Final Fantasy IX discussion thread
Narr:
I thought 9 was great. I loved how you learned new skills, and it's probably the most hardcore FF game to date because it's beatable at relatively low levels. After all, they REWARD you with the best sword for Steiner if you get to a certain point in like 20 hours (on my playthrough, i had like 40 at that point. It's significantly later in the game.)
I really should go replay it again in a "fastest playthrough possible" way. Speed runs of long RPGs are fun.

I agree with this, but I only like him because I actually managed to beat him despite the fact that I was underleveled, and wasn't expecting him in the slightest. Probably my favorite RPG boss victory ever.
If I had lost, I probably would have hated him on principle. :roll:

I agree. I mean, if only it had some sort of... synthesis system. That'd have been nice.
:-D

Duh! My bad! It's been awhile since I really played the game and I forgot about that! Once again, my bad, sorry.

for future reference since other people are less friendly about this than me. wouldn't want anyone to be a jerk to anyone. :-D
notselfcreated:
Am I an ass? Cuz I enjoyed VI, VII, X, and XII (heck, throw in FFT, Vagrant Story, and Chrono Cross too) all terribly much more than VIII and IX, both of which I considered to be the true dark age of the series.
I'm an ass, aren't I.
Just so that I can have some justification, I didn't like VIII because of the Junction system (Draw, draw, draw, draw, draw, draw, draw, draw, draw, draw, draw... draw...) and the lack of any interesting or unique characters. I was soured on IX for the opposite reason: a troupe of freaks and one barely pubescent girl. I also didn't really consider the so-called "return to the roots" as authentic. Frankly, none of the older sprite games felt as kiddy and ridiculous as IX. Sprites look kiddy because of the limitations of pixel art; to make kiddy characters when you have the freedom of polygons is inexcusable. Unless, of course, you're making a game for little kids.
