[@akiinmoonlight79]

imo FF9 is the best jrpg of all time ❤

[@Primalliquid92]

one of the best for sure

[@Dwarfweed_OG]

It’s my number 2 behind Legend of Dragoon

[@alanlee67]

Akiin I actually give that title to the entire psx trilogy...even 8 which is not as good but is far superior to anything that has come out since 9

[@TsuikeNovaus]

@@alanlee67 Iunno, Type-0's ending did make me cry.

[@ТарасА-к5р]

Of course it is, man. Nine is so deeply in lots of questions. So tragic and sooooo soulfully game. Tears of ending - Tears of pleased, that blows your mind, turns your feels on happiness wheel...again and again as tidal waves without any hints of stopping... no other ffs couldn't provide that.

[@elijahstuffs]

FF9 was for me my favourite game of all time. I loved the story, the characters, the ambiance of medieval times. I had a good impact on my young years(I was 13 or so and now I'm 31). Vivi is the best character ever, I could imagine myself being himself for many traits I shared (I was shy and insecure). really an amazing game, I'd cry over some soundtracks, like melody of life, you are not alone,

[@WillBoy182]

I got FF9 after reading a review in official playstation magazine because it sounded amazing. I'd only played platformers and games like Crash and Spyro until then. It blew my mind and I've loved the series ever since, and 9 will always be my favourite.

[@slowdown8at606]

What youre saying is that im actually one of the few people on this planet that played this game with a buddy with 2player settings? Nice

[@ugandahater]

Nope. Did it when it came out with my brother and friend

[@zetandpeligaming]

I want a sequel for this game so badly

[@OwenHurrell]

Probably the only person on the internet I trust to not recycle "things you didn't know".

[@Primalliquid92]

thanks buddy, i hope a few of these actually caught you out instead of the usual bs like "did you know theres a star wars quote before necron?"

[@OwenHurrell]

@@Primalliquid92 I'd definitely forgotten about that Coca-cola advert, that was a good trip down memory lane. I did know about the Star Wars quote, though apparently that's not the literal translation, just some joker at Square. Keep up the good work, always entertaining.

[@jimi_jams]

I knew about the Coca Cola advert through a gaming magazine back in the day, and that it was Uematsu's last full score. The rest I did not.

[@canisblack]

Fun fact: Your accent made "Melodies" sound like "Maladies."

[@GoStayHereThere]

Fitting for the moment, covid and shit...

[@connorlarkinbass]

I knew all of these things except for the first one! you got me on that first chocobo appearance! great content as always! cheers!

[@memoryfish12]

Love your vids and the effort and time you put in is very much appreciated. Also, Dec 5th is my birthday too, so happy birthday to us! All the best

[@Primalliquid92]

Happy birthday!

[@TheStrahl]

Here's one thing I do know. FF9 is the perfect game.

[@MisterXZen]

It's my absolute favorite game, but the trance system takes it from being perfect to near-perfect.

[@stevensbaxter]

great vid Primal! To anyone reading this, I have the BenQ light and it's actually great. I just leave it on all the time and it actually helps for video calls too and serves as a little ring light. They also make a desk lamp that's really solid. You can get both of these on ebay for usually 20-30% off.

[@FuyuKyoshi]

I actually knew about the ability to play with 2 controllers. It was a small nice feature to let your little brother play with you as his favorite character or to have fun and play with 2 controllers yourself. Sadly, you kind of forget about it unless it's brought up randomly.

[@Primalliquid92]

yea its one of those easily forgettable things

[@Tophius]

I did know most of those except for the Coke ad. That one was definitely new to me. Good catch - rare to find videos that do introduce new things to me.

[@JobeStroud]

Ever since Secret of Mana, I always checked if others can control a character.

[@izellets7361]

I actually played FFIX with my little sister once, when she was around 9 or 10, using the Two Player Mode. I think it's one of her favorite gaming memories.

[@Tenseiken_]

I definitely did not know 4 and 5. The fact that you can play co-op in one of the older classic JRPG style Final Fantasy games is actually kind of mindblowing. I have about a bajilion hours in FF9, but never did I ever see anything about the co-op part. Three FF titles being worked on at the same time with the goal to make them all "different" FOR THAT POINT IN TIME BACK THEN is by itself a speechless feat, but how GOOD they turned out to be just showed how different the big boy game companies were and game quality in general. Some of them are sadly just a fallen giant and an empty shell of it's former self.

[@Brahmsonite]

Here's one for you: which FF was the first to have the same kind of 2 player co-op as IX?

[@Griff03]

I knew one of these, that ff9 was the last game Uematsu did. Got to see the big man himself at distant worlds in London a few years back.

[@mrhalfpint]

With your voice you can sell snow to a Eskimo.

