[@HeWhoEnjoysTehVids]

every time I beat this game I feel a sense of sadness and longing it's really one of the most well crafted FF games in existence

[@emilianomerendino3311]

World building especially

[@BigMuddyCountry]

FF7 is my favorite game with all the sidequests in it and optional bosses, FF9 is my favorite story of any game.

[@friednoodle6582]

I know I'm 9 years too late to comment but FFIX is one hell of an emotional ride from start to finish. Vivi is definitely my favorite character, his struggle for finding the truth then realizing he's nothing more than a puppet and coming into terms with it and a life so so short. I bawled my eyes out at the end when said farewell, then laugh when an army of Vivi casually walking the streets of Alexandria.

[@Heartmaster777]

I hate hearing and reading everyone saying that they should remake FF 7. FF9 was thousands of times better and deserves a complete remake with voice acting and a completely rebuilt world with next gen grade models and textures!

[@SillyDeal1604]

So deserved to ff8

[@fakespuehlbecken]

tyler godfrey yes of course ff9 is better

[@blockraven22]

There’s is definitely more dialogue in ff9, but 7 was the better game overall. Ff9 while it isn’t a bad game, it feels too much like Harry Potter meets the hobbit.

[@figjam9530]

tyler godfrey, agreed. tho if 9 has one glaring bad point, it's that it's too easy. only 2 monsters give you any real trouble, ozma and the little fuckers on vile isle. also, you need to be able to save your trance for when you need it, not have it just trigger when it's full, that's total bullshit. can't think of anything else wrong with the game, tbh, one of my all time favs.

[@nicholasmorgan7609]

tyler godfrey I love FFIX as it is. Sure, that would be awesome, what you said, and if they fixed what problems I had withe the game, it'd be even better, but I don't think FFIX needs it. That said, I hope the FFVII remake will be good because I liked the original. Not as much as 9, but still.

[@BeakerPD]

I will always remember this game. It is the first game that truly touched me. My dad played it almost through to the end, while I often watched, but then 9/11 happened, and he was one of the first called away. I decided to take up this game as a way to feel close to him. I loved the story and the characters, and while I was only around 12-13 and not at all good at JRPGs (this was my first one), I grinded and scraped my way to the end. I will always remember when I beat the last boss. He used his move that reduced the entire party to 1 hp, and, out of mana and decent items, I knew my only hope was to attack all out. I did, and still he stood. However, for some reason, he used that same move again, meaning my party was still alive. I attacked all out. He still lived. Yet, against all logic, he used the same move a third time. I finished him off. I was so excited. I watched the ending and wanted to immediately tell my dad all about it, but, of course, I could not, and even if I could, I did not want to spoil it for him (yeah, spoilers were a thing, even in 2002). I remember writing to him, explaining how I defeated the last boss and how amazing the ending was, and being so excited when he finally got home and could see it for himself. I hounded him for days to play so he could see and he finally did within a week of making it home (much easier than I, because he actually knew what he was doing). Basically, I fucking love this game, and this ending. It will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@miriareu]

Beautiful Memories. :)

[@Diablosco]

[@XYourMother69420X]

[@stevenkimdmd]

This is a perfect example of a timeless game that does not ever get old. And it is not because of detailed graphics. Game developers should realize that by now and focus on more important aspects when they make one.

Kuja's theme is so fucking AWESOME! And Kuja's master, Garland; his theme is fucking AWESOME as well

[@adub4ever]

Final Fantasy 9 & Chrono Cross were my first RPGs I ever beat. FF7 & FF10 definitely are my other favorites, but FF9 is just so classic, & was a great experience to play as a kid. Great Game.

[@eartianwerewolf]

+adub4ever holy cow FF9 and Chrono Cross are like my two faves too. My other is Wild Arms and Suikoden. fF7 doesn't do much for me, but it's obvious I have a thing for fantasy over sci fi.

[@eartianwerewolf]

+Rick Nos I actualy highly agree with you. The problem with Final Fantasy 9 is the gameplay is lacking. It's soo easy- too simple, no challenge to it. The story is marvelous and the music is spot on...the art...but the gameplay not as much. Maybe I just need to turn it onto the hardest setting though.

[@jayfresh9022]

+adub4ever bro final fantasy 9, chrono cross, wild arms 2, legend of dragoon, and breath of fire 1 for game boy advanced were my fav games got them all almost same time with final fantasy 9 being the first and chrono second it is my all time fav ff9.

[@Daybreak6427]

There's no- ...Vivis sons.. ...holy Shit. Wait what about Mikoto? Sure she joined the crew late game but she could have thought this.

[@Terestrasz]

when I was a kid I did something very immature. I named Vivi "idiot" to make Puck say "Yeeeeow! Look at all the idiots!"

