I'll be amazed if any game company think of a better game than this. |
| Karl from Liverpool, UK says (16/Aug/2001): |
The game is so cool. I got as soon as it came out and haven't been off it since. The graphics for the GC movies rule and the gameplay makes up for in-game graphics. Leaving and entering rooms seems more realistic than 7 or 8 because the players don't just vanish from sight.The sound is nore impressive and movement doesn't seem as rough. I'd say you would play the game for a good few years before you got bored if you were a rael role play- ing fan. The card game and sub games are also more challenging than the rubbish 7 and 8 ones and the chance to pause the game where ever you feel like is more useful, no more having to switch you playstation off without the chance to save.

Final Fantasy: The video gamer's dream!! |
| Justin from San Diego, USA says (23/Nov/2003): |
Final Fantasy is one of the greatest games of all time for the PSOne. The graphics were undoubtably the best of all the FF games. It also had the best parts of FF 7&8. The chocobos, upgradable weapons, tons of enemys and puzzles. It totally blew me away. I was used to the usual wrestling games and driving ones, but what I enjoy the most are RPG's and this game truely was my favorite. It wassn't so hard that I lost hope in the beginning, but it was challenging enough that I didn't beat it in 2 hours. Like I said before, it mixed the best of the old with the best of the new. And don't feel bad that FF 10,11, and 10-2 are for PS2. They'll be even better. (I know, I played 10!)

Final Fantasy IX Opinionated |
| A gamer from Buna, USA says (1/Jun/2003): |
Final Fantasy IX is one of the absolute GREATEST games that i've ever played. The graphics were awesome, the storyline was one of the best that i have seen out of lots of games. I bought the game when it just came out for $49.95, and it was worth every single penny!!! Final Fntasy VII, and X were very good, but this game outrates them by so many points that it's not even funny!!I played this game so many times, and i will continue to play it! it never gets boring to me!! i loved the cast of charcters,and the best thing about the game is how they kept you on suspense of what Zidane actually was. I give this game a rating of tem points every time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS GAME IS PRETTY AMAZING! |
| Tien from San Clemente, CA, USA says (23/Oct/2003): |
OK OK, now I played FF7 and I was hooked...the first FF game I had ever played. IT ROCKED! I beat it SOOO Many times....and when 8 came out, I automatically turned it down, comparing it to FF7...it wasn't even close. BORING BORING game! DON'T GET MAD! That's just my opinion....and when 9 came out...I had to play it...to compare...now the story is a bit confusing......and not quite up to par with FF7...but it was amazing. I mean, the CG's were beautiful, they were plentifull, and plus, it wasn't very long. A long RPG tends to bore me unless it can continue to keep me interested...FF8 failed...but I loved 9...so too all, at least check it out, it's worth a try!
|
how cool can it get!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| digiridoo from uk says (7/Sep/2003): |
Ive completed it 8 times each time finding more secrets out about the game but i still havnt discovered it all.the game has got to much in it for one person alone to discover it all.ive probably discovered all the summons but not all the ultimate weapons.anyway this game rocks even more than driver 2.when i first got it i was instantly addicted.its like the game sucks you in. the graphics are amazing for psone plus theres four whole discs full of the plot which is real quality for your money.so if your new to final fantasy as soon as you turn on the game and if your not new this is a must have for your collection of squaresoft master pieces.

What's there to say... |
| Beowulf (FFT rules!) from Livermore, CA, USA says (29/Jan/2003): |
I mean, come on... It's better than FF7 AND FF8, i liked both of them better but the 4 person in a battle made up for it greatly, FFIII is unbeatable no matter WHAT they make it WILL NOT beat 3(Tactics being the only exeption), its just that good (6 sucked, 3 (same game diff system) was better, less fancy stuff more storyline). 10 Owns 9 also, worst FF yet i say, BUT it IS a Final Fantasy game, therefore it is better than ANY non-FF game. It has too little storyline for too much complication, i dont like the ability system, i like to be able to get abilities with or without great weps. Overall review: ok but nothing to get overexited about.

Nine was fine, Eight was great, but Seven was heaven |
| Trunks_17 from Ringwood (NJ), USA says (21/Feb/2001): |
I didn't think that this game would be as good as FFVII. If I did, then I'd be expecting way too much, and then the game would suck. But I didn't. By the way, eight wasn't great at all. It just rhymed!! Anyway, sure, the graphics were great, sure, the storyline was incredible as with seven, but the real thing that stood out was the fighting system. Not any old character can summon, or steal, or use magics. Not every character can just attack away and make you happy. For once, I actually LIKED getting into random battles (sometimes!!), and leveling up became routine. Better than 8 but nothing compared to the storyline and characters of 7.

