself into the captivating fictional world of Final Fantasy IX. I also fondly remember always listening to its beautiful and relaxing music soundtrack. The battle theme of this game in my opinion is the best in the series. Also, this game helped me get through tough times. The theme that always stood out to me besides you not being alone was the will to fight and survive. Exploring all the places in this beautiful game and collecting all the items gave me a great sense of adventure.
wow im amazed this got so many positive reviews . this is the first FF game in the series i did not care for . the cutesey moronic graphic style really turned me off but i plodded through and beat the game . the story didnt do much for me eather even though Vivi was kinda intresting not much about what was going on hooked me. im tryin to remember the story more since its been 10 years or so since i beat this . i do remember how freekin annoyed i was about the back attacks and the pincer attacks which i swear to god happend like 50% of the time . i kid you not i do remember i had that happen 13X in a **** just wanted to spike my controller into the TV. then your main charicter looks like a metrosexaul monkey which i just hated how he looked and him personally . about the only possitive thing is you can have 4 players in your party . i really dont even know how or why i finished this game . my guess was that it was sqaure at the time who back then almost every RPG they made was GOLD . this certainly is not.
Das schlechteste Final Fantasy, was ich bis heute gespielt habe. Mega nervige Charaktere, schlechte Story, dumme Dialoge und abschreckend kindischer Stil. Nach den Meisterwerken 7 und 8 war das hier ein echt krasser Schock. Ich habe keine Ahnung, wie dieser Schrott zu einem der erfolgreichsten Teilen der Serie werden konnte.
