What Others Say
This is actually my favorite game of all time...
Final Fantasy IX is indeed my favorite game of all time, and I've played a great many RPGs. There's just something amazingly charming about this game that I can't quite put my finger on. I've played it multiple times and I never get tired of it. Overall, this game simply excels.
Graphics (score 9/10): Some people are put off by the large-headed characters, but it didn't bother me. Overall, I thought the graphics were detailed and likable.
Music (score 10/10): I love the music in this game! Many of the tracks have a meideval sort of feel to them, but in an upbeat kind of way. Alot of it just feels...cozy. I can't think of any other way to describe it. Everytime I listen to the game's soundtrack I just feel like ... Read More
Not a huge fan
I do not want to call this game over-rated because I do not want to take away from what other people think of this game, but I did not find this game to be very good. It is not awful but compared to other RPGs of the time this one fails in too many places to be one of the greats. There are quite a few problems I had with this game that are so very hard to overlook.
First this game is short!!! Do not let the 4 disc package fool you. It is entirely possible to beat this game in under 12 hours. I wonderd why they even needed 2 discs because it was so short and not overly filled with any of the FMVs or detail to take up all that space.
Second the character developement was subpar. Only a few of the characters really ... Read More
one of my favorite installments(IMO)
one of my favorite, a nice comeback of the old ff's, a good pick meup from 8, which was solid at most, i think they were tryin somethin different on that chapter of this series, tho as everythins not perfect best we can do is hope that things turn out for the better after a chip in somethin, which things do in time, id cal IX a recall of the old days of rpgs, replays good storyline good, battle system good, overall id recommend this, tho as most would say its not as good as 7, and well considering 7 was first rpg to hit 3d graphics n all its not worth the fuss of either bein called cool or put down for discussing over something thats really stupid to discuss, most ppl who post threads on this series arent really soaking in whats important, the ...

My daughter loves this game.
I bought this game for my daughter and she loves it. She had played it and now finised the game but still plays it over and over again in between other games.
Welcomeback to your Roots
Final Fantasy IX is everything a final fantasy should be. This game really takes you back to the roots of the series in a way only final fantasy can. the animation is beautiful the cgi cut scenes are great the summons look great. the battle system is easy and fun with the combination of synth shoppe makes the game more complex and deep. the story is amazing the landscapes are breath taking and the airships are beautiful.
This is one of my faviorate Final Fantasys I could Play this one over and over and never get sick of it.