Final Fantasy IX is the second best, ever! |
| Muscleman 420 from Pennsylvania USA says (23/Feb/2001): |
Final Fantasy IX is definatly the second best game I have ever played on Playstation!!! It has great graphics and it has great music. It always seemed to be pulling me further and further into the storyline. It has tons of items and weapons, but it doesn't tell you how to get the best ones. Another great thing about it is that it isn't one of those games where you just beat it once then put it away in a shelf or something and forget about it. It isn't very original but I don't really care about that. It is an awesome game, YOU HAVE TO GET!!
Incase you were wondering, the best game for Playstation is definitely Final Fantasy VII!

Final Fantasy IX....not as good as I had hoped |
| SJ Cecil from Archdale,NC (USA) says (10/May/2001): |
Still, 8 out of 10 is better than 90% of the other games out there!!! IX is very similar to the earlier games in the FF series, the characters are short and dumpy looking. The game is too cut and dry, it doesn't have all the lengthy side quests that define FF. Its superior in graphics to VII and they look sharper and cleaner than the graphics in VIII. Unfortunately, what the game adds visually doesn't offset it's lack of substance. Both VII & VIII had better stories and took longer to complete. Especially VII. All in all FFIX is an excellent game, better than most RPGs out there. It just isn't the best Final Fantasy out there.......

Great but not perfect |
| Duane Foster (FF King) from London England says (19/Jul/2002): |
This was the first Final Fantasy game i played on Playstation. At first i find that the CG graphics were excellent and that the characters looked like a cartoon. once i got into the game i find that it had a great beginging in the first disc but after that the game went down hill, with a crazy story line which weren't to involing. Although the battles were of a good quality and pace with good graphics but nothing else really opealed to me. Overall this is good but i think you should only buy it if you are a hardcore Final Fantasy RPG fan.
Graphics 9/10 | Gameplay 8/10 | Lifespan 10/10 | Sound 9/10 | Fun Factor 8/10
Overall 88%

Not what I expected |
| Arty(RT) from CANADA says (16/Jan/2001): |
I've played every game squaresoft has ever made and I'm finding
their other games are beginning to be funner than the Final Fantasy series. The Graphics in FF8 were far better than FF9 although it did add more background the characters needed more work. I beat this game in 8 days. Which surprised even me. It took me 6 or 7 to get to the 3rd disc and only a couple of days to complete it. The music was the best yet, mixing all the old tunes and a few new ones. This game had the same plots as almost all the other FF's. All in all I think people should give square sometime to finish their game instead of rushing to meet a deadline.

Not what I expected.... |
| A gamer from Killeen, Tx, Usa says (27/Apr/2002): |
This game didn't intrest me at all, I thought the CGs were pretty good. Other than that it's rubbish. I've played the other Final Fantasy games and the graphics were indeed better than the other games. The story line though was really boring. I didn't feel I had much freedom in the game. The music was ok and the battle system was good but the ability learning was SO rubbish! It sucks having a character thats really weak cause you have to learn all the abilities the accesories give you. Especially when your at a hard boss. When I played it I asked myself "Why am I playing this game?". I think SquareSoft could have done better.

THE BEST GAME THAT EXISTS. |
| Samaan Mahmoudzadeh from Sacramento(Calafornia)USA says (23/Dec/2001): |
FFIX is full of action and adventure,if your a real Final Fantasy fan you would have beaten FFIX.I have already mastered Final Fantasy 1-10.I'm waiting on FFXI,for the PS2.I love FFVII and FFIX,Final Fantasy is great and long.FFX is a 6 disk game,so prepare yourself for the time of your damn life.FFix and FFX are great,but FFVII out classes them all.FFVII isn't as long as FFVIII or FFXI,but still has plenty of exhitment.The main people in FFVII,FFVIII,and FFIX are:Cloud,Squall,and Zidane.I have to say out of those three Cloud is the coolest strongest person of all time.And thats my review on Final Fantasy IX,Thack you all.

