Pros: Everything looks good Cons: Looks can be deceiving
At long last the galleons holding thousands of American copies of Final Fantasy IX have docked among the harbors cluttered with the eagerly waiting fans of the series. The game was released last Tuesday, and although I have yet to obtain my copy, Here's...

Pros: great epic storyline, the ending, the fact that Squaresoft made it Cons: none, really, except I thought Kuja maybe could've been a little eviler.
Final Fantasy 9, the game that combines elements from the past Final Fantasies into one, strong role-playing game. Or at least that’s what I’ve been told. I’ll admit, I’m not much of a hardcore Final Fantasy gamer. In fact, this is my second Final...

Pros: Returns to what made the series great Cons: PlayStation is aging hardware, looks no better than part VIII
After 9 iterations, the Final Fantasy world has reached its pinnacle in this, the most stunningly beautiful FF game to date. It also serves as a poignant reminder to fans of just how deeply rooted in our hearts the storylines of this series are. When...

Pros: Great Graphics, great story, likable characters Cons: Will Square ever top this game
The first thing that catches your eyes are the FMV's. They are truly astounding. But Square doesn't abuse them to make the game appear great. The story is one unmatched in any other FF game.
Once again you can use four members in your...

Pros: original, FMVs, The characters, everything about this game Cons: nothing
The newest installment in the final fantasy series is a great one. It definately makes up for FF8 and in style. The games graphics are stunning and the music will take you to another world. This game is as good as the earlier ones and it will keep you...

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: 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: 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: Great dialog, best translation job to date. Hours of fun Cons: Limited replay value if an average gamer.
After FF8, I was left wondering what would happen to the Final Fantasy series. Final Fantasy 8 was 1 step forward, 8 steps back from the Playstation great, Final Fantasy 7. Luckily, Square went back to the drawing board, saw what made FF7 good and...

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: The entire game is one big PRO Cons: none
I love the Final Fantasy series. I played almost everyone, on Nintendo, SNES, and Playstation. My favorite Final Fantasies before this were III and 7. I thought 8 was going to outdo 7, but I dissappointed with it. But FF9 is definately one of the best...

Pros: Stunning graphics and FMV, lovable characters. Cons: Card game seemed pointless,final boss a bit too easy.
Final Fantasy IX, the ninth installment to Square's final fantasy series, lived up to my expectations. A blend of the old series and the new series all wrapped up in one neat little package.
I found this game extremely fun to play and I enjoyed...

Pros: Cool characters, amazing graphics, not hard to learn Cons: Card mini-game was confusing, identity crisis plotline got old.
FFIX was my first Final Fantasy game. One of my friends got me to play it by giving me an MP3 of the song Melodies of Life, which is the ending theme to the game. "Oh, my, god" was my reaction after seeing the first FMV. I'd played nothing but...

Pros: -The graphics are greatly improved in this game
-The new ability/item system is great. Cons: - The Tetra Card Game is rather boring.
FFIX is a great game. Like I mentioned the game is greatly improved and it gives you hours and hours of gameplay. Although the card minigame is rather weak the Chocobo Hot&Cold game makes up for that. The characters personalities are described in depth...
