The Final Fantasy that totally defines fantasy and what's involved. Epic story with moral issues and shows range in emotion and adventure. Characters fit a pattern and yet are not boring or predictable. It's also takes ideas from the classic Final Fantasy games and puts its own spin on them. Oh and it has probably the most touching ending that I can think of.

great!

I'll admit, I'm a bit biased. Personally this is one of my least favorite games in the series. But that doesn't mean it isn't fun. The name Final Fantasy does come with certain standards. For example, I love the method of learning new skills in this game, although I wanted to swear at Square for the new Limit Break system, in this game called 'Trance'.

Trance is out of your control. Once the gauge fills up, you automatically use it. You get a slightly different but very shiny new costume, and with that comes a massive boost in power and access to special techniques. The gauge empties out with each action you take, so after about three turns you change back to normal, and regardless of how full it was when the fight ended, it empties out when the fight is over. This means it's nearly impossible to actually make use of it in, say, a boss fight. More often than not you end up wasting it on some random battle just before the boss fight actually begins, and it takes way too long to fill up to just run around before the fight. If you have a life. It's sad, really.

Other than that, I think the game was great. The characters were all fun, and the story was very interesting. It was a very nice change from the previous titles in the series, which isn't bad at all. You should definitely own this game.

A great game, but a bit dated

Final Fantasy finally goes back to the fantasy aspect of the game! The neo-future VII and VIII were great, but its nice to be back to the basics. And the playonline.com strtegy guide helps introduce online gaming.

Final Fantasy IV is one of the best RPG's I've played in 2 years. Out of the 4 Final Fantasy games I've played, this one is easily the best. Final Fantasy IV has childish looking characters, but the backrounds are beautiful. 4 discs mean a lot of playing, but all of the discs are action packed and sometimes humorous. Definatly a game to buy.

lives up to it's predicesors

Great characters, great system, hilarious, nice love story, all those things that make final fantasy great. My only gripe is that it's way too easy... but it's still worth owning most definately! GET IT NOW, ABANDON YOUR FAMILIES!! ;)

The Final Fantasy for PS one

All good things come to an end. However, it doesn't look like the Final Fantasy steamroller is gonna stop anytime soon. The last FF game for the original PlayStation is a truly stellar one.

The story revolves around a pirate/thespian who kidnaps a princess (go figure) who actually WANTS to be captured, a knight of the royal family who follows the princess Garnet everywhere, and a black mage which looks a little like Orko from the old He-Man cartoons. All the goodies are here: MPs, spells, summons (YES!), and of course, more monsters than you could shake a stick at. If you've played and enjoyed the other games in this series, you'll get to like this one immediately. The newest additions include doing away with Save Points (you gotta find a Mog to save your progress. If you don't know what a Mog is, shame on you.)

The other changes include the return of the Limit Break meter (called the "trance" meter here) and the all-new ATE (Active Time Event) where you can see what two or more different characters are doing at the exact same time as you. Your choices in the game influence these characters later on. Cool, huh? Okay, let's do the usual run-down:

Graphics -5 stars- the best on PlayStation, especially with the CG cutscenes. Sweet magic attacks.

Sound- 5 stars- everything's there, including some music from FF 7 & 8. Gotta love it.

Control- 5 stars- let's face it: the controls are always the same, but it's a good thing here.

Fun-ocity- 5 stars- Oh yeah, you're gonna like this one. Plan on losing touch with a few loved ones (like your family, boyfriend/girlfriend, family pet) before you're done with this one.

OVERALL: 5 Stars. For the FINAL Final Fantasy for PlayStation 1, what a way to go. Pick this one up if you are a fan of games in particular.

Another masterpiece from Squaresoft..

Final Fantasy IX is a great game. I'm halfway through the Japanese version of the game and can't stop playing!! It has an easy interface and the graphics are unbelievable. The in-game animations are fantastic. And the characters are so lovable.. all of them!

If you've played Final Fantasy VII and loved it(of course) this game is for YOU. Nothing is going to let you down. The gameplay, story, and graphics are at least on par or better.

Everyone should try this game. YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!

Entertaining

Final Fantasy 9 is definitely a fun game. It's a little more lighthearted than the only other FF game I've played, 7, and maybe not as good (though, since 7, have there been any Final Fantasies as good?). It's pretty whimsical, moderately easy, and entertaining. Also, there are a lot of side-quests and mini-games if you get bored with the main plot.
