This game is fun with, like Final Fantasy X, cool spells and summons. You dont get alot of summons for Garnet until the middle of the game but they are worth it. This has great graphics and the battle system is cool. I love how the cutscenes are gorgeous;just like movies. This is definetly a game worth buying!

Not the best FF game

Out of the PS1 and PS2 Final Fantasy games, this one is my least favorite. The plot line is rather bland and the game is too cartoony after the last few.

Killer game from start to end

FF9 is an awesome ass game from start to finish. This game brings back alot of stuff from the original FF games. Some moves are brought back, some characters are brought back, and the world and towns are brought back to the way they were.The game is just so cool because it's so much like the originals but it has good graphics and a deeper storyline. FF7 and FF8 were good but they just weren't like the originals. I illustrate the original thing so much because I really like the the original and typical FF feel.There is absolutely no downside to this game because it looks great, brings back old things like: moves, music, look, and characters, and it makes for an awesome ass gaming experience from start to end.

kinda long and boring......

this game was alright, but it was kind of boring overall. It seems like Final fantasy VIII and IX have traded traits, as Final fantasy VIII had a great story, but the gameplay sucked, but final fantasy IX had alright gameplay, but a pretty lame story

STORY 7.5/10

the story really could be improved, as it is pretty boring. its the usual destroy the evil person plot, but with a few twists and sidequests. The story never hit me with the feeling of bliss when i beat the game, as the ending really was not that great.

SOUND AND MUSIC 9/10

very nice accomplishment. the victory theme is no longer distorted and has returned to a remixed traditional type. the sound is great also, as swords sound like swords, but daggers sound differently. magic spell sounds are top-notch (as usual)

GAMEPLAY 7/10

at first the gameplay is pretty fun, but once you progress through the game, it starts to get quite boring. finally, the beauty of final fantasy IV is revived, as the black mage can only cast black magic, the white mage can only cast white magic and healing spells, and a summoner summons and also has white magic. zidane (the main character) knows no magic, as he is a theif, so he knows devious theiving skills. a lot of times the gameplay will get a little tedious

MENUS AND PUT-TOGETHERS 9/10

after final fantasy VIII, i gladly welcome final fantasy IX's menu functions with open arms. Square finally dropped doing the irritating and pretty stupid materia system, as well as the horridly time-consuming junction system and put on the ability system. this is rather original and pretty cool. you learn abilities from items only (not everyone can learn every ability, i might add), which portrays a descisive challenge to the player, because you wonder if you should keep a weaker weapon equipped that lets you learn a really good ability, or try to take on this hard boss with a really strong weapon, but dont have the ability. this is honestly the first menu i actually had fun dealing with.

GRAPHICS 9/10

cmon....its squaresoft, and its final fantasy. you KNOW they are going to have good graphics. the FMV sequences are top-notch (not as good as final fantasy VIII's but im not complaining) the people look like people, and the only problem i have with the graphics are...princess garnet.....her figure is definately not very good looking. they have WAY too many details on her.

CHARACTERS 8/10

im fine with all the characters, except for one. all of the final fantasies have one or two terrible characters. for example, FFIV had edward (useless), FFVI had Gau (irritating), FFVII had Cait Sith (downright stupid), FFVIII had selphie (ugh....), and now FFIX has...Quina (irritating)
quina is not that useful, and you are forced to use him near the beginning of the game, but you dont have to use him onward, which i am thankful for.

REPLAY VALUE 6/10

its an alright game, but once i finished it, i felt no need to ever play it again, as it was really long and pretty boring. i say you rent it first

Reburth of a fantasy

FF IX made the comeback of the century. FF VIII & VII made me think twice about this game. But unlike the others, the graphics are better, the plot is great, and the emotions are dramaticly life-like! In my opinion start the series with this game!

great game

This games visuals are a throwback to the FF games of yore. It is a welcome change of pace and the story is deep and involving. If you enjoy Final Fantasy games you will love this entry in the classic series.

excellent

I must admit, I am a big 8 fan, so the switch to 9 was tough. I immediately criticized it for it's cartoony characters... plus, the setting was just so different. But gradually the game won me over. I really love the characters and relationships... and movie sequences. OMG, the best music!! Nobumoto made a breakthrough with "The Place I'll Return to Someday" and "Loss of Me." Great game. Sometimes frustrating but Vivi overrode that. Actually, the ending fight led up to this... thing. Yeah, I guess the climax was kinda weak and the ending video was disappointing at first, but I watched it again. And I changed my mind. It was pretty good, just not as tight as I would have liked. Vivi and Zidane have this beautuful relationship. (Ah bonding) And another craft of wonder is Freya. KUJA! One of the best villains! He was so great. Why couldn't there be more of him? Anyway, please play the game... if you want. (Though I'm an 8 fanatic)

The best FF yet, with a few flaws

This game is the most fun, beautiful, logical, and easy FF. Most those things are good, except easy. Yup, ok people, too tell you the truth, im not too good at leveling up. Though even with the really bad low levels, i beat this game no problem. I died on a few bosses, but the second try i killed em. So you may think. WOW! Theres 4 discs so that means its long! No, you can do a disc a day f your good. Otherwise you must buy it!!!!!!!!

good gameplay, bad charecters

this game is when squaresoft started getting better. its got much better gameplay than ff8. but the charecters are worse. overall its a good game, that i think people should buy.

(they continued the dumb card game, i dont know why they did that.)
