FFIX - Assault Of The Silver Dragons

[@alexlun4464]

The most epic part about this scene is how even though Lindblum was literally eaten in half just a few weeks ago and totally obliterated, they still came back strong with their airships. Badass city.

[@Eat_shit--die_mad]

I mean only a third of the city was destroyed but ya it was bad and they still had the fire power

[@andrewgause6971]

It's also a terrifying demonstration of *why* Brahne wanted the Eidelons before she took on Lindblum. Those dragons would be more than a match for Alexandria's soldiers, and the Lindblum battleships are tearing through them like a hot knife through butter. Can you imagine what that fleet would do to Alexandria's conventional forces?

[@EpicGamer-fl7fn]

@@andrewgause6971 yeah im surprised no one is mentioning this. Alexandria was definetly the weakest kingdom on the continent, with practically no actual backbone to support their country with. Burmecia had the grotto, A giant sandstorm that acted like a natural defense against any airships coming through on top of having pretty strong dragon knights. Lindblum practically dominated the continent with its surperior Airship technology and a city that is way bigger than we even think. Its kinda sad infact that we only visit a fraction of it because on multiple shots during cinematics we can clearly see just how insanely huge that city actually is. Meanwhile what does Alexandria have? all they have is a farm and two big cities, both filled to the brim with lazy Nobility, while the poor people are trying to get by either by stealing or working their hardest. I think its no coincidence infact that Alexandria and Treno have the most nobility on the continent, while in Lindblum you can see that this whole "class system" doesnt exactly exist there. Not only she wanted to get eidolons before going against Lindblum, she also needed Black Mages to even stand a chance against dragon knights and soldiers of Burmecia. Brahne got way too greedy and confident the moment she saw that she could obliterate a mighty city like Lindblum by just summoning a giant monster. If she could do that, then why not just obliterate one gay dude on a white dragon? and thats where she got it wrong.

[@DarkDyllon]

@@EpicGamer-fl7fn Well, Brahne also had Beatrix who has been told to slay an 100 warriors in 1 fight single handedly, even through the story, the Burmecians don't really put up much of an fight. on the ground they kinda just get obliterated by black mages and later on our cast gets wiped by Beatrix easily. Then in Cleyra we find out that they Cleyrans aren't exactly adept in combat, so basically useless especially against someone like Beatrix, she could literally follow our cast, yoink the crystal and walk out and nobody could do anything against them. Possibly Fratley might've put up an decent fight, but would've died against Beatrix 100% Lindblum only really dominated the sky and that's only after Cid got restored to an human, before that he was completely useless and literally every ship he would design would fail, as seen aswel in disc 3 when they fly from Treno to Alexandria, that airship could barely handle that short flight, while human Cid designed the Hilda Garden 1, which Kuja yoinked because it was an excelent and fast ship. and later ofcourse Hilda Garden 3. Lindblum soldiers lack any form of brains though, during the Alexandria vs Lindblum FMV we see the Lindblum soldiers ... opening the outside gate and being completely caught off guard by the black mages, even though they know that Alexandria has black mages at their disposal, most of the working airships at that point got destroyed since Cid was still an oglop at that point.

[@DarkDyllon]

@@Eat_shit--die_mad but the majority of the airships were destroyed and Cid was still an oglop and in the oglop/frog state he couldn't design working airships, hell the 1 closest to working was the 1 that the crew took from Treno to Alexandria and that barely held up.

Omg has it been that long?! And it never gets old for me!

[@MoreImbaThanYou]

This scene, the music, it offers so much for modern animation. The Lindblum fleet or what is left of it after the events of the game, ascending from the clouds. Boarded by ordinary men as well as soldiers, sick of war, tired, but united in the ambition to safe the world they live in. Cid and Hildegard standing side by side on the flagships bridge, staring into the sheer overwhelming masses of dragon that they are about to assault, or rather get assaulted by, a seemingly suicide-mission, but yet they keep their pride, keeping composure, only them holding each others hand tightly shows a signature of their true feelings. The red rose last ship of the alexandrian fleet, intercepting one wave of dragons and afterwards firing broadside after broadside, unleashing hell in the skies, while being torn apart by some dragons that manage to break through te barrage. Beatrix, first standing on the bridge, calmly giving oders, then drawing her sword to fight alongsider her soldiers, to fend of Dragons from the deck. I know I am a nerd, but give me this scene in modern grapchics, more detailed to a runtime of 6-8 minutes and i can die in peace.

[@adriandelapaz6778]

MoreImbaThanYou my thoughts exactly, ff9 has a lot to offer, i just wished swuaresoft expanded each scene more, more dialogues, longer storyline, the game is very easy to beat but the story is magnificent.

[@anthorainwat]

This is probably one of my most favorite scenes in FF history. It’s a symbol of the entire world fighting against one person’s death sentence.