[@TeddyIV_777]

In your dearest memories do you remember loving me? -Final Fantasy IX Every time i'm in the open world and the tune of melodies of life is playing , Can't help myself to sing the lyrics ^_^

[@edwinhai]

I don't know why I clicked this title, these videos are always full of common stuff that everyone knows. But then I heard primal's voice and I knew I was going to hear some new interesting stuff.

[@YuubiTimberwolf]

Knew all of the facts, i am a huge FF9 nerd, no wonder its my fave game of the series. 1. The Chocobo statue was pointed out by my dad when i first played, he told me to stop the dialog and look for my favorite bird, took me a while to find it! 2. Noticed it was Uematsu's final sole work after playing FFX where he was not mentioned alone under OST composers anymore. 3. Saw the add in magazines and even in TV here in germany! It was also featured on some Game magazine CDs with trailers and stuff! 4. The 2 Player Battle option, while not mentioned in the Handbook, is also features in FF6 and my bro and i tested it from there on with every FF game, so that was an easy find. We did fought over who gets control over Zidane so we switched after every boss battle. 5. As mentioned in 3, game magazines had these CDs full of trailers and reviews to games and the annoucement of all three games was on it as well!

[@madeyemike8184]

Really liked that. Less number of facts than other videos but much higher quality 👍 Keep up the good work 😃

[@Primalliquid92]

Glad you liked it!

[@withincrisispodcast]

Final Fantasy IX was also being worked on before final fantasy VIII, not sure in what capacity though. Can't remember where the source I found this about on is

[@andyjpower1]

Great video as always !!

[@22Pappagino]

I knew about ouetmastsu...but not about all the songs. Great vid

[@enyaliosares4301]

I’m pretty sure the last FF game uemateu composed was FF14 1.0. Of which he composed every soundtrack, some one which can still be heard in the game today.

[@jameskehoe5275]

Any idea of where to find official runs of the game? I just wanted to know if there was a run that was done with all missable items including excalibur 2 that didn't require the cut scene skip

[@KazeMemaryu]

I only knew about the co-op mode, which the father of a friend from my childhood used to ease me into the combat system. I remembered it by pure chance around the time it got re-released on the Switch, and I asked my friend who bought the game on it, if the co-op mode was still in. But we either couldn't find it or it was removed. Suffice to say, he didn't believe me...

[@adiksaff]

You blew my mind with that chocobo easter egg... I thought for sure it was the telescope sighting. But when you brought up the topic and flashed the screen, my mind instantly found it!! Amazing what priming can do! The two player bit got a big woah from me...

[@eniuin]

The two player co-op is a pretty cool feature. My roommate and I used to play it together and it made the game a lot of fun.

[@Primalliquid92]

i personally never actually used the 2 player mode :( all of my buds back then were fighting or racing games like tekken and gran turismo

[@TheMissCorky]

Yaaay proud you got a sponsor for this video! Congratulations! Currently following through your ffx-2 100% playthrough! Just took a break to watch your most recent upload 😊

[@nonotheteddybear1525]

I knew about the 2 player settings and the fact FFIX was Uematsu's favorite game that he's worked on for its music score.

[@rowanmorris2187]

Great vid ace. I didn't know about the chocobo.

[@stalwartbear4282]

A lot of the stuff in this video I did not know! Next time I play Final Fantasy IX I'll have to make sure I play it with a friend! Great game and great content keep it up :)

[@derrickwilson2295]

I knew everything except the hidden Chocobo. Never noticed him.

[@Butterfliesandzebras]

[@Primalliquid92]

glad you enjoy it :) and yea i wanted a darker background than i used to use so i jused this one haha

[@Growvilye500]

Played this for my first time ever earlier this year for a friend. Probably put it as the 5th best FF game imo. Nothing can ever beat 12 imo. All time favorite FF and video game for like 15 years.

[@fratley065]

I knew all except the Coca-Cola one. I used to play two player with my college roommate, you could pick snd choose which player controlled which characters. Was a ton of fun, till we were playing alone and forgot to change the settings.

[@Livingvapour]

I came in here thinking i would already know all 5. but I came out knowing 4 of 5. the Coke ad I never knew about. neat good vid.

[@XionSteel]

i knew about the two player fact since my friend back in the day had all the consoles and all the games. we played various ones that let us play together, this one we randomly came across and was amusing for a while.

[@zannyhyper]

this was fun! only thing I didn't know was the chocobo one xD

[@mb987987]

Great video! I didn't know about most of the stuff (was hyped during the triple announcement!). I would love to see more of these videos! I was glad to see you doing one that didn't have a bunch of stuff that everyone already knew too 😆.

