Pros: Words can't describe how great this game is. Go Square. Cons: Where are Biggs and Wedge?
After success on Final Fantasy I-VIII, Square Soft took the next logical step: Final Fantasy IX (or "nine" for all you non-Romans). Yes, it's finally here, in all of it's un-hyped old-school glory.
First-off, I'd like to give props...

Pros: everything but those blocks Cons: blocky graphics sometimes, a bit 2 easy
Final Fantasy IX was the first FF I actually bought with my own money. Not from my parents or aunts but me! When I finished the game, I was in awe. Final Fantasy IX is a good game. In my opinion, its better than Final Fantasy VIII. But like always,...

Pros: Easy to understand Ability system, fun side quests and mini games. Cons: First disc slow in terms of getting to core gameplay.
At the 2000 E3 Expo in Los Angeles, Squaresoft showed nothing about FF9 except a brief snippet of CG in which Vivi, a black mage, appears to be laying on the ground, in the rain, over cobblestone. The accompanying music was a melody for the game. The CG...

Pros: High quality CGI, simplified interface, involving quests Cons: Slay the dragons, save the princess, yadda yadda yadda...
...But that's a good thing. Square has churned out yet another entry in their series of standard-setting role-playing games (RPGs) and it is absolutely up to par. The bad news is that it really isn't appreciably better than the last two entries in this...

Pros: Graphics,Great FMV's, Really good storyline Cons: Some parts of the games are not very interesting
GRAPHICS
Wow!!! This is the the final fantasy game with the best graphics, maybe the characters are a not very well designed but the environements is so detailed that you could not see all the details that they had. The FMV's are so great i...

Pros: graphics, gameplay, abilities, character development, FMVs Cons: too short, trance system
The game is simply amazing. It is the best in the series, a fitting end to the Playstation reign. the game goes back to it's roots, with character classes, deformed characters, dragons, castles, wooden ships, etc. Though the graphics don't have the super...

Pros: Great Music, Storyline, and over 50 Hours of Fun Cons: Weak monsters and bosses, and some blotchy screens
When Square made Final Fantasy 9, they broke the mold. Selling at an affordable $39.95, FF9 offers over 50 hours of game play for the hard core RPG veteran. It also offers a great storyline that will keep even the most strongly opinionated RPG critic...

Pros: Good Fun, lots of excitement, excellent graphics, teaches us about the values of life. Cons: disappointing final boss
If you loved Final Fantasy 8, you'll love Final Fantasy 9. Unlike Final Fantasy 8 which was set in the future, Final Fantasy 9 was set in Medieval times. You know, with castles, dragons, knights, princesses, and other stuff.
Although the story...

Pros: Good graphics, classic final fantasy fighting system, amazing cut scenes, interesting characters Cons: Has a lot of repetitive random battles.
With all the new systems coming out, Final Fantasy 9 is one of the best rpgs out now, even with its ps1 graphics, the story is still amazing and all of the characters are well designed. The main character Zidane is a thief on a theater ship that goes...

Pros: Beautiful Gameplay, engrossing story line and characters. Great graphics and balance. Cons: The combat system, though not as great as that of Chrono Cross, yet still good.
Well, to say that Square left psx with little to go on would be giving no credit at all. Two of its final RPGs to the system, "Chrono Cross" and "Final Fantasy IX" had to be the best I've played for the system. FF9 makes up for more than enough where 7...

Pros: Great plot and character development, graphics, music, battle sequences. A return to the basics (i.e. class system, etc) is wonderful! Cons: Too linear and cinematic for an RPG, but that's always been a con since FF7. No harm =)
Well, OK, that review title was really vague, but it was better than Star Trek IX, by leaps and bounds! This is probably the longest-running series in the entire world of Video games. They have still yet to release Dragon Quest 7 (Dragon Warrior,...

Pros: great graphics, story, mini-games, sound Cons: the game ends
If you are an RPG fan, this is the game for you. This game takes the best qualities of the PSX Final Fantasy games (beautiful graphics, addictive mini-games, incredible cg cinemas), and mixes them with the best things of the pre-psx Final Fantasy games...

Pros: Everything but the card game Cons: The card game rules are hard to understand
Lemme start by saying this has got to be the best game ever. Everything is good about this game every little element about the game. Especially how easy it is to learn everything compared to Final Fantasy VIII. When I was playing I caught on in only 5...

Pros: Excellent story and a variety of mini-games. Cons: Out of place emotions.
When Final Fantasy IX first debuted in U.S., I wasn't really hyped up about it. After maybe a year from its release, I borrowed it from a friend just to try this RPG. To my surprise, this is the BEST RPG I have ever played.
The story this...
