FFVIII was most realistic of the PS1 era as IX was intended as more of an homage to the classic Final Fantasy experience, (something of a love letter to all that came before) as opposed to where VII and VIII were trying to push the going for more modern and realistic visuals Though this is probably less evident on the “upscaled” re-released versions available today

@@Arthzul Nope I refuse the "muh opinion" stance. The fact is VII changed how people perceived RPGs in the west and kicked off a golden era of games that started away from the typical medieval fantasy narrative. Not to say others haven't done the same before FFVII, but VII was the first one that mattered. Also, without the success of VII, IX doesn't exist and IX copied a lot from its predecessor which is why the bast majority of people put VII above IX. This review is dead on. IX is a solid B+ of a game but it's not an epic like VI, VII, and X because all three of those games broke molds and changed the industry for the better.

There is no FFIX remake. That's a fan rumor. A quick google searched confirmed that. Also, don't hold your breath for it because its not popular enough for that. VI might get a 2DHD remake, but IX is what is. I would argue after the remaster being done so well, there is no need for a remake. Would rather SE remake Xenogears or Chrono Trigger and spend their time on something other than FF for a change.

@LeoC It basically rebalances the whole game, from changing basically all skills to how most status effects work to which abilities are learned from weapons, it's a pretty big overhaul and it makes the game not your usual basic jrpg. If you're somewhat competent with these games I'd go straight for the alternate fantasy since the normal game is just like all FF, which is pretty easy and straightforward. Considering how ff9 is focused on gathering equipment, the higher difficulty makes it so the player feels more rewarded since the equipment is valuable, while if the game is very easy it doesn't really matter since you would win regardless.

I personally think final fantasy 9 did 2 things better than almost any other in the series. It made the world feel lived in and sucked you in immediately. I think other games in the series including 7 at some points has places there just to be there if that makes sense. I never felt that way in 9. Every location felt important and was memorable from Dali looking like a innocent humble village. Lindeblum felt like a big thriving metropolis, Treno being like Venice built by people with endless wealth. Second the character building and development is as strong as any other game ( Garnet,Vivi and Steiner especially great), to me the core message in 9 is "do you really want to know the answers to your biggest questions and do you have the courage to accept and embrace the answer" which i think is as powerful and deep theme you can carry in a story. If you like good story telling this game will hold it own with any other in the series.

I've finished FF9 just recently on Steam. I'll be honest; I forced myself to finish it. Early game, I always come back to progress through the story. But as I reach closer to the end, it gets harder for me to come back. I really like how each character has fixed jobs like Zidane being the Thief, I don't have to think too hard about how to build the perfect team. Unfortunately, the farther I go, the more the combat puts me to sleep. Maybe it IS because of how slow the game is, and maybe the abilities I gain from equipment tend to not be as rewarding as it was initially. With that said, I'm glad I played it, and I'm glad that I was able finish it, but I don't think I'll keep playing it.

As a FF9 fan boy I agree with most of what you said. Not easy for someone who only played it twice to have such an accurate opinion about FF9. I have made more than 100 hundred walkthroughs on this game since 2005, when I was 14 years old and I enjoyed it every single time. This game helped me so much it's undescribable. FF9 is like you said the most consistent game in the whole franchise although I agree it's not the best story(FFX is imo), I would still give it an A. Edit: Speaking of soundtrack - You're not alone - is one of the best in the series and doesn't get enough credit as it should. :P Edit2: Even if it's not a hard game to play, this game has two of the most difficult challenges I came across in the many games I've played . Rope Jump mini game and Obtaining excalibur 2 . the difficulty on these challenges are mindblowing. I love to see other people commenting/playing this game so thank you very much for the video :) cheers

It’s one of my favorite games. It wasn’t on my first play through at 18 in 2000. I liked VII and VIII much more at that point, and there were so many other games I wanted to play or play again. Then I played IX again in my 20’s, say 17 years ago, and I was just in love with it. It’s really a deep, existentially bleak, and harsh game. But it’s also super charming. It charms you. IX is a slow burning story unfolding like a novel, it’s superb. Many entries just force more and more dramatic nonsense in to the plot, and IX just has you hooked in because it’s so slick and polished and compelling. It’s top 10 for me all time. And I might be able to argue it to the top 3. It’s a gem. And at its time it was stellar game play. And yeah it’s kind of slow.

I thought of FFIX a lot while playing Dragon Quest XI, with the classical fantasy imagery and somewhat childish elements. But I realize now that DQXI improved on many aspects in ways I didnt realize until I went back to something like FFIX. It's unfortunate, but my tastes have moved on.

Just beat it a few minutes ago on my Nintendo switch. Definitely worth playing in 2022. Might be the best Final Fantasy game of all time.

I loved FFVII for a lot of reasons, but this was the first game that just left my jaw on the floor (in part because I was late to console RPG's).

This is till my favorite FF title to date. I played it as soon as it released on the PS1. I just fall in love with the characters and the music. It also the first FF title I played from start to finish at that time. (I'm the oldest of 4 children so often I found one of my brothers has gone through my games and just took one of them without telling me. Ah, childhood memories. Haha.) I've played the game several times over the years, and I never get bored of it. I just find myself falling in love with the characters all over again, and I 've seen mu options change on them as I' ve grown older. The music hits me just as hard and I know no FF song that can hit me harder than Melodies of Life. It remains a remarkable game, that deserves so much more love than it goes today.