[@NeoArashi]

I dunno if it's my favorite scene overall, but definitely my favorite dungeon intro scene.

[@DaciValt]

A whole world vs 1 mans insanity. One of the reasons FF9 will remain my favorite FF game.

[@MysteriousMrL]

Oh man, this scene way back when. I have such a vivid memory of it. I had just gotten past this part and was talking to a friend on the phone about where he was in the game. He had a save where this would be the very next thing he'd see, but decided to hold off on entering the last dungeon for the weekend since he figured this was endgame. So I told him, "Just hang up right now, go ahead and fly to the tree. Call me back when you're done." However many minutes later my phone rings and when I pick up he's immediately shouting, "Ohmygod ohmygod! That was awesome!!!"

[@SamsarasArt]

Just to remind everyone. This incredible scene takes place on a PS1. I have no idea how squaresoft made this happen.

[@matthewseligman5470]

A lot of the cutscene was pre-rendered on another computer and then converted into an mp4 file, before being compressed down enough for a PS1 to handle. The console isn't really doing anything so much as playing back the mp4 file when the game tells it to.

[@tiveqcriarcontanova]

@@matthewseligman5470 doesn't take away from the fact that Final Fantasy 9 is the absolute best looking game of the Playstation 1. If it were easy to do, all other games would've.

[@BahamutZerodragon]

what makes this even more awesome is that both Lindblum and Alexandra both came to help even though both were still recovering from being devastated.

[@A1phaDrag0n]

My spine tingles every time the music shifts and the fleet emerges from the mist. This scene was a cumulative effect of the heroes actions throughout the game. Kuja and Garland may have had the heroes on the back foot throughout the game but the unifying actions of Zidane's charisma and compassion and Garnet's selfless duty brought the shattered nations of Gaia together. They lost all their respective battles but won this pivotal war, which was the turning point against Kuja's dispear. Maybe I'm just a sucker for this kind of story telling, but seeing long reaching commitment to good deeds pulling people together into a driving force of change always makes my spirit soar.

[@DarkDyllon]

love how far Steiner and Zidane have come over the course of the game. from Steiner wanting to kill Zidane. to Steiner possibly bargaining with the queen to shorten Zidanes sentence. to Steiner actually staying behind to cover Zidane and Garnets escape from Alexandria. to Steiner giving Zidane an hard time for being down. to completely trusting Garnet with Zidane. and then in this cutscene when Beatrix shows up and he's like "the red rose?! could it be Beatrix?!" and Zidane responding with "that's quite a woman you fell in love with" and then Steiner "you're the one to talk" With Garnets comment "what does that mean?" like shit, he completely accepted at that point Zidane and Garnet were a set, while before most of their adventures together they couldn't stand each other.

[@generalMills222]

Amazing characters and character development

[@NeoArashi]

Steiner wasn't giving Zidane a hard time for being down. He flat out said he was "still considering" if he was the right man for Garnet. At that point, Zidane had gained Steiner's respect to the point he was considering him a potential husband for Garnet

Everytime someone says FFIX is the worst of the series, I always show them this and they have to shut up. While FFIX has other AWESOME scenes and awesome gameplay and awesome plot and characters, this one scene is worth the price of admission.

[@Dragonfury3000]

those ppl havent played the game. This is the best of series for me it provides a true adventure with many memorable scenes without any lame romance scenes like in ff7 ,8 and 10 the stuff in here is all great.

[@CearaIvory]

Yeah.. FFVII and VIII wanted to make it all about the cool graphics and the love story. FFIX had a really good believable love story by simply not forcing it. It mixed well with the main plot of the story instead of making it the focus.

[@Elfinlocksable]

Ceara Ivory The difference between FFIX and any other of the series(Tactics aside--god damn that games storytelling is another level) is the level of maturity with the themes it handles. FFIX delves into dark themes such as genocide(Cleyra), and purpose(Vivi, Zidane, any of the characters really). Not to mention one of the strongest female characters in any game ever, Beatrix, the boss that the player never actually beats but instead gets cleaved down by three times(Climhazzard, anybody?) But yeah, TLDR: FFIX is on another level.

[@littleraven89]

I've never heard anyone call IX the worst. I always see people say that about XII and XIII. Personally IX and VII are my favorites. The whole PS1 era was amazing though.

[@CearaIvory]

I have a heart plenty of people hate on IX. Their main complaint is always the same. The main character has a tail and is a womanizer. At least he had a personality!

[@zidanelionheart]

I know we all get giddy about Lindblum’s arrival but what gets me is literally the very beginning of the song and video, the strings and the “dun-duh duh duh duh” followed by thousands of dragons pouring out…it’s just so fucking cool. To me, a war in the sky at the end of the world, between dragons and man made airships, is just the absolute epitome of “Final Fantasy”

[@kueapel911]

After 30+ times of replaying the game over and over again, I'm surprised this still give me the chills. That's despite newer JRPG games constantly failing to impress me. Damn, what a masterpiece of a game. If only the gameplay element have a bit more depth, this could easily be the most perfect game ever.