W00t! FF9 Rules!!! |
| The_Gr8_Cecilmeister from Middle of Nowhere, USA says (14/May/2003): |
I have loved the Final Fantasy series since i was little, and I still love them! FF9 is awesome, at times complicated, but it made me think. It was challenging, but not so difficult that i couldn't beat it. The end was amazing, although I thought there would be more FMV's because I've beat FF8 a kajillion times. I thought FF9 was going to be a disappointment until I bought it and played it, and i loved it!! Kuja is a jerk, but he's the BEST!!! lol. Did that make sense? O.o....The storyline was kewl, and it kept me guessing until I saw "The End" on the screen. Truly amazing, with so many twists and turns! I loved it!

Final Fantasy Bummer! |
| Sam Waters from Stockton, England says (31/Oct/2003): |
I thought this one had to be the worst FF game so far the characters were ok except ok Dagger was a princess but come on the game was not called Dagger it had both Zidane and Steiner going after her for most of the game which was totally boring i hated it but i would not sell it still its a game from Squaresoft and quite frankley id buy any Squaresoft game wheather it were good or bad. Other than that FF9 had awsome graphics and gameplay and is well worth playing over and over except i wouldnt lets hope Square get back and pull of a better one than this
You can try buying it but to me it only gets a
3/10 FF9!

This game is so good I'm speechless |
| Justin from san jose, USA says (4/Jul/2003): |
I've played through this gam a few times only to realize that this game was challengingand fun. The gameplay was wonderful! This by far was one great game. I'm playing it for my 5th time and I was only going to find a way to beat ozma. I still haven't found a way. I think that Steiner is cool at some times... like Zidane {100% cool} and sometimes stupid. But my all time favorite characters/bosses were kuja/trance kuja and NECRON!!! Kuja is one of the coolest characters in the game, right up their wit Zidane! Necron is cool because he is the final boss and is pretty hard to beat. But not as hard as Ozma mind you.
|
AWESOME game!! |
| Jason from Lockport,IL says (25/Jun/2003): |
I like ff games but Final Fantasy 9 is the bomb! The grafics are good. The characters are way cool!!! Kupo,kupo,kupo,and kwe,kwe,kwe. I love Chocobos and moogles. I have apet moogle named Moopo. I also have a chocobo named Coco. I have a crush on Dagger and General,Beatrix... I look alot like Zidane,too. My favorite music is when you fight Beatrix. I also love the story line. I love sommoning eidolins but I want to summon the ark.I depend on my attack points and HP/MP.My friends and I call Steiner an idiot but at the middle of disk three he changes . The battle system is great.The ability system is great.

One of the best RPG games of all time |
| Raymond from USA says (21/May/2001): |
FF9 is one of the best games ever made. Who ever said it sucked or did not like it needs to be shot in the leg and forced to play it again. I'm glad they put the real FF touch to this game with weird charaters, airships, not futuristic, and just plain amazing. FF7 and FF8 sucked because of the plots they had, everyone can use magic and summons, too futuristic, and everone was human. I'm come on, its not called Final Fantasy for nothing. Well, I'm glad Squaresoft brought back the Fantasy in Final Fantasy. Because FF7 and 8 could in some way and some possiblity happen, unlike FF9 and the others.

A relatively good game |
| Benjamin Lu from Singapore says (26/Nov/2000): |
Final Fantasy IX is a one of the great games by Squaresoft of course, not to mention the other Final Fantasy Series, what's cool in this game, is The Chocobo side quest where you can get light blue, red, dark blue and finally the white Chocobo that can fly from forest to forest. The bad point game is the Trance and the summon scene of the eidolons, the Trance is much harder to get now, compared to FF VIII 's limit breaks, limit breaks are also much nicer, and for eidolons, there's now less summon spells compared to FF VIII. But overall, Final Fantasy IX is still a must buy for DIEHARD RPG FANS

THE GREATEST GAME EVER MADE IN HISTORY!! |
| A gamer from Sacramento,California says (6/Jan/2002): |
Hey,you look up excellent in the dictionary you will find this game right there.Its got great graphics,kick-a** characters,and,great music.Beatrix is so fine.8 was good,but this was mutch better.You have to play this game.Zidane was really cool.His thievery can take away 9999,if you steal enough.Dagger is also a babe.The funny one was Quina because s/he always was hungry.Vivi had great black magic like doomsday.Not to mention no boss has over 70,000 hp.The bosses got a little bit weaker.I like how if you reflect a magic off of yourself,the magic is 2 times stronger then it originally was.
