Though certainly not the best the playstation has to offer. Graphics 5/5 Truly Gorgeous visuals considering the system. I particularly like this story as it is not overly dramatic as in Final Fantasy 8. The story puts you in the shoes of Zidane Tribal on an Epic adventure through the world of Final Fantasy 9. But to some who got the point of this game it was some of the best things about it. Alright, down to the good stuff! Strory: 4/5 The only reason this one gets a 4/5 is because it contained many Cliché's from earlier RPG's.

You might ask why and argue that it doesnt hold a candle to the Likes of 7 or 8, and I can understand why you would say that. Personally This is the Final Fantasy that I enjoyd the most on the Playstation 1. If you haven't played any Final Fantasy, this is a good start. All in all, I highly recommend this game. This was also the last game in which they had a true turn-based ATB battle system (XIII/XIII-2's isn't quite up to par). The characters are all likeable, and while the game has its emotional moments, it doesn't come off as trying too hard. The game is beautifully done, with graphics that rival that of early Playstation 2 titles, and some of the best music in the series (I still get chills every time I hear Freya's theme). Equipment is needed to learn new skills, both active and passive, and synthesizing new equipment is fun as well. Limit Breaks are replaced by the Trance system, in which the character becomes more powerful for a limited time and attains new abilities, a la Terra's Trance from FFVI.

While the previous three Final Fantasies allowed ANYONE to summon, IX only has two summoners, as it's crucial to the plot. The story itself isn't entirely new, but there are some aspects of originality to it, and while the battle system may seem familiar to anyone who's played a pre-FFXI Final Fantasy, there are some interesting and fun ways to customize and power up your characters. The card game is back, as well as the addition of a new Chocobo minigame where you dig up treasure. The plot spans four amazing discs, and even after the main quest is over, there's plenty more to do. Things take a turn when her mother retaliates, and things are further complicated when her minions are on the chase.

This installment of the Final Fantasy series puts you in the role of Zidane Tribal, a thief whose mission is to kidnap the Princess of Alexandria, Garnet. By this I mean that there are various plot elements and mechanics that veterans of the series will recognize as a nod to the NES and Playstation 'Origins' of this series. First, I want to point out that this game was a love letter to the first Final Fantasy.