[@tidetidus]

There are tonnes of references to the older FF games in this one! not just the Cloud Squall Hinder us one, but the Cornelia one from FF1, the story of Josef death in FF2 when you are talking to ramuh, all the pluto knights (there are 9 of them, each one is different, cant remember exactly), the fact that Zidane, Steiner, Vivi and Garnet are the first party and thats the default party in FF1 for Jobs, Freya is a dragoon, there is Kains Lance somewhere. The Chocobo is called bobby Corwen (Boco from FF5?), the Trance is from FF6 right, with the pink light, Victory theme is original FF1 style, pandeomium is from FF2, there is Garland from FF1, The boss at the end is Necron (similar to Xdeath in FF5) where they use Grand Cross, the Sword in Linblum in a shop references cloud from FF7. the Start of the battle theme is the same as the first 6 games music, its all about Crystals (FF1. 4 and 5) , theres a Hilgigas boss, Amarants No Mercy is from Seifer... there are tonnes of them. Also there are loads of references to the number 9. Its awesome!!

[@hartantoanggoro]

FF9 is a mixed from all series before it, that's why it's colorful. It has many FF reference symbolizes it as a huge world as one big game, a detail that rarely carried over by the successors after FF9.

[@lamtartarus]

auto regen so op...

[@felipelaser1763]

Yeah this has to be my fav FF. The world is so charming, the characters are so endearing and memorable and the story, though all over the place like every other FF, is arguably at least 3rd behind 7 and 6. We actually had a protagonist with some positivity and humor and wasn't a sighing, stoic emo-punk bitch. The battle system is basic old school FF, but classic in its homage to the SNES era. Some of its nostalgia goggles, sure, but this is FF at its best.

[@eartianwerewolf]

+Felipe Laser This is my favorite too. I have to admit I played it first so I know I may have been tainted for my vision of what Final Fantasy should be. I do think the gameplay could have been better- and since 5 is very similar tone and is my favorite to play, I wish they had used a similar system and challenge level like they had in 5.

[@felipelaser1763]

I think what 9 has over 5 is story and characters, but 5 is probably the most immersive combat system in the series (aside from the controversial gf/juntion system in 8)

[@FernandoNINETorres]

Whilst FF7 was great and prob better, this FF9 had a sort of moral warmness to it. Innocents against evil. Even at the end, Zidane saves his mortal enemy and shows forgiveness.

[@ScotlandSlag]

FFIX is the best when it comes to story. I like your summary.

[@kgisabeast]

They would ruin it if they remade it, this game is literally so perfect they wouldn't be able to top it if they did it again with new people making it, and for ps1 it looks amazing unlike 7 which looks pretty bad. The original is still great

FFIX devotees (I've played it through at least a dozen times, the slow way, fighting every optional boss and completing every side-quest), I've posted a Melodies of Life video I think you'd all enjoy - not much action, just focusing on Garnet and Zidane, but I'll make more. :)

[@DoranGale]

***** Thanks for the suggestions; there are a couple there I haven't heard of or tried, but I have tried many challenges, such as the Excalibur challenge, and it just ruins the fun of the game for me. I simply prefer to take my time and enjoy every little facet of the game, always feeling such a rush when I discover a little something new almost every time for my efforts.

[@rocklobster4942]

Hi i'm Necron and i'm gonna come out of fucking nowhere

[@Kara99tg]

I always assumed that either he was created by the crystals or that the crystals kept him bound, since he has the spinny ring around him like the crystal did. It's also kind of a throwback to earlier FF's when the final boss wasn't even introduced until the very end. Either way, he was a terrible boss.

[@Moooras]

And I'm gonna kill everyone because why the hell not xD

[@zebulia01]

maybe he's a omnipotent demon to the ff9 realm because think necron necro = dead maybe he was like that one guy from a previous ff that killed the head honcho of hell

[@wongb316]

The original final boss concept was supposed to be Hades. The dialogue would've made sense too since it was never altered. But due to the trend of FF bosses being over the top upper torsos (Sephiroth, Ultimecia, even Jecht) Necron was thot up. Plus im sure the idea of god showing up outta no where to smite you would've upset some people.

[@flaviofazio8048]

I want to fucking die Sorry, I know it's a very old comment, but I just wanted to answer this because Necron it's perhaps one of the clearest things in the confused and fascinating backstory of the game. Necron is the incarnation of death and, even though we don't know why he appears after the crystal (maybe it's the symbolic thing of death (necron) being after life (the crystal)), he's the true villain because death is the main theme of FFIX, aboveall during Brahne and Kuja's campaigns, lots of people died and at the end even Vivi. Death is what devastates the world thanks to fear and antagonists' actions. If you think about it, all the villains face that eventually (Garland, Kuja and Brahne). Our heroes, after Kuja tries to destoy life (the crystal), enter the dimension Of death where they must win in order to prevent death from conquering the world and restore life itself. It's a real metaphorical ending and I like it because it makes a lot of sense. Why the Iifa Tree doesn't want Zidane to save Kuja is still unclear though, like many others details and plot events. This game has some of the most huge and complex backstory, cut content and lore I've seen for a game of that time, a part from the wonderful themes it gives that are taken for granted. They could have given some explanation of the main plot points, at least...

