Still, to me, the coolest freaking Leviathan summon ever!! It's just so Epic! I also love riding in with Bahamut's over the shoulder camera view. So badass.
No, not awesome. I can tell it was interpolated with AI and the effect it produces is literally nauseating. I don't understand how y'all can watch it and not see the colors bending about in stutters.
@@natsudragonil83was it maybe explained it in the game's manual? I remember there was an explanation and analysis there for the abilities, traveling the open world, ATE and card game.
@@serpentdeath Damn, I wrote a long post but probably didn't get throu. Anyway it wasn't mentioned almost anywhere. Only on the UK strategy guide where there's the add-ons section where they tell you to use a code on the now dead playonline website, and this code would have revealed a secret about some of the jewels related to Eiko and Garnet. On the italian piggyback guide there is just the 4 discs walkthrough, so I think that if the other localized guides are the same, this thing was pretty much a real secret at the time. On the USA bradygames guide they just tell you to look for more information with a different code, so I don't know what was that.
To this day it still baffles me that Ark wasn't given the ability to break the 9999 damage limiter like that one summon from FFVIII... Eden I believe it is? Considering how long the animation was, I feel letting it break that ceiling was the bare minimum xD
In the FFIX alternate fantasy mod Ark will strike twice if it does the full animation and it will almost always be 9999 damage on both hits if they don't resist, nullify, or absorb shadow
FF9 remake has been a hot topic for rumor since NVIDA game list leak... FF9 remake and Chrono Cross remaster are among the list and so far Chrono Cross remaster turns out to be true, and its getting released soon...
I always found it odd that the ps1 version had times where the frame rates were increased, parts of Madeen, Ark and Odin’s summons (as well as Meteor and Holy/Flare) seemed to run at almost 60fps. Yet the remasters slowed all of that down? It’s just laziness on Sqaure’s behalf. Especially given what fans/mods are able to show off in awesome videos like this!
The parts that were faster didn’t have the battlefield being rendered, so the GPU wasn’t taxed as hard. At least for the PS at the time of release. I dunno how the game is being run on modern hardware, either a port or emulated PS
We NEED 8 & 9 given the 7 remake experience and they need to STAY as full turn based games. I will die happily if it ever happens. Also would love a FFX full remake but that wouldn't really make any sense until PS6 or PS7 lol.
Sometimes I wished for FF9 for the plot instead of kidnapping Eiko to extract an Eidolon because what happen to Alexander kuja would just have the characters collect the Pumiece pieces to summon the ark which is a powerful Eidolon.
The first time I triggered Eikos Phoenix flame Rebirth summon was on my very first play through in the fight against Necron. I was stunned and freaking out at how gorgeous it was. It literally saved my ass and let me deal the final damage to win the fight. For the longest time I thought it was part of the story lol!
Man I don’t think there’s ever going to be anything that recreates the astonishment we felt as kids the first time we saw summons (from ff7 to ff10). The aesthetics could not be topped.
seriously 4K 60 fps makes it look like a game you would find on Switch (heck even better a lot of times, more effort went into these than modern pokemon games). PS1 FF graphics were really ahead of their time man, still holds up immensely
How is the Switch version, please? Playing FF IX since Ps1 and I thought I would never play other than PS1 version. But now I´m curious, is Switch version any good?
FF9 is my favorite number entry on ps1. Only tied with tactics as my favorite final fantasies for the ps1. My second number series. Just behind my favorite in this series, which is FF6 ❤. I love how they brought back medieval times in this game. Callback of some of the originals. The music is very superb. The story is very meaningful and outstanding. The summons and magic are not overtop like FF7 and FF8. Each character is either very likable as a hero or very hate able as a villain. Sadly, the only thing I hate about this game (more questionable approach) is the final boss. However, I still love this game what it is as it became for the fandom. A great callback of some of the originals.
Its the moogle an eidoleon pretending to be guardian mog. If i remember right all her summons can do two different attacks depending on which gem she has. The moogle does a holy attack and cant remember the other.
So summons from Terra are Fenrir, Phoenix, Madeen and Ark; while Gaia have Shiva, Ifrit, Ramuh, Leviathan, Odin, Bahamut, Alexander, Carbuncle, and Atomos?
Summons were pretty lackluster in this game as far as gameplay was concerned imo. Carbuncle and Phoenix were the only useful ones. The offensive summons just did too little damage compared to physical attacks of Steiner, Zidane and Amarant. Vivi also dealt better magic damage than most summons.
They hit really hard when stacking their jewels and using the right skills and equipment to improve magic and elemental attack. Also, summons have always been just for show. FFX i.e. they are basically the plot, but any other attack can overshadow summons, are they lackluster? That happens on every FF
@@gabosilva4608 They are somewhat half of the plot in FFIX too, Eidolons are the centerpiece of some of the most memorable cutscenes. They just aren't important in the late game anymore.
Was about 14 when I played this game for the first time. Every time I used to summon an Eidolon, I'd hold my dualshock controller directly against my genitals. Vibration was new and amazing back then.
@@ggtontoyono isnt that sad? all these people who play ff9 for the first time wont experience how the sounds originally were. I just checked a ps1 video and it sounds way more impactful and better quality, shame!
@@ImmortalDraylo Yes it's very sad an very unnecesary for their part, why decrease sound quality? Is not like smartphones have worse DAC's than a PlayStation 1. Rumors say that some of the original files of the game were lost.
Well, all the summons/eidolons for Garnet & Eiko is based on Items, the accessories, there some that can be acquire through the main story, while the others u must put some efforts for the sidequest or the hidden exclamation For the Carbuncle to change skills effect, Eiko must equip accessory like Moonstone, Emerald, etc... So does for Fenrir to change from Earth to Wind, eiko accessory equipment is the key
Here we can see how advance were this graphics at the time, polygons and textures were almost ps2 quality. Particle effects were beautifully made, and a lot of things looked even better than FFX, like ice textures on Shiva and Blizzaga or sparkles on most attacks
devs explained that very well. something to do with ifrit being one of the first summons you'll get and gets ignored fast. They wanted ifrit to be special in 16.
They messed up very bad the sound effects on the remaster. Also, the characters not closing their eyes when casting spells or summoning pissed me off. Still, my faovirte FF game and probably my favorite JRPG.
War auch voll irritiert, wusste das auch nicht. Glaub wenn man Karbunkel im Kampf mehrmals beschwört dann tut er diese Attacken in dieser Reihenfolge ^^
I've always hated the last summoning you get in most of the FF, it takes so much time to watch and most of the times it's pointless. I'm not really familiar with FF9 but those damages of that last summon seems pretty low, only one time 9999? Correct me if i'm wrong, but I guess when you are maximizing your stats you must probably hit at 9999 too with simple attacks like in most Final Fantasy, it would make that last summon pointless and a loss of time no ?
It looks awful so much movement noise y some parts its like it wasnt recorded from the game but like recorded on video and then it was put on a a program to ad more frames
@@YOYODODO Oh, the rule's actually easy. X is 10, and IX is 1 before 10, which is 9. XI is 1 after 10, which is 11. Same rule applies to V, which is 5: IV is 1 before 5, which is 4, and VI is 1 after 5, which is 6. That's why VII is 7 and XIV is 14.
It's true that FF7 walked so FF9 could run. But FF 9 is the PSX best final fantasy game. Better than FF7 in almost every single way. (except for the final boss, we don't talk about the final boss. )
after the ffvii remake disaster, id only wish a remaster for this… I mean, I hated the idea of making drastic chenges in the sequence of event especially the story. I cant bring myself to play ffvii remake anymore, it has been 2 years since I bought the game and yet I feel somewhat nauseated.

