Final Fantasy IX for PlayStation 1

Pros: Too many to list
Cons: Too few to be worth the effort of telling you about.

Pros: Throwback to the earlier games of the series, fun and enjoyable.
Cons: Villain looks like a girl and dresses like a girl. Rather disturbing.

Since the release of Final Fantasy VII those many years ago, RPG fans have been divided into "Old School" and "New School". While "New School" generally describes gamers who have since gotten into RPGs thanks to the glorious Final Fantasy VII, "Old...

Pros: Great graphics with character designs by Yoshitaka Amano again, innovative gameplay, a true Final Fantasy setting, mini-games that are actually fun, battles can be difficult
Cons: Longer load time than previous installments, Thorn and Zorn are VERY annoying, Chocobo Hot & Cold is VERY addictive, battles can be difficult

Once upon a time, long before their was a thing such as the 32-Bit era of gaming, the next generation consoles were known as the upcoming Super Nintendo or already released Sega Genesis. Nintendo and its console at the time, the Nintendo Entertainment...

Pros: Real characters, FMV sequences are better than ever, the essences of all the previous Final Fantasies come together right here.
Cons: Sometimes the enemies seem to be controlled not by a machine but by a (smarter) human being!

I don't think this has ever happened to me before. I'm sitting in front of my video game console, totally absorbed into the game I'm currently playing. I have to go to the bathroom so bad, it hurts to breathe. And the game has gotten so interesting,...

Pros: Great graphics. Great storyline. Great characters. Great game.
Cons: Some gamers may find a little too easy.

After the terrible disappointment that was FF8, RPG fans were fearing the final fantasy series had reached it's peak with FF7. Could this be the end of one of the best loved RPG series ever? Fear not! For out of nowhere, a hero arrives to save the ...

Pros: Amazing graphics that surpass the abilities of the PS1
Cons: Boring characters, boring story, boring fight system, etc.

When the Final Fantasy series first hit the Playstation with FF7, the change was immediately apparent. Obviously, the graphics were vastly superior to those on the Super Nintendo Final Fantasy games, but more than that, with the increased capabilities ...

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: Nice storyline, some cool characters, good character system. Nice FMVs.
Cons: Mediocre music.

This is a small write-off between Mike Bracken and myself. Enjoy!

The Intro

Let's face it. Overall, the Final Fantasy games (with the exception of the wonderful Final Fantasy Tactics) on the Sony...

Pros: Great gameplay, well-crafted dungeons (for once in an FF title)
Cons: Weak storyline, slightly disappointing soundtrack.

Final Fantasy VIII was arguably the most disliked game in the Final Fantasy series. While Squaresoft certainly made a noble attempt at altering the tried-and-true FF-formula with a revamped battle system, new shop system, more realistic and ...

Pros: Everything
Cons: The good Outshadows the bad greatly, if there is any bad

After years in the making, the true sequel ( What most are calling it ) to the Final Fantasies on the Playstation is here. Overshadowing both it’s predecessors on the system it rages war with all the RPG’s that are now on the market. And in the end it’s...

Pros: Massive game, endless variety and groundbreaking graphics.
Cons: Takes a while to get used to if used for the first time.

I have never really been a fan of RPG games, and I still consider myself not to be. I have tried a few, but none appeal to me. That is with the exception of Final Fantasy games.

After having completed Final Fantasy VIII, I couldn't wait for...

Pros: Perfect graphics, involving story, nostalgic, what FFs are known to be.
Cons: Sound not up to Square's own established par, gameplay is a bit too formulated.

THE STORY:
The Queen of Alexandria, Brahne, has begun terrorizing neighboring kingdoms with horrible magic. Knights, bandits, and magicians team together in resistance, only to be pulled into a much larger, more sinister plot headed by the...

Pros: Everything, but ESPECIALLY the characters...
Cons: The game has to end.

Note: The most important parts of this review are in bold.

I have rewritten this review because I feel that my old review of Final Fantasy IX didn’t do the game justice. I recently (on January 29, 2001) finished the game. So, you...

Pros: Great cast of characters, explosive soundtrack, fantastic storyline
Cons: Too damned easy, needs a fresh coat of paint in the battle engine

WOW! Having been the Final Fantasy IX anti-christ since the day it's existance rumors were conceived, I am now suprised at the overall quality of this latest Square RPG romp. I must say, it's been a long time since I've fallen in love with an RPG, and...

Pros: Great story, addictive play, cool battle system!
Cons: ummmm............nothing!

I have not played to many of the Final Fantasy games, infact I only played FF7 and FF9. However, I think this is the best Final Fantasy game yet! I have not found one thing that I was disappointed with in the game! When I first got it for the christmas...
