Best music, best gameplay of the ff series, best graphics of its time, best ability set-up system, best and most well developed characters. With more than 100+(iv'e clocked alot more) hours of gameplay this game is not short on time obviously, and every second of it was full of the best ff story plot, awesome minigames, and lots and lots of chocobo treasure hunting. The amount of effort put into this game is beyond real, and if every game creator took a cue from the bar that ff9 sets, the videogame community would be a much better place. This game is a perfect 10/10… Expand

The most underrated Final Fantasy to have ever been made. I admit, the attention to character art during normal gameplay isn't the best The most underrated Final Fantasy to have ever been made. I admit, the attention to character art during normal gameplay isn't the best (better than FF7 though) but the backdrops and sceneries are stunning. The storyline is captivating, surprising you with unexpected plot twists that intertwine with each other flawlessly. Each character also has his/her own story which leads you to a deeper understanding of them and how they have come to be where they are during the game. A masterpiece that was unfortunately released too late as by this time, the PS2 had already been in the market for a good year or so I believe, which diverted everyone's attention from the game. To anyone thinking of trying the game out, I can almost guarantee you won't be disappointed… Expand

Best Final Fantasy ever, and possibly best game ever. I never cared so much about the characters. The only SLIGHT flaw is fossil roo in disc Best Final Fantasy ever, and possibly best game ever. I never cared so much about the characters. The only SLIGHT flaw is fossil roo in disc 2 which is annoying and the part in disc 3 where garnet gets depressed(not gonna say anmore or it would spoil the game) that can be irritating, but after that and before that(oh yes, espeically after) it picks up again...yes i would say its the best game ever made. the music is perfection, especially the music in Ispens Castle and Kuja's Theme.… Expand