"Millenial Decay" sure takes on a new meaning if you're old enough to have played this game when it first came out.
Still, to me, the coolest freaking Leviathan summon ever!! It's just so Epic!
I also love riding in with Bahamut's over the shoulder camera view. So badass.
The way it dragged the waves along with it is top tier
FF IX is The Ultimate Masterpiece. Such a legendary game
FFX was also very good
Truth was told. Right here.
1000 agree
It deserved an HD remake more than 7 did.
Until Necorn ruined it for me.
OMG! 23 years and I just found out about the Summon variants (while equiping different accesories) WOW. ty!
what a difference a higher resolution and 60fps makes, it's gorgeous
seeing this game at 60fps is just simply awesome...
Simply necessary. 15fps is horrendous.
No, not awesome. I can tell it was interpolated with AI and the effect it produces is literally nauseating.
I don't understand how y'all can watch it and not see the colors bending about in stutters.
I finished this game several times since it first released, and just today i knew that Carbuncle can do more than just Ruby Light.. wth
They don't explain that in the game at all. Not even for Fenrir.
@@natsudragonil83was it maybe explained it in the game's manual? I remember there was an explanation and analysis there for the abilities, traveling the open world, ATE and card game.
same here!
Yea I never knew about those extra carbuncle abilities either, talk about easter eggs some 23 years later 😂

Indeed. Eden's atk could make it up to 60k damage. Ark's atk should've broken that 9999 damage limit as well.
Ark's long animation is useful when you are in low HP and have Auto Regen.
In the FFIX alternate fantasy mod Ark will strike twice if it does the full animation and it will almost always be 9999 damage on both hits if they don't resist, nullify, or absorb shadow
FF9 Should be remake
they wont becaue 9 is my favorite FF game of the series
FF9 remake has been a hot topic for rumor since NVIDA game list leak... FF9 remake and Chrono Cross remaster are among the list and so far Chrono Cross remaster turns out to be true, and its getting released soon...
And give Ark break damage limit for crying out loud...no way that 9999 damage for 2 min long summon lol
Nah! Remake FF3 instead, but with a better battle system.
@@luciusirving5926 FF3 already got a 3D remake
The visual effects are top notch during its time. Well, even now, FF9 has one of the best VFX in Final Fantasy
It's one of the most optimized ps1 games. Square really squeezed out every bit from the ps1
I love it!
Amazing game and an amazing video displaying all of the summons.
Good job!
I don't remember the Moguri mod fixing the models??? This looks sooooo good.
why is this so smooth?! the technology is here!!
Ramuh will always be my boy. My 1st ever summon. Both here and in XV
FF9 Bahamut summon and Mega Flare is by far the best in the whole series. You can feel the power, the scale, the impact of the beam.
I’m blown away by these graphics omg
i love auto phoenix so much
i realized that remaster ff8's summon scenes are more sharper than ff9
What a masterpiece...
Thank you so much
I hope you do ffx too
That Ark animation is simply legendary.
I always found it odd that the ps1 version had times where the frame rates were increased, parts of Madeen, Ark and Odin’s summons (as well as Meteor and Holy/Flare) seemed to run at almost 60fps.

