Final Fantasy IX for PlayStation 1

Pros: A huge step above it's 32-bit kin
Cons: Hard to say, really.

In this day and age of the "quick fix" style of gaming, I would find myself, a seasoned RPG fan, getting misty-eyed when I thought back to the RPG glory days of the Super Nintendo. True classics like Chrono Trigger, FF 2 and 3, EarthBound, Secret of...

Pros: Story, characters, battle system
Cons: Its not as good as FF6 for SNES

Ever since Final Fantasy 7 came out there have been a plethora of terrible RPGS that are only played buy diehards for no reason and novices who don't know any better. Square, makers of the Final Fantasy series, are culprits as well.

That is...

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: Awesome game
Cons: PSOne?

Its one thing releasing sequels, but #9 in the series is taking it a bit far isn’t it? That said, if the sequels are that different and of a high enough standard, then why not, and this is a perfect example of why.
If ever there was a reason not to...

Pros: Everything like....graphics, sound, control system. must i go on?
Cons: not much

Again Squaresoft blesses us with just one more episode to the "Final Fantasy Saga" and this one is looking like it should. The Final Fantasy series has set the standards for the RPG world. Everytime that a new
RPG comes out the...

Pros: Great story, wonderful game play, in-depth characters, awesome graphics/music/sound fx
Cons: Sub-quests/sub-games were too hard

After making the last three games in the Final Fantasy series more "technology-based" in plot, Square finally listened to their fans and returned the series to what made it so popular in the beginning. Final Fantasy 9 brings focuses more on the magic and...

Pros: Beautiful Victorian Setting, Old Skool Classes, Vivi
Cons: Moderately boring ability system, not long enough, Chocobo "Hot-Cold"

Can anybody can tell me who the heck is Bobby Corwen? Y'know, it's the name of the baby chocobo in Black Mage Village. Who is this person?!?!?
Anyway, Final Fantasy 9 was a pretty good game. I thought that it was possibly the best FF, until I...

Pros: Great graphics, sound,story,controls, and characters, the Chocobo is put to better use.
Cons: At time too many random battles but that isn't such a big deal.

This game is a great game for starters. The graphics are beyond my highest expectations for the game. The characters all have excellent textures to make them look as realistic as possible, and the backgrounds are drop dead gorgeous. The story line is...

Pros: Better FMVs than ever 4 Characters battle at once Incredible spells and eidolions!
Cons: Random Battle system is quite annoying!

Technically, I have to admit that IX is in most ways superior to VIII. The biggest improvement is in the weapons and combat system; I liked VIII's GFs just fine, but having to draw magic from enemies got very tedious, and upgrading weapons didn't give...

Pros: Smooth graphical display, Beautiful FMV's
Cons: Slow Combat Engine, Can be boring at times.

Final Fantasy 9 was a much awaited game for me. After the greatness showed by it's predecessors, I was camping out in front of the WalMart to get one.

The first thing that hit me when I started playing this game was the fact that the...

Pros: This is yet another well done game by Squaresoft.
Cons: The plot gets a little boring during the middle parts of the game.

This game is a good game to play and it is fun. But I found that the game wasn't as good as the other Final Fantasies. I like the built-in jobs and the return of the crystals. The crystals or like the jobs skills but the characters cannot change jobs....

Pros: Better learning curve, graphics, translation
Cons: Plot was not as engaging

To be fair, I've been playing Final Fantasy since the Super Nintendo, and Squaresoft has never missed the mark yet. This time, while they didn't miss, it wasn't dead center.

I can understand the inexperienced players would find this game most...

Pros: Characters are almost real in this fantasy game.
Cons: It ends eventually...

Final Fantasy is a series long in the making, and all of us have come to expect great things from the games. I still believe that FF7 was the greatest game ever, but FF9 is a strong mix of the great old features, and new innovative ones.

...

Pros: ATE's
Cons: The abilities system takes a little bit of getting used to but once you know it, it is like second nature.

Squaresoft has amazed people with the graphics and stories of the recent Final Fantasy games. Each game has been even a little better than the last. Does Final Fantasy 9 live up to the expectation. With a more "cutsey" feel to the...

Pros: Good Graphics, Great Characters, and very fun!
Cons: Too easy or too hard

This game is great! A great story. Great music to make you get in the game. And great movie sceens make you want to play forever. The graphics will blow your mind. Great charcters main charcters is a cool kid with a monkey tail trust me he is cool. His...
