[@seriousdrum89]

I love the dynamism and the expression of destructive power of the summons of FF9... especially Bahamut

[@zimtak6418]

Yes, I know I'm probably going to get some haters, but I always felt that in the later generations the summons didn't have the same "oomf" they used to back in the PS1 generation. I also liked the character designs more in the PS1 generation. I feel like Bahamut in both FFX and FFVII Advent Children had an odd "trying to hard to add extra detail and be original" kind of design. The "classic" designs fine-tuned in the PS1 generation are still the best in my opinion, such as Ifrit in FFVIII and Leviathan and Bahamut in FFIX.

[@zaryalace7475]

@@zimtak6418 a lot of the old guard left after Spirits Within flopped which was around the same time as FFX and Square-Enix merger.

The evolution of the graphics between FF7 to FF9 is pretty crazy, they look like a generation of console apart

[@zimtak6418]

Yes, simply running FF9 in easy to adjust features like higher resolution, color, frame rate, and with texture filter makes it look more like a Dreamcast game. I remember back in the day I wished Square dared to release FF9 for both PS1 and Dreamcast. That way PS fans wouldn't feel betrayed and Square could make some easy extra money and fans. Licensing a game for the Dreamcast was incredibly cheap because Sega was desperate and the Dreamcast was also very easy to program for. Since FF9 wouldn't be maxing out the DC hardware it would be all the easier to affordably make the game for the DC as well. Unlike FF7 or 8 it wouldn't be a more costly and time-consuming "port" as they could have made FF9 from the ground up with both consoles in mind, considering the time of its release. It could have mostly had the same graphics, but just doing small things such as pre-rendered backgrounds in a higher resolution. I don't think Sony would have minded since they knew Square would still focus on the PS2 for future projects and pretty much everyone in the world already knew that. **Sigh** What could have been...

[@ultracellez1989]

@@zimtak6418 growing up I always felt that Sega was the cheaper and less classy competitor to Nintendo. They have switched their "we are a __, gaming company," many times. Have always been cruder and more aggressive, like a trailer park neighbor. Look at their games which always have been more response driven. Sonic for example, ruder and more in your face. Their comercials, "we do what Nintendon't." I'm glad they went under. Maybe it's cos I just woke up and not had my coffee, but good riddance lol

i see a lot of anime influences with these summons. Squaresoft were so good adding these effects and it work for them so well. the loading time was unnoticeable too which was even more amazing at the time

[@CaptainFalcoyd]

The effects were MORE impressive on PS1. A lot of them don't work properly in the HD port, especially in Madeen and Ark's animations.

[@luxeraph]

Lots of overheating, I clearly remember my ps1 heating so much when playing this, not sure if it ever force shutdown.

[@erickmartinus5438]

Best battle theme ever IMO

[@hurotiz]

I like that FF9 incorporated the summons into the story line. FF7 kind of was like: oh heres some materia! FF8's summons always felt like afterthoughts that were only really used to give the players some more skills. FF9 had some of the most amazing cutscenes that gave life to the summons of its world. Seeing summons doing their work made FF9 a treat for me, understanding just how powerful these beings are while watching Odin, Bahamut, Atomos and Alexander do their thing was amazing. Despite the game being a bit wonky at times, still my favorite FF.

[@pezdispencer113]

How are ff8 summons an afterthought? They're the whole reason why the party don't remember their past, the orphanage or Edea. They also completely enable the entire battle system of the game. Out of every FF game I've played the FF8 summons are the most integral.

[@akapsi7679]

I used the summons alot in during my first playthrough of FF VIII . Only after I realized I could Renzokuken every enemy into the oblivion in a matter of seconds did I lay back on the summons. Guess my point is that the sumons in FF VIII are powerful, but not as powerful (or fast) as Limitbreaks are. Therefore people generally don't use them.

