Final Fantasy IX (PS) Reviews

Final Fantasy 9 is the ninth installment in the excellent role playing series from the Japanese RPG king that is Squaresoft, now known as Square-Enix. Unlike the sci-fi themed style of the series previous two titles, Final Fantasy 7 and 8, Final Fantasy 9 represents a return to the medieval, traditional fantasy setting of the series' earliest ...  Read the complete review

Compared to the other Final Fantasy games, like 7 and 8 this was a disappointment. Final Fantasy IX (9) is a bit childish and naive. It follows a thief who falls for a princess who runs away from home. As time progresses she must return home as she has to save her kingdom. The graphics are better than the previous games but are some ...  Read the complete review

I will start off by saying that this is not only the best final fantasy game but it is the best video game of all time in my honest opinion. I can understand that most final fantasy fans will disagree with me but I have a theory that the first final fanatsy game you play is your favourite, because the majority of people first played final ...  Read the complete review

Final Fantasy IX definitely takes a huge step away from the serious, dystopian tones of previous games and reinvents itself once again. If you are looking for a serious game then stop reading this review- Final Fantasy IX has moments of it but generally is far more upbeat and idealistic than it's predecessors. Okay, so I'll begin ...  Read the complete review

Squaresoft (Now Square Enix) have revisited the original Final Fantasys to create Final Fantasy IX. This game brings back such characters like the Black Mage, the Summoner and other characters like that from the originals like Final Fantasy I and II. The storyline is based around a party of different characters - Zidane, Garnet (or ...  Read the complete review

Final fantasy nine is fantastic and also something different from the final fantasy team. In this installment the makers of final fantasy decided to make there worlds and charecters more cartoony than realistic as in ff8 although it doesnt sound great it works very well with the invention of super charecters like viv.The story is about a rougue ...  Read the complete review

The scene is set with the prima vista airship soaring high above the clouds, dipping into a surreal world of this epic. The conflict in the ...  Read the complete review

Ok it was the last ever FF game to be released by Square on the Playstation, and by far the best one they did, FF9 is my favourite FF game ever. I own nearly every single FF game out and i am an experienced gamer playing them over again, i have to say playing through this game made me laugh because of the comedy genious behind Zidane (the main ...  Read the complete review

Final Fantasy 1X is a great role playing game for the playstation one. I have all the final fantasy games and play them again and again, as every time you get better and better or use the different characters to kill the bad guy. The game starts off with a theatrical play being staged at the palace of Queen Brahne of Alexandra, after ...  Read the complete review

  Within the first few hours I spent playing Final Fantasy IX, I predicted that opinions over it would be sharply contrasting. Much of today's following of the Final Fantasy series consists of people who were brought on board with Final Fantasy VII, which is often credited with single-handedly bringing RPGs into the mainstream. So, we have a ...  Read the complete review

Well, after the relative success of FFVII, and perhaps the lack of it for VIII, we have the last ever Playstation Final Fantasy, which quite frankly didn?t go out with a bang. Square wanted to revert to a format, similar to that of FF7 as many of the fans found that the new junctioning system on FF8, was too complicated, and also the ...  Read the complete review

I love this game so much, it's the best Final Fantasy so far, keep up the good work Square! - Advantages: It's Final Fantasy!, Massive game length, Great battle system - Disadvantages: PRICE, Annoying random battles

This was the 3rd in the series to hit the playstation and streched onto 4 discs. in my view the game was far too easy but then it is also for you to decide about that. i will also give some info on the game: THE STORY LINE: Dark times have spread over the world of Gaia. Four separate governing nations, some blinded by ...  Read the complete review

Why is it that every year, a new Final Fantasy game appears on the shelves of game stores? What is the point when no one can be bothered to progress through all 4 or more disks that you have to buy for 40 quid? Don’t you think that only the sad people actually play them, and then they can’t stop talking about it? In 2000, ...  Read the complete review

Final Fantasy IX is the next epic RPG title released by Squaresoft. After the dissapointing release of Final Fantasy VIII, this game shows that Squaresoft can still pull a rabbit out the hat. FF9 has a new array of characters which unlike the other Final Fantasy games are animated and mostly non-human. FF9 also introduces a new equiping system, ...  Read the complete review

I was first introduced to Final Fantasy when I played the FF8 demo on my PC. It was awful, the fight scenes took forever the graphics were horribly converted from the Playstation with blocky writing everywhere and the keyboard system didn't suit the game. But through curiosity I wondered what the sequel would be like on its original ...  Read the complete review

This is the best FF game yet, the characters are original and excellent plot with little twists here and there. Although some magazines have said that it is too much like FF7, their wrong as they are the same magazines that said FF8 is the best installment yet (the biggest let down in that game was using realistic characters for example in 7 we ...  Read the complete review

Are we all be playing the same game here guys? Did you write your reviews after one too many lager shandies? Were the beer goggles fully fogged up? Don't get me wrong Final Fantasy is a very good game when compared to other RPGs....but the FF series is not just any old RPG...its meant to be special. Its meant to involve you in a ...  Read the complete review

Well aware of the role playing genre, I had never partaken until this game and the engrossing, slowly unfolding tale of Cloud, Tifa, Aeris and the rest. Almost a hundred gameplaying hours later I emerged a big fan of the Square series and thoroughly enjoyed Final Fantasy 8 when it appeared. Whilst the stalwarts were bickering ...  Read the complete review