To me, what defines Final Fantasy the most is 9 and 10 because you're constantly relating to MOG, Chocobo, and the guardians Gods. Whereas all the others FF is mostly just about the characters or story line. I like humor and side quest games that makes the game more enjoyable. I like my characters to have a specific characteristics and not just focusing on their job or have no times for jokes. I love how in 9 and 10, Zidane and Tidus have a characteristic most of us can relate to. Just my opinion 🤷

9 was my first FF title play-through and easily my favorite. Imo it has the best story, characters and the masterful skills of Nobuo Uematsu. That isn’t to say there aren’t any flaws - there are many. But what makes this title so great is it’s ability to captivate an audience with its story and character arcs. It welcomes you into a world that is very much lived-in (in terms of the mist continent), and encapsulates you with the questions of life we all struggle with. Making this title the most relatable.

I've played this game probably every year since I was 15....I'm 36 now. I honestly feel like FF9 is on par with 7. The brilliant character models, story, characters themselves made this game so good.

That's a fair summation, it doesn't excel in any particular area but is just a really tight package. That said I think the art direction and music really are both 10/10, and finally realised the full potential of PS1 tech. For me the biggest problem with FF9 was that it lacked the immediate hook at the start of the game that FF6, FF7 and FFX had for me. The first time I played it I didn't really "get" it. However, the PS1 disk I was playing on was scratched and I had to start over again on an emulator. Playing through disk 1 a second time with more familiarity and context really made me appreciate it and feel far more invested in the story.

Possibly my favourite FF from that time. I still have my PS2 and discs... Looking forward to revisiting that lovely world. A remake, or thorough remaster would be amazing though.

I played and finished FF9 back in Highschool and it was my Favourite Final Fantasy Series to date, I just started replaying the game last week and the feeling I got from the game was still the same, sure the battles were slow due to how the ATB works but there was something cozy about this game that really got me. Story was simple enough that I didn't need a whiteboard and strings to piece everything together and the ATE just helped with worldbuilding, specially if you're doing a 100% run (so all ATEs must be viewed) as you find more things you probably never saw from playing the game casually. There's a bunch of mods tht improve the visuals and music along with a voice acting mod (which I honestly never used).

First off, I want to say great video, I gave it a thumbs up. I like how you looked at it critically and lose yourself in bias either negatively or positively. As a fan of FF9, it is my favorite Final Fantasy, it's always good to see someone giving it the attention it deserves. I honestly feel like it has some of the best characters in any Final Fantasy, all of the characters, save for maybe one or two, feel like they have an arc and develop in some way. I understand why people might not like Quina, even though I love them and think that they are a greatly misunderstood character, I believe Steiner deserves better. He's supposed to be annoying at first, but he grows throughout the story. Being with Zidane, who's a criminal with a good heart, shakes up his whole black and white perspective of the world, that and seeing his queen do some truly horrible things. While he's not my personal favorite, I think Steiner is one of the strongest characters from a character writing perspective. That being said, this was a great video and I hope you keep up the great work.

Funnily enough I've just been playing 9 for the past few weeks on the switch (and my god the encounter loading 🤣). 7 is my all time fave then 8. I couldn't get on with 9 when I was younger and I came to the conclusion after the majority of the story being morenserious in 7 and 8, the lighter and more comedic elements on 9 just didn't sit well with me. Absolutely loving the game now though but my biggest gripe is the amount of times your party is split apart amd you have sections where the others aren't seen and therefore unable to be leveled up meaning everytime you gain access to them you neednto focus on grinding and bringing them back up to around equal level so they're not useless in future battles. Lastly, F Amarant 🤣🤣

Final Fantasy has never really clicked for me, I've played FF7 like everybody told me to and even tried later more recent releases but they just don't do it for me. FF9 however was a joy to play, I've replayed it so many times since first playing it some 20 years ago and as i get older I notice little things on this game that I didn't notice when I was younger, it's the gift that keeps on giving for me.

It's 2024 and I'm playing this game again. First time in a long time. It's def in my top 3 FF games (idc what u say none of them top og 7) such a beautiful story and I loved how they kind of went back to the class system. The characters were wonderful the battle system was great and of course (again) the story was captivating

That was a good video. But, I strongly disagree with the statement about the game being a solid B+. Final Fantasy 9 is, at the same time, below the average in some aspects as well as it is a stellar example in the same depending of the situation. Even with the things that became lost in translation the character writing in this game is SO GOOD at some points that make out for the poor development on others(Looking at you, Amarant). Script-wise, there are some meh moments but we have scenes like the "you are not alone" moment that absolutely floors anything with a heart out. There are some S tier minigames and mini-systems here, some that only occurs once in the game! FF9 has so much heart, so much creativity, so much fun! To me, that game is much much greater than the sum of its parts.

My favorite Final Fantasy game from the post-SNES era. Speeding up the combat is definitely something they should do in a remake. Also, since character customization is limited due to the artistic choice of set classes (one I support), some extra gameplay mechanic like a crafting system would be cool. Some of the most powerful abilities are missable due to the missability of equipment they are learned from. It would be nice to have the option of crafting this gear even if there’s some effort involved
