My recollection is that FF9 has a lot less Final Fantasy BS than some of the other games, i.e. it's pretty amenable to playing without a guide. Other than the Excalibur II (attainable only in speed runs), is there much missable content in the game?

other people have talked about it already, but stealing from bosses is both broken and leans on the 8/256 stuff, so it's actually anathema to hopeless completionist players, but as synthy says, it's actually a p. straightforward game if you're just trying to beat it.

If you've plugged your controller into port 2, beware! It won't work! Put it in port 1 instead.

Lol @ this and the following posts. RIP the days where the first three pages of an instruction manual would be clinical diagrams of your playstation.

It's also not that long so you can play it again if you want to check out stuff you missed.

Man FFIX must feel like a loving breeze with the fast forward button in the remaster. It's a very short game that feels incredibly long thanks to load times and how slow battles are.

I think u can miss out on finding daguerro since it’s not part of the main story but thats less ff bullshit and more cool extra thing

FFIX had a sidequest that wasn't discovered until 13 years after it came out (or at least no one had written about it):

Yes IIRC IX started life out as a side game that got put into the mainline series because they were working on X for the PS2 at the time.

The Caius fight in Lightning Returns was hard as gently caress. I was NOT expecting that! He killed me twice, and I've completed 90% of all the sidequests I've come across. I was fighting reavers no problem minutes before facing him and he still pwned me.

He's the most powerful FF villain in history, so it makes sense.

The Ciaus fight is where i stopped, could of backed out and went another route but I was just too annoyed at the thought of loosing the entire day even though i was way ahead.

they're getting rid of ps3/vita/psp games on the webstore and redesigning it all ahead of the PS5 launch so it's probably gonna be up and down for a bit.

also they're getting rid of the wishlist function lol. Thank You Sony.

Tidus and Yuna are in their late 30s now. Tidus says he can quit drinking any time and tells his son, Jecht, that he'll never be as good of a blitzball player and calls him a crybaby wuss.

According to the weird audio drama from the HD collection, Tidus and Yuna broke up like a year later and Sin comes back lol
