The PS1's best Final Fantasy. I've always adored Final Fantasy IX. Much more so than VII, and definitely VIII. I'm not sure how many times I've completed this game, but it's been a lot, and I still love it to bits! That's not to say FFIX is without its faults though. The game has aged quite a bit. Its UI can be cumbersome to navigate. The second half of its third act sees a huge difficulty spike. And some of the story beats are a bit awkward or nonsensical. But the game has a ton of heart and such endearing characters that it easily makes up for all the little nitpicks I have with it. This was my first time playing Final Fantasy IX with the Moguri mod and I loved it! It makes the game look and play much better and I can't recommend it enough. Rating: 9/10
How do 2 polygons in a black mage hat have more personality than the main character of a modern AAA game? I am glad I waited so long to play this game. Not only does it hold up - it puts modern game narratives to shame. Simultaneously whimsical and deep, this game has the confidence to not take itself too seriously, while delivering profound meaning (without trying to shove it down your throat). The musical score is unmatched, the characters and writing are unforgettable, and the themes are absolutely wholesome. Pure. I strongly recommend you play this game if you want an adventure that you sink into seamlessly - a journey that feels nostalgic before it even begins. All the game asks for is a little bit of your heart, and in return, you'll be left with fantasy friends that you remember for a lifetime. 10/10.
Easily my favorite game in the series out of the ones I’ve got the chance to play. Character driven to its core, FFIX is a game that stuck with me through its masterful use of its cast to communicate its message and themes, culminating in one of the most beautiful celebrations of life I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing in a work of art. Most of the gameplay quirks can be addressed through the boosters included in the port, though I'd still recommend playing the game with at least the Memoria launcher to truly customize the experience to your liking. FFIX is a charming and poignant experience that I think everyone should experience at least once, or at the very least give it a try, especially considering how accessible and inexpensive it is to play this game these days.
After finishing FFIX I completely understand why so many people consider this one of the best FF games. It’s also a game that frustrated me repeatedly. And somehow both of those things are true at the same time. At first glance, FFIX feels almost deceptively light compared to FFVII and FFVIII. Where those games leaned into dystopian sci-fi, moody protagonists, and a more serious tone, IX opens like a storybook. Cartoonish characters, medieval fantasy cities, theater performances and airships. It almost feels childish. That’s the trick. FFIX uses that aesthetic as a Trojan horse. It invites you in with warmth and charm, then slowly starts asking much heavier questions about identity, mortality, purpose, grief, and what people choose to do with the limited time they have. And it absolutely lands those themes. The emotional core of this game is its cast, and Vivi might genuinely be one of the best characters in the entire franchise. Watching this tiny, awkward black mage try to understand what he is and why he exists is devastating in the best possible way. His arc gives the entire game its soul. Zidane was also a huge breath of fresh air after Cloud and Squall. Instead of another emotionally unavailable protagonist, you get someone charismatic, empathetic, impulsive, and genuinely fun to be around. Which makes his own late-game existential breakdown hit much harder than I expected. Steiner’s transformation is fantastic, and his dynamic with Vivi is consistently great. Garnet avoids becoming the stereotypical helpless princess, with some surprisingly grounded emotional storytelling, especially around trauma. Kuja also deserves credit. At first, he feels dangerously close to being another Sephiroth clone: flamboyant, theatrical, dramatic, absurdly pretty. But he becomes much more compelling once the game reveals what really drives him. The Active Time Event system it’s one of the smartest storytelling systems in the game because it makes the cast feel like actual people instead of silent backpack decorations by showing what they are doing outside of the main narrative. Now, mechanically is where the game starts losing points. The combat systems themselves are good. FFIX fully commits to classic RPG roles again, which I loved after the more open-ended systems of VII and VIII. Characters feel distinct. Party composition matters. Equipment matters. Learning abilities through gear is one of the best progression systems in the series because suddenly every weapon, armor piece, and accessory has meaning beyond raw stats. Synthesis is also fantastic, rewarding hoarding in a way that feels incredibly satisfying. But dear god, the pacing. Battles are painfully slow. Random encounters take forever to start thanks to dramatic camera sweeps and transitions. Combat itself often pauses awkwardly between actions like the game is taking a coffee break to think about what happens next. By late game, backtracking becomes less about exploration and more about testing your patience. Then there’s stealing. Since Zidane is a thief and bosses often carry excellent gear, many fights become a miserable ritual where you intentionally keep dangerous bosses alive while repeatedly attempting to steal items before you actually engage with the battle. This adds strategy in theory, but in practice often just creates frustration. And then there’s Trance. This may genuinely be the worst limit break system I’ve seen in a FF game so far. Because it activates automatically when the meter fills, the game constantly wastes your powered-up transformation on random trash fights you didn’t care about. No control, no strategy, just vibes and disappointment. The soundtrack is phenomenal and emotional. It’s warm when it needs to be, melancholic when it hurts, triumphant when it matters. TL;DR: A beautiful, emotionally rich Final Fantasy with one of the best casts in the franchise, incredible themes and fantastic progression systems, but held back by painfully slow combat pacing, frustrating steal mechanics, and a terrible Trance system. 8/10. For me, it lands above VIII and lives right alongside VII, as my favorite Final Fantasy so far depending on my mood.
