Final Fantasy IX for PlayStation 1

Pros: Graphics, Story, Gameplay, and the ending is great.
Cons: Could use some more musical variety

As the constant skeptic when someone says "Best Game Ever" like the Comic Book Guy on the Simpsons, I was extremely doubtful that any game would be able to topple my personal favorite since 1997 Final Fantasy VII. Why should I, it had maintained its...

Pros: great storyline,awesome characters, sweet fmvs, just great fun
Cons: none really

Apparently, Epinions doesn't know how to say 9 in Roman numerals. As I searched for FFIX, I noticed how FF8 was written as FFVIII and FF7 as FFVII, both written correctly. Then I see "Final Fantasy 9" and was kind of confused. The name of the game is...

Pros: Cutscenes, graphics, storyline, no more GF dependency
Cons: MIDI quality music, trying to figure out the genetics of Garnet from fat Brahne

Finally, the 9th edition of the Final Fantasy series is here. Truly the final one when it comes to the original PlayStation. After the general downgrading of the series in the 7th and 8th games, I was hardly expecting much. As Zorn and Thorn would...

Pros: Graphis, Storyline, Characters, Production Values
Cons: Sounds a little worse then past in the series

Attracted by the big productions values and the diverse and lush histotry of the Final Fantasy series, I went to the local mall and picked up FF IX. After hours of gameplay I am happy to say the FF fans and gamers in general will not be diapointed....

Pros: Squaresoft delivers with an exciting sequel!
Cons: Cheesy background music.

Background Info
The Final Fantasy series has been successful for quite some time now. They have reached their 9th title and the excitement is still alive. Hardcore gamers have awaited this sequel for some time now and most are happy with the...

Pros: Graphics, Storyline, Gameplay
Cons: It ends.

Before I begin my review on FF9, I would just like to say that FF9 is the best Final Fantasy on the Playstation. I loved FF9. From the first scene to the last frame. I loved it. The story grasped me and pulled me through the adventure of Zidane and...

Pros: Outstanding plot/Soundtrack, character themes, and graphics that are as realistic as fantasy gets.
Cons: Too many bosses, but at least they're beatable this time.

Okay folks, I am breathless after completing what I consider Square's best achievement in it's hit Final Fantasy series. I am more than impressed, I am speechless.

After years of playing Final Fantasy games and finding flaws in every...

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: Storyline, graphics, combines futuristic settings of FFVII and VIII with medievil settings of previous installments
Cons: It's gonna have to end eventually...

What is it about RPG’s (Roleplaying Games, for those not in the know) that grabs our attention and refuses to let go? Is it the long, involved quest, the fact that we get to be someone else and live and control their life, actions,...

Pros: It's Final Fantasy the way I like it.
Cons: It's perfect!

For some of you, this game might be your first Final Fantasy. Others might have had the chance to play a lot of the older Final Fantasy titles. But whoever you are, this game has got to go down on your best games list! If you need proof, here's the...

Pros: everything you loved about the series is here
Cons: still too many random battles

Like every fan-boy, my question was not, "should I try Final Fantasy 9?" Rather, the question for me was "will it really be a Final Fantasy game?"

Like many others, I enjoyed FF7 and FF8 but could not bring myself to...

Pros: It's Another Final Fantasy!
Cons: It's Another Final Fantasy....

Okay, on the count of three, let's all admit that the name "Final Fantasy" is an oxymoron considering the dozen games that bear this name.
One....
Two....

Three?

At least this time, it seems like this one will truly be the...

Pros: Great graphics, fun gameplay, some interesting characters
Cons: Clichéd story, dialogue, and even some characters, too much rehash, random battles

I've been an addict of the Final Fantasy series ever since I borrowed VI (released as III for the Super Nintendo in the USA) in spring of 1995. So naturally I was dying to play VII. In fact, VII's upcoming release was the main factor in my decision to...

Pros: Graphics, Strategy, Certain Characters
Cons: Story, Linearity, Certain Other Characters

In my opinion, there are two types of RPGs. There are those made because someone had a great story to tell, and there are those made for other reasons; maybe to introduce a few innovative systems, or to take advantage of the market power of previous...

Pros: The next masterpiece done by the fellows at Squaresoft.
Cons: Couldn't find any.

By now, buying and playing Final Fantasy games is a tradition. All of Squaresoft’s games are all fresh yet still pack some traditionalistic elements yet discards the disliked elements.

First, I was happy to see that there is once more the...
