Final Fantasy IX is everything a final fantasy should be. This game really takes you back to the roots of the series in a way only final fantasy can. the animation is beautiful the cgi cut scenes are great the summons look great. the battle system is easy and fun with the combination of synth shoppe makes the game more complex and deep. the story is amazing the landscapes are breath taking and the airships are beautiful.
This is one of my faviorate Final Fantasys I could Play this one over and over and never get sick of it.

No it's not FF8 or FF7. So be warned...

You can't have three in a row right? Or technically 4 in a row if you count the amazing FF3/FF6.

Well be warned. While this is a heart-warming game in certain aspects it's also somewhat more dark in tone. If FF8 was supposed to be an ode to movies, then FF9 is an ode to plays. Unfortunately it's one of those tragedies. There's also little exciting or compelling about it. You get the airship with about 2 minutes to go in the story... and considering it was the last airship you'll ever "fly" in the standard Final Fantasy universe it's somewhat sad. It's a very good game, just an "ok" Final Fantasy. Stick with FF7, 8, 10, and 12.

Great game to play

Final Fantasy IX

This is a great game for anyone who is either experienced at RPG's or just starting out. It has a great storyline that you can get into by either leaving the character names the way they are defaulted or put a personal touch and name them after yourself and friends.

Overall, this is a pretty good game. Certain aspecks of it are annoying but others are wonderful. Like being able to cast cure on ALL party members at once.

An Excellent Game

This game was actually my introduction to the final fantasy series and it's absolutely amazing. For the time the game was made, the graphics were phenomenal. The sound is great, the music is interesting and keeps you engaged, and the gameplay is a lot of fun. If you haven't played this game yet, I highly recommend you play it through at least once, but there's no sense in me continuing to sing it's praises when everyone else already has (it's over eight years old)

This has 2 be my favorite Final Fantasy

I have played Final Fantasy VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, Tactics, and Tactics Advanced, and I do think this has the best story line out of all of them, and i think that's what makes a good game.

Comical with great game play for all ages

One of my favorites in the series. Comical with great game play for all ages and just of a bit of an Old School feel. Jody Bissoon

i really dont play video games that much, but i will play this Great game. This is one of my favorite all-time games. I just love the story line, nothing better. They should make a sequel to this game. i can imagine PS3's highly new graphics with a story line like FFIX. Itd would be cool. but yeah great game 5/5

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.
