Everything thats great about final fantasy

[Niall_farley]

One of my faves!!! It's weird how I prefer my final fantasys.... At the mo I have a huge craving for ix but that's because the last one I finished was vii so after finishing ix I will crave vii

It's always the same!!!! Hehe

But ix is a fantastic/near perfect game! I was thinking the other day how come there hasn't been a tetra master multi player game yet sort of like magic the gathering but a daft online game of tetra!!!! Awesome

There was.

FFIX is definitely a great game. It's hard for me to rank FF games because they're all great in their own way, but it pretty much ties with a bunch of my favorite FFs.

Admittedly, I liked it more on my second playthrough. I'm not exactly sure why that is.

I think it's interesting how the overall reception of IX has changed over the years. I remember when it first came out, and even up through X's release, it was generally considered a weak title. People thought (especially after VIII) that it was too kiddy and that due to its graphic style, it was attempting to be the new VII. As time went on and FF games got (arguably) much worse, people started catching on that IX was like a medley of everything we loved about the classic FF titles and possibly the last great traditional FF game. It took awhile, but it's finally getting its due love.

Even thinking back of 'best of' lists that I've seen in the past, IX was never on best PS1 or best RPG lists, and now I feel like I don't see a list without it.

EDIT: I actually just read that this game at some point references every other FF game before it. That's pretty cool.