[@_RizkyGumilar_]

FF VI and FF IX are still the greatest FF ever

[@fabianshamano5953]

hey I have played this so many times I can't even count but I never noticed that; good point he does not appear the the end seances, I guess I was to fixated on weather Kuja really made it or not to realize that Vivi didn't... wow!

[@michaelmarriott9761]

well what from I gathered. Vivi died 1 year after the battle and before the ending scene. They had 3 Black Mages in the ending scene but they werent Vivi. Which is a very sad thought. He was my favorite character because of his story and the magic he can wield.

[@lecorbak]

are you realizing that at the end, every character dies ? not only vivi ?

[@michaelmarriott9761]

Not every character does. I know Vivi and Zack Fair dies in their respective games

[@PhantomR32]

FFIX will always be my favorite FF. Although, looking back on it, that ATB meter was awfully slow. And I wish there was a way you could save your trance, instead of the game forcing you to use it. Those are my only two gripes about the game.

[@V-Jes]

other issues i have with this game that buffs stay way too short time and grand cross is just bs

Zhnigo wait, thats a secret ending?? whats the original, ive only ever seen this ending every time i have played through this game

[@IidosGamingDen]

Creamer Of The Dairy Squad The whole original ending is intact here. The secret scene does not change or replace anything; if you don't have the hammer, and don't get the scene, it'll just go straight to the scene at 36:52 after Blank knocks out "Cornelia".

[@rocistone7507]

Older people will play the classic games until the discs melt away, but today, all that the younger generation plays is this FPS garbage. Yet, the younger ones will tell you that they've seen videos like this, so they know about these games and so on and so forth.. My question is this: How can anyone who has seen footage like this go back to playing ripoffs and reboots of rehashed games, and still say they don't mind the obvious lack of Quality? You would think that anyone who sees games like FF9 would drop all this other garbage, and make noises like they want to see more games like FF9. But then they go to the shops and they pay 60 bucks for another box full of FPS crap . Then, in the same breath, they wonder why there are no more games like FF9. I suppose my problem is that I'm old enough to remember when players had real influence on the game market. Now, it's become "You'll take what we decide to give you" from a handful of companies who just don't care anymore.. But you really have to wonder if it's really the players themselves who don't give a crap anymore.

at 34:54 Marcus says "No cloud, no squall shall hinder us!" haha a homage to to FF7 and FF8 :)

[@sen0314]

It leads more towards Kuja's demise just before Lifa's roots trapped them. His death was a classic one. His body went limp (his head suddenly fell to the ground/turned to the side) showing that his body finally gave out. At the end, Zidane and Garnet reunite and the surviving cast cheered. Kuja wasn't present. Mikoto was able to find Zidane because he sang Dagger's song which Mikoto was able to hear due to the ability of the Genomes to communicate telepathically.

I love this game to bits, but after going on a 4-disc journey of self-discovery, and coming to grips with our impending mortality, I feel like fighting and winning against the personification of death goes against the message of the game. The music is fantastic, though.

[@supremeworld87]

The games central theme is life, so the final boss being 'death' personified seems apt to me.

[@Thaledge101]

Yeah he personifies death but it's not about beating death it's about overcoming death and realising that we live on in the memories of others.

holy crap vivi does die huh i guess since i only finished this game once i never realized that. i guess thats the second saddest part in a ff game

[@k9loco]

Good memories, but have nothing secret there.

[@leonardosanderle525]

31:24 I think this is the secret part

[@Masterrogue123]

yeah ive seen this ending almost a dozen times with and with out hammer and Necron doing like 7 Grand Cross attacks on me in one fight. so this is not really a secret... atleast for me its not

[@Kaeus2]

This is my favorite Final Fantasy Game. FFIX is so nostalgic and epic that I will never forget it. The characters, places, songs it's all wonderful. I'll always love FF9.

[@biojal]

It is the Silver Pendant. One of four fragments to the jewel that summons the great eidolon Alexander. It is also the heirloom of the Alexandrian Royal family. Basically, it is the single greatest memento from both her former life in the Summoner tribe and her adopted life in Alexandria. So yeah, leaving behind says a lot.

[@bainbonic]

"I don't deserve to live after everything I've done. I'm useless to this world." "Nobody's useless." This... this right here is a microcosm of why I love this game.

[@Mr.Kayukie]

HD remaster would be good but not a remake this game is perfect.

[@manman504]

Boring...u beat Necron to fast. I wanted to see an epic battle!

