Final Fantasy IX discussion thread

(1/5) > >>

Manix:
All the talk on the thread about Aeris dying got me to make this.

I've played alot of FF games (from 2/4 way back on my cousins SNES, and 3/6 on my own), but out of all of them, I can say my favorite was Final Fantasy 9. Why? It was a welcome return to form after the cyberpunk-ness of 7 and 8 (Though I loved Laguna).
Things I liked....

My favorite side quests (Chocobo Hot and Cold)
My favorite Final Fantasy romance (Beatrix and Steiner)
My favorite mini-game (Tetra Master)
My favorite in-game fictional city (Lindblum)
Great, likable characters.
quasi-sympathetic villains (the Black mages, but I enjoyed slicing up Kuja)

If only it had some form of item creation (which i've always liked in games) it would have been perfect in my eyes. What about you guys? What do you think of/remember about this game? Where does it rank in your list of best FF games?

jeph:
It's by far my least favorite. I hated the character design, couldn't get into the story, and that stupid last boss fight where -GASP- the real enemy comes out of NOWHERE and you have to fight him really irked me.

To say nothing of the gaping plot holes concerning the World Tree or whatever it was.

Then again, I am the only person in the entire world whose favorite in the series was 8, so take my criticisms with a grain of salt.

I Am Not Amused:
You are WRONG sir. You are not the only person whose favorite is eight, it is my favorite as well. (Ending sequence with Rinoa's disintegrating face is fucking gold.)

But I liked nine, as well. It was a nice new type of main character, after the angst of Squall and Cloud. It had GREAT music, in my opinion, there was also a much more involved world, Chocobo Hot and Cold was the most worthwhile side-game in FF-dom. It also had the greatest ancilliary storyline, that being Vivi and the Black Mages. Of course, it had its flaws, but I still enjoyed the heck out of it.

KickThatBathProf:
Not my favorite, but still good nonetheless.
I really enjoyed the sort of nostalgic feel to the whole game.
And Vivi is one of the better characters in all of FF.

I really enjoyed VIII too.  Once you got past figuring out the junction system, it is really a stellar game.

My personal favorite, however, is VI.
The plot is by far the best of any FF, and the gameplay is also quite fantastic.
