Watched this video a couple of months after finishing the game. Thank you for your narration, it made me realize that I missed some important plot points (Garnet replacing the original dead princess and Kuja saving the crew with the teleportation). The story is pretty straight-forward until Garland shows up. While the Terra - Gaia situation is simple, there are lots of intricacies and small details that you probably miss during your first playthrough. So thank you once again for creating this video!

I absolutely love this game. IX has been my favourite since I was young. I love the development both Kuja and Zidane get especially in the last disc. Plus if you play the dissidia games it shows that Kuja really did have a change of heart and if he had lived past the ending he would have likely tried to atone for his actions which i think is a really nice touch.

After playing through every mainline FF game recently (not xi or xiv) FF IX has easily become my new favourite, overtaking VII & X. I did use an improvement patch which just speeds up the atb bar for you and the enemy. In my opinion this massively improves the game and makes the battles so much more enjoyable as the speed feels much closer to VII & VIII's battle speed.

Xygor, thank you thank you thank you for making this video. I remember when I was a kid and saw bigger boys playing Breath of Fire on SNES and I was hooked with the RPG's for life. Now as far as FF games go FF IX is my number 2 FF game ever - VI taking the first place. Somewhow I feel that FF IX at the time kinda flew under the radar because I don't remember it having the sametype of hype as VII or VIII. But yeah, IXis fantastic - it brought back that really magical world feeling, music is fantasic, artwork is beautiful and I really like the characters being very unique. Also what I really like is the world map and just how many minigames and secrets the FF IX had - chocobo hot and cold, treasure seraching, bubbles, dead pepper caves, stellazzio quest, ragtime mouse, friendly monsters, hidden bosses etc. Theres just so much stuff.

This was my first final fantasy game I played. Have to admit, I got massively invested in the characters even past some of the goofier aspects. The blue mage marshmallow CAN be massively powerful if used right. The big thing that bugged me was all the will they/won't they with Dagger and Zidane... but at the end, I want to say it was worth it. (I want to - but I'm Irish, and I can hold a grudge as a Scorpio) Three words. On either end. One paragraph about a future that didn't even have to actually be written as canonically true - but again would also have been nice. The two literally marry and she borks it by saying "Murgh, only for this region." Leave it be, it should be unsaid, since it basically continued ever after at any rate... but in constant question. At least for me it did. Mystery's only good up to the point it's actively frustrating to figure out who's feeling what, exactly, for whom. Then it's just aggrevatingly stubborn. I tried I think it was 6, as the one I could find on the system I had, after that... I did not get that magic system. The one with S.E.E.D. rank stuff, or whatever. It confused the heck out of me. I've beaten 10, didn't bother with 10.2 - can't play online for 11, 12 was a bit painful and I never did beat it because the orginal game I believe had a trick with the very end boss where I think you couldn't damage it until you did a certain something. Which might be a move I didn't bother/or know I was meant to purchase... I don't quite recall. I do know I got to like level 80-90's and had every character with an Eildion, so I never could figure out what I did wrong. I tried 13 and just... no. For many, many reasons. I skipped 13.2 and played Lightning Returns for about 5 minutes before the "time management" mechanic peeved me right off, for the pressure. Again, I tend not to play online, so I had to skip 14, 15 was convoluted, I didn't like the real time combat or teleporty gimmick. I also didn't like the whole "you don't really understand how monarchies and dynasties work, do you?" aspect. (The royal couple has to live - or at least have the chance to actually breed, for their rule to be carried on) Doesn't matter if they saved their world, they'd been raised as stewards of their respective cities and they utterly failed on that point. I'm not hopeful for 16 if I'm being honest. I don't like being the "overpowered grunt." Part of the FANTASY of 'saving the kingdom' or definitely 'saving the world' in the medieval setting sense, is being rewarded with actual rank at the end. Marrying the princess, making a family in well earned peace afterward. The End. Too many people forget that; and I think that's a part of this game's mass appeal. It got back to it's fantastical roots while still sort of dipping into sci fi, but it kept the roots of what was important to people that like Fairy Tales. Then again, it's just my opinion. You could be powerful as all get out by the end, if you put in the work. It's one of those games you get into it, what you're willing to put in. [Though fuck those cactus guys... whoever designed them and Tonberry; you are one sadistic bastard my friend]

FFIX was an extraordinary experience back when. My first Final Fantasy to ever finish, FFVII was available before but I knew nothing of this franchise since living in Europe. There was this magical immersion that sucked me into its world of story telling. Especially the music is what made the whole trip exciting while relating to an adventure of wonderful characters! There wasn't anything else to compare with in terms of gameplay quality and charming graphics. Later on I realized my new found hunger for the RPG genre. Games such as Legend of Dragoon, FFVII and many more were next in line! What an incredible time it was growing up during the late 90s and playing all these amazing classics, which I will cherish for the rest of my life..

Shout out for Brahne, one of the most polarizing villains I’ve ever seen. She starts out just appearing as a monster of greed and sloth, a Kefka analog if you will; but you begin to see she’s just an older woman suffering heartbreaking losses and being taken control of by an evil being who used her fears and insecurities against her. Her death was actually very sad to me, because as we saw she could have been saved.

I.. mysteriously remember all the thing that should be collected throughout the game whenever I played it even tho i usually forget about all of them. always completed it near 100% everytime without a guide. The only thing that I never get is.. EXCALIBUR II. That thing is cursed.

Personally I think my favorite is the section right after Zidane gets his ass kicked by Garland and they chase him into the sort of prison dungeon - and he's telling them off - mostly because I love that song "You're not alone" :-D

@soyelchamako0954

"Idk how anyone could not love this game" - cause it feels childish compared to 7 and 8, even compared to 6. Combat was boring. There was nothing interesting about the characters' abilities. And the story takes too long to develop into something meaningful. Even when it does, if you are already fed up with everything I mentioned, then you won't appreciate the story. Even in this summary, it felt like it took forever for the story to get decent (and not exactly good). So, this is not to start arguing about how awesome the game is or isn't (it is not great in my eyes, but it is a masterpiece in yours), but just to give an answer to your rhetoric (not so rhetoric) question. At the end of the day, you enjoyed it and that is the important part.

FFVIII is the very first FF game I know but the very first FF game I played is FFIX. For me this is my introduction to FF series. To be honest Vivi is the one who is the main protagonist of this game. He is the reason why I love FFIX. His identity crisis is so depressing and makes me think of my existence when I was a kid. I just hope the remake will be good.
