Final Fantasy IX

[ZeroAX]

I just started playing this game. I've finished the other 2 FF games on the PS1 so thought I'd give this one a try.

I have to say I love the change in style, from 3 steampunk/sci-fi Final fantasy games in a row, it's good to get a game with a more, magical taste in it.

But I have to say the opening is soooooooooooo slow. And the characters are a bit hit and miss. Vivi is great, but the rest not so much. I like the design of Zidane, but why the fuck did you have to name him like that Square?


Do these 2 look anything alike?




maybe zidane (footballer) has a secret monkey tail in his pants

or zidane (FF) gets an ultimate trance move. The HEADBUTT


and steiner, oh god steiner. I hope the later arrivals in the party are better.

and one more thing. thank god for 4 character parties. I've had it with having 1 healer and only 2 attackers

I've always felt that FF9 got a bad rap from all those who started with 7. Four character parties are amazing, and the game has the least annoying steal system (you can steal EVERY item, instead of a random one from the monster's list) of any FF. I do agree that the characters aren't the best. Aside from Zidane and Garnet they don't really grow at all.

FFIX was my first FF game, and I still love to play it. I don't care what anybody else says about it, I think it can still hold it's own against VII.

Imo 7 was the worst of the PS1 FF games. I don't understand the hype. Then again I guess, first time's a charm? (for those people playing an rpg for the first time)

I kinda understand why FFVII was such a big hit, but I don't think it made sense. The game also hasn't aged well.

But on to FFIX, I own it and tried to play it, but after a bit I just got annoyed. The battles are too uninteresting and it's just not grabbing my attention. I mean, the world is vivid and detailed at all, but perhaps as I get older I need a more mature gaming experience or something. I dunno.

I have replayed FFIX a couple of times. I like the Dragon Quest-like simplicity, but really, they should've made the battles run faster. It's really annoying.

I still don't understand the last boss. Kuja was just fine.

Imo 6 was the worst of the FF games. I don't understand the hype. Then again I guess, first time's a charm? (for those people playing an rpg for the first time)

Fixed.

Nobody understands the last boss. You have a better chance of understanding cricket.

Oh Moz, it's almost as if you're trying to incite a flame war.

Imo 6/7 was the worst of the FF games. I don't understand the hype. Then again I guess, first time's a charm? (for those people playing an rpg for the first time)

Even if you didn't like them, it's impossible for either of them to be the worst because FFII was made. Personally I thought they both kicked ass, but you can't please everybody.

2, meaning 4jpn? Hell, I finished 4....twice. Its not very good but it was at least worth playing through. 6 is garbage right from the start.