[@regizero333]

I see your point. Coming from 7 and 8 when 1st u had multiple 9000+ damage strikes and later a long ass summon which broke de 9999 damage chart, 9 and their summons feel weak in comparison, also they are pretty much wasted potential b'cause your main summoners are also your main healers. But i think it a was a developer's desicion to balance the game. In 8 for example, limit breaks and summons were kinda broken making the last bosses a breeze to defeat. Also u have to add the fact that in that game and 7, bosses had over 100000 hp, reaching the whooping number of 1 million+ at the omega weapon fight. In comparison ff9 bearly surpasses de 50k hp mark being ozma the toughest 65k or 70k hp. So i see why the 9999 damage limit. Anyway 9 is still my favourite game and still prefer it over the 2 others of the ps1 era.

The way ff9 added the word "death" to signify an instant death effect looks silly, its like - "thank you captain obvious" no need to rub it on our faces. But honestly, aside from Carbuncle and Phoenix, the rest of the eidolons featured are merely for aesthetic purposes only if used in battle.

[@sofaris576]

The damge of Eidolons increases with the numbers of Gems you hold. So if you have enough "Garnet" gems in your inventory Bahamut easily deals 9999 damage and since thats pretty much the best you can do in 1 turn I say that is pretty good. Carbuncles reflect buff lasts such a short amount of time that I found it not to be that usefull. I got more use out of Bahamut. Getting a alot of "Garnets" is pretty easy. Yes Pheonix is awsome.

i always choose millenial decay and terra homing for summons

[@cacadordenarcisistas4235]

Me favorites were ark and bahamut...

[@yosephpramudiabambang8736]

@@cacadordenarcisistas4235 ark great but long scene

[@Jim-pq9pm]

Ark with the DBZ level energy blast

[@Cael_Dereck]

Leviathan has always been my all time favourite.

Something I haven't read yet is various sound fx aren't properly carried over into the upscaled version of FF9. There are graphical oddities or glitches during some of these animations. The auditory punch and awe are deflated compared to the PS1 version which is why I prefer that one. I was appalled at the sounds during the Ark summon in this video, wtf were they thinking with those mis-timed fxs and Ark's main weapon being engaged at 9:25 being soft instead of a deafening sharp clank!!

Didn't realise carbuncle did different lights

Will never forget being at the last boss thinking I lost but then Phoenix rose me from the ashes and I proceeded to win. Still chasing that high til this day lmao

[@eurytonbuzz7157]

Now I know what to watch on my Big Screen. (⌐■_■): Favs; Phoenix, Fenrir, Madeen and Leviathan. 👍🏼👍🏼 Thank you for nostalgia moments. (FFIX updated 2020)

The only time I ever triggered rebirth flame was on my first ever playthrough as a kid and Hades KO’d me when he had like 1000 health left. I screamed so loud my mom thought I was dying.

I’ve noticed as a adult now vs me as a child playing this on the PlayStation console originally that Shiva wore a lot less clothing than I remembered or just innocently didn’t observe

[@davidmedford1166]

I don't know which summon animation is longer. FF9's Ark or FF8's Eden

[@lonely90ification]

Ark 2 minute,eden 3 minute 40 sec

Good thing summons get nerfed in battles otherwise there wouldn't be a world left to save by the end of this.

Best FF game of all TIME, did anyone love how you get weapons that come with spells and stuff and all you gotta do is use it till it’s mastered. And all the side quests were so well done the Chocobo hunts and digging. You already got a phenomenal story, musical score…..I’m still playing this game to this day!!. The fun factor on this game is priceless. I always tell friends that are worried about learning magic spells in RPG’s play FF9 it’s easy to understand and use.

You know what sucks? Is that both carbuncle and Fenrir have multiple variations of summon power.. so why couldn't they do that for Bahamut as well? Y'know like mega flare, giga flare and terra flare just like ff7.. EDIT: we ARE talking about the game that was also meant to have LOADS of callouts and references to the past eight games here.. shame they missed the mark here