[@HoneyBadger363]

Watching Lindblum's navy rising from the clouds was epic and seeing the Red Rose enter the battle was icing on the cake. Despite Lindblum being destroyed, her navy was intact and all the sailors aboard those ships were there that day to exact vengeance on behalf of Lindblum's people.

[@TheGroundedAviator]

Well some of her ships were destroyed in their hangers.

[@NeoArashi]

Lindlumb was not destroyed. One of its sector was, sure, but the other two sector suffered some damages, and as Artania tells Zidane and Dagger, the castle was spared completely. And where was Lindlumb battle fleet? Yup, in the Castle. On top of that, there was now mist all over the world, so Cid could easily use his old fleet that require Mist, on top of whatever battle airship he built after the Hilda Garde III. It's no surprise that Cid and his troops were battle-ready despite the damage their city suffered.

[@Willy2537]

I have this idea inside my head, about how this cutscene would have been done if FFIX is ever made into a full-length film or a polished HD remake: Everything will play out as it did in this video at the beginning only in high-res, adrenaline-boosting action sequence, up until around 1:44, where in addition to the Red Rose, some surviving Burmecians will also join the fight, riding freakin' dragons of their own as well (most of their best warriors are Dragoons, after all), led by Sir Fratley (who, in my mind, received some character development in Freya's much needed subplot earlier that I planned to add in the movie adaptation or HD remake). The Nova Dragon would have fly out of that pink glowing thing and engages the combined airfleet itself, inflicting some casualties to demonstrate its power. Garnet would then summon none other than Bahamut itself and it will engage the Nova Dragon in battle (because I wanted Bahamut to have his comeback after being defeated by Alexander, and because honestly, how the heck did the party go out of the Invincible and fight the dragon on foot inside the glowing thing anyway if it's supposed to take them to Memoria?). After the Bahamut weakens it in a beam-o-war, Freya and Fratley would deliver the killing blow together using their Jump attacks, Fratley from his mounted dragon (Gizamaluke himself) and Freya from the Invincible. Fratley would then catch Freya mid-air and fly her back to the Invincible as it's about to enter the glowing pink ball to enter Memoria. And that's about it!

[@StormWolfJachinDue]

I want to see that!

The Burmecian were wiped out though. The only left are Freya, her lost lover, Prince Puck and that one familly that managed to reach Lindlum. That's like 6-7 Burmecian, with only 3 being soldiers, among which one is a party member, and one has lost memory. That leaves us with a total of ONE Burmecian who could actually join in, and he's not a dragon knight/dragoon like Freya is.

As epic as this scene is(and it is very much so,) I wish they had got Garnet to use one of her Eidolons, just to further add to the awesomeness of the entire thing.

This cinematic is very stronger... Imagine, Lindblum was destroy by Alexandria, but theses both come to help us. I always love this situation

The only downfall to this part was when they played the original boss music instead of playing the Silver Dragon song when you fight the silver dragon. This is still one of my favorite scenes from the game and in the series.

[@NeoArashi]

The Silver Dragon song was actually a dungeon music to begin with. It wouldn't be fitting. The regular boss theme is much better for the situation.

Everything about this cutscene is magnificent

[@BaronSengir1008]

Probably the best Big Damn Heroes moment ever...

[@nerdsounds]

Haha "Noobuo Uematsu is a gentleman and a scholar." Love the reference.

[@gcat65]

DAMIT why do my three favorite songs in the game only play ONCE

[@杉村敏子]

Alexandria and Lindblum teaming together. Queen Brahne must have been proud.

Game of Thrones: we got Dragons Final Fantasy 9: We got AN ARMY of dragons

[@Slixer]

There will only ever be one thing to ever top this, a version in which every final fantasy is involved in such an event.

BEST part is that the guy who's playing this is OG enough to know that Garnet's real name is Sarah

[@telefeeb1]

I always thought that "Feel My Blade" should have made a reprise somewhere later in the game, some time with a real showdown and an epic struggle against the odds, somewhere close to the end. Right about here, really. On one hand, the original song makes for more tension but using feel my blade would have better matched the lightness in the dialogue and the overall daring of the whole scene. Had the battle segment drop as they come out of the clouds... the thought gives me goosebumps!

I could definitely hear the FF8 overture music at the beginning..

[@gabe_liu9095]

1:48 best part

[@0uryuken260]

One Of the best scene in FF series so far.... Need to be extend just for 4 - 6 minutes

[@Luxai]

Imagine if Alexandria had tries to conquer them without Atomos. What a decisive loss it would have been.

[@kingjesster]

hell yeah!!! FFIX the shit love it
