9 is really great. The load times on battles are awful. And you can't store Trance like Limit Breaks. Those are pretty much the only downsides.

The technical improvements in graphics and character models from 7 to 9 is pretty loving bonkers. (Sure they figured out how to make real character models in 8, but you gotta respect how seamless 9 felt)

You gotta appreciate ANY game developer that transitioned from 2D games to 3D games with the grace that Nintendo and Squaresoft did.

FFIX is an amazing game, the moreso for the fact that in the long storied history of FF, it's the only main title that tried doing the throwback and it pulls it off perfectly

yeah i mean up to the end the whole thing felt like a really nice send-off for that classic ff style before moving onto 10 and stuff

It sucks that the side characters become no bodies as their stories wrap up. I loved Freya and didn't like that she totally got shoved aside after Cleyra

It's so good. As the poster above said, it's the best send off for the classic style FF they could have done.

She and Amarant get some good character moments together and I wish they got more time to play off each other.

It's insane. FF9 does so so much to encourage players to explore every inch of the map and there's still poo poo to find. Who knows what else is hidden somewhere on the discs.

something happened to the woff vita release



its also really hard to buy digitally because for some reason its considered a CERO-Z release which is the japanese ESRB rating for a porno game so you have to jump through multiple authentication hoops to purchase it currently

And what a world it is too. They managed to make so many distinct places in the FFIX world without it feeling disjointed in the least. Even when you get to Terra which has its own weird aesthetic, it still gels with the rest of the game.

I really should replay it sometime. I'm sure it's aged better than a lot of PSX JRPGs.

Terra is FF9's Kingdom of Zeal and it owns for all the same reasons. I love it so much.