[@garuda155]

The secret ending includes 2 hidden (minor) parts, one where Beatrix lays down her sword in the princess bedroom, and the other additional scene is Baku and the rest of the rogues preparing to perform the play. To get these scenes, the player has to obtain certen items before finishing the game. Everything else is just the same, the effor to get them is far bigger then its worth, so yeah ..

[@0Silviana0]

Oh the good old days of Squaresoft... seems since it became SquareEnix things began to go down hill.

[@oscarcsar]

You just start reading and then you realize all those words are Vivi's last thoughts as he passes away, then you start crying. 😭😭😭 ...my memories will be part of the sky...

[@justhomas83]

Okay kids only gonna say this once god damn it. Hear we go Final Fantasy 2-10 a.k.a X where all great epic tales in there own rights. After Ten it was good bye fantasy hello coffins from hell. It was all down hill from that point onward.

[@tali6844]

Seeing Dagger and Zidane happy together, Vivi's "kids", Steiner raisin the sword, the music, realizing what the monologue in between cut-scenes was basically Vivi's last words. Then the credits music...too many feels

[@mavita1771]

I fucking cry with this game :c

[@HugoJardel]

Me too! And was today! T_T

[@jerrymelander7875]

wait...this is the secret ending? I've gotten this ending every single time i've played this game. And i do love this game, one of the greatest creations ever in my humble opinion.

[@johnathanvaldez2330]

lol i remember this boss being so easy cause the auto-regen and stuff like i couldn't die .

[@teriqstegall5410]

i always wished that they would've done voiceovers, but i skipped to the final sceene when garnett runs to meet zidane, and now i truly appreciate the audible silence because this entire story speaks directly to the Heart!

[@TheGreyParse]

Maybe it's because my TV was so shitty back then but I never noticed she was crying at the end

[@Rikent]

The art style of 9 is so appealing and the characters just freaking awesome.

[@GamingTheWonder]

I just beat this game today, like Raven stated- didn't get to beat it as a kid. Large regret since I beat the others. Wonderful game, and if I may add- none should get a remake. Maybe a cosmetic pick-me-up, but they're Final Fantasy for a reason. Now if only Square would get their asses in gear and go back into the action. I would love to see some real RPG original IPs.

[@iCantPickaNamej]

YES!! i completely agree no ff should be remade they where perfect the way they where! square has to get their shit straight and make awsome games like prior to 2002

[@Jops00]

GamingTheWonder Im the same! Literally just beat it today, had my first save on it 15 years ago but never got to disc 4. Was such a great ending and really sad. Putting it as number 2 behind FFX...

[@jorjor7686]

Jops00 that must mean you've never played #6.... lol

[@Jops00]

Yeah I got 6 on my PS3 when they released it on PSN, its a good game, but I find it harder to get into to be honest, I think it's hard to get into such an old game when you've missed it the first time around

[@jorjor7686]

That's fair, that was my first final fantasy game so maybe I'm biased lol

[@JacklostYedmore]

Poor Vivi :( He was just a little boy

[@Firestorm214]

I was crying so darn badly when the game ended. I enjoy this game so much.

[@richhomie8330]

Does anyone else think Necron is actually Garland and not Soulcage? I suspect this because it seems like Necron talks to zidane in a way that reminds me more of garland than soulcage. Also because garland's goal was always to end the cycle of life and death

[@AkibaMCRGrenias]

Best game EVER!

[@DanielSilva-iq8fm]

Definitely my favourite FFIX. Also the first one i completed (still have the PS1 game with it's four disk and they still work!). Is just sad that Vivi stopped working tho. But at least Dagger (which i always named Garnet too :p) and Zidane stayed together so... :')

[@ChannelVargar]

This is not a "secret" ending its just the ending.

[@FeltLuckyMe]

before Marcus' scene about Cornelia's whereabouts, there a scene for Baku and Blank, where Baku killed Blank because of suspicion. That's the extra scene :))

[@vinnie5818]

Best FF ever

[@mr.horse1801]

Couldnt help but notice all the references to the older ff games brought into 9. Not only garland as one of the main antagonists, but they used lich, kraken, kary, and tiamat as the 4 elemental fiends as well. (All from ff1) That really brought me back to my nes days. (Yea thats right!! 1 is my favorite!! You playstation babies just wouldn’t understand lol)

[@thisishrsesht31]

20 years later, and that ending still makes me bawl my eyes out!

[@augustoud]

This game and metal gear were the first games i played on the psx, since then I am a big fan of both game series.

[@HithierTexidor]

If this is the secret ending then I got it by accident. A

[@xale8702]

Love the ending of this story. It always bothered me though that when Zidane is running back to the Iifa tree it's low res in game graphics. Would really like to see this remade in better graphics. Doesn't even need to be HD lifelike, since I don't think that fits the archetype.