[@Primalliquid92]

yea when you see videos like this there all the same facts really like "did you know theres a star wars reference in the game?" like dude really? thats in every single ff9 top 5 ever

[@meowmeow-jk3sm]

I have played many FF games but i have to say that ff9 music is my favourite which explains it now. Great Video as always.

I'm pretty sure that you can play most of the older FFs local co-op. FF4 and FF6 come to mind

least i got you on a few then haha

[@AdanixZanmara]

I went to Japan on an exchange trip back in High School, and while i was there the host family took me to a sort of op shop/goodwill place and I actually found a bunch of the Coca Cola figurines for 100 yen each, snagged a bunch of them and still have them today haha.

[@IamSyrach]

Wow, very lucky. I bet they would sell for a lot to the right person.

[@MrDirahmer]

All of them except the chocobo location at the start. Good list most people don't post those.

[@bas7467]

You bet wrong, i knew every fact there was in this vid. I also had the walkthrough with some secrets not accesible unless you signed up for Playonline. That guide was the first time i could draw someone as detailled as Zidane.

[@midnightjay]

Awesome video! Had a lot of fun with the facts :D The only one I knew of the coca cola one and remember seeing the ad online somewhere (from an FF fansite I think) but the others were news to me hah hah I think the one that surprised me was FFIX being announced along side FFX and FFXI. I didn't know of FFX until I saw the commercial at the time of its release so I was completely out of that loop. Nobuo Uematsu having so much fun on FFIX is so wonderful ; ; Really fun facts, thanks for sharing!

[@bluemujika]

In fact I DID know that FF9 10 and 11 were announced at the same time yep! I used to collect PSM magazines at the time and that was mentioned. :) I dont think it was announced that FF11 was going to be online though at least not at first. I'd have to go through my old PSM magazines that I still have in my attic somewhere. God it feels like yesterday!

Uematsu's music can't be replaced. FF hasn't been the same since. The other composers aren't bad, some of the tracks are awesome, but still.

[@pissedveteran804]

Final fantasy 9 was my favorite growing up when it first came out it was crashing the PlayStation one that's why a lot of people were playing on the PS2 cuz it would run it better it was pushing the limits of the PlayStation 1 my PlayStation one crashed many of times why I was playing final fantasy 9

I knew the two player mode. And that it was Uematsu's last time working on an FF. And I knew about the Coca Cola ad. And that IX X and XI were announced the same day...So, all in all, the video title doesn't fit me. But I've been eating a lot, and a Chocobo isn't enough.

[@Sukaki_Izamu]

I knew about the last two the co-op was also in older game like FF5 and FF6 I know this because me and my brother try and co-op both when we got them it was fun at first but being player 2 you don't really get to do much be control a few party member in battle so you spend most the time waiting for player 1 move threw the world/plot and we both had bad habits of just skipping text and just running around until the plot told us we ended up in the right spot with npc text for us to just skip it and do it over and over had to say we got pretty far with just blind exploring but when it got to the air ships yeah then we had to read the plot.

[@BlackArtistik]

I have vague memory of that Coca Cola advert. And I remember the 2 Player mode. FF6 had it also.

So on my 1st play through I got to memoria (if that's what it's called, the last map) and through the whole game I didnt get abilities, idk why, and got my bad smashed by everything. I had to desperately kill any mob there cause any time I killed one I leveled up once or twice. Idk how I even got that far.

[@zirilan3398]

most likely because 1) it is not a hard game at all and 2) there is a glitch on the psone-version where, if you spend all your skillpoints you won`t get additional ones when you level up

@@Primalliquid92 theres a 7 and 8 double pack but they just released 9 on its own. Its around 50 bucks which is hard to swallow for such an old game and its digital counterpart sells for 20 but since its a limited release I assume its due to the cost of those switch cards plus some profit.

[@Scorp721]

Man FFVII used to be my fav FF of all time (in no small part because it was my introduction to the series) but FFIX has been slowly overtaking it and I think has finally claimed the number 1 spot for me. IX was already my number 2 but after going back and playing through all the FF games from 1-10 it makes IX that much better because you get to see and hear all the callbacks to the earlier games form character names to remixed music. IX really was the peak of FF IMO.

[@MrQwertysystem]

I personally think that the only reason why FF7 is considered to be the best FF game is because it was the first for most, but I also love 9 a lot more =D

[@zirilan3398]

@@MrQwertysystem I agree, also many didn`t give FF9 a shot because of the "kiddy"-like graphics compare to the semi-realistic in FF7/8

Would you ever consider doing a review of the Alternate Fantasy and Unleashed mods for FF9?

Didn't know about the chocobo statue or about the 3 concurrent FF game announcement. The commercial one though... not sure. That still image you used looks vaguely familiar to me, very vaguely. So I must have seen it somewhere, but I can't conjure any concrete memories of it. So not sure how to classify that. Haha.