Fun fact. There's a cheat code for PS1 real hardware where you can unlock the frame rate😅 it's called hyper mode.
I thought only my ps1 rendered those animations on highter framerates 😂 good to know thats the way the game works
4k 60fps makes this game look like it was made today. It looks absolutely gorgeous.
years on and im still learning new thing i didnt know there was different versions of carbuncle
We NEED 8 & 9 given the 7 remake experience and they need to STAY as full turn based games. I will die happily if it ever happens. Also would love a FFX full remake but that wouldn't really make any sense until PS6 or PS7 lol.
Sometimes I wished for FF9 for the plot instead of kidnapping Eiko to extract an Eidolon because what happen to Alexander kuja would just have the characters collect the Pumiece pieces to summon the ark which is a powerful Eidolon.
I really wanted to see the summons, thank you!
Was the remaster always this smooth looking????
It's a post production effect, you can make any video "run" at 60fps even in real-time with splash from mirillis
Wow. This looks amazing. More clips, please 😍
Holly heck does that look beautiful in 4k hot dang one of the best FF games ever at that.
The first time I triggered Eikos Phoenix flame Rebirth summon was on my very first play through in the fight against Necron. I was stunned and freaking out at how gorgeous it was.

Man I don’t think there’s ever going to be anything that recreates the astonishment we felt as kids the first time we saw summons (from ff7 to ff10). The aesthetics could not be topped.
summon cinematics in 9 is the best, much better than 15 or 16....
Mog/Madeen🥺 major feels
Atomos the most deadly summon of all.
"Odin" enter the chat.
seriously 4K 60 fps makes it look like a game you would find on Switch (heck even better a lot of times, more effort went into these than modern pokemon games). PS1 FF graphics were really ahead of their time man, still holds up immensely

@@derekstarobaI'm guessing the other one is Phoenix, and of course she is Fire 🔥
@@derekstaroba Madeen does not have a second attack. Carbuncle change its moves based on gems.
Madeen has light affinity so you could say that, yes.
9:22 wait.... Star Ocean 3's Laser Beam is Ark's attack!!!!
I didn't know carbuncle had other buffs other then reflect in FF9
Ja, ich auch nichz
So summons from Terra are Fenrir, Phoenix, Madeen and Ark; while Gaia have Shiva, Ifrit, Ramuh, Leviathan, Odin, Bahamut, Alexander, Carbuncle, and Atomos?

i remember that nova dragon card is one of the best cards in the game
Why do I remember the sounds being different? Is something in the quality lost when you upscale it so much or?
Because the game is the ''remastered'' version of Steam, based on the mobile version, which decreased the sound quality of the effects quite a lot
@@ggtontoyono isnt that sad? all these people who play ff9 for the first time wont experience how the sounds originally were. I just checked a ps1 video and it sounds way more impactful and better quality, shame!

what the hell!! 60fps is smooth!
I hope if they ever remake it they make alexander a summon.
Eikos summons are badass
How did you get the other eidolons ability can you teach me

Pls thie is with the moguri mod and everything.. better than ffx pls fanboy u are.
Wasn't their system broken on this? Something like "it's random" on when they are summoned? Pissed me off so much.
Holy shit i never heard of ark but he goes so hard
Moguri mod?
This isn't 60fps. This is just speed up by 1.2 seconds to make it look 60fps. there's still frame skips going on and too fast.
Ark only hitting for one hit is criminal. Should be a multi stage equivalent to omnislash or lionheart
Eternal Darkness its Eden+Alexander from FF8???
Can somebody help me i don't get the last GF or Espers or Eidolons is the last one a brand new or what?
Is Ideon or Gunbuster the strongest mech?
Garnet: Hold my beer.

What emarlad diamond light???? Only now i know!
How to achieve the 60 fps?
Insane this was a ps1 game
The peak of the PS1 and more on that these games came out way more quicker than than the games that come out now
Shiva has always been my main bae ❤
Lol all the cut scene and a fucking zeta gundam with a bigass partical canon just to deal 9999 damage.
Why...dont I remember these lol or did I not unlock them
60 fps is amazing
wow the moguri mod really breaks a lot of those animations huh
Square should do a patch for FF7 - FF10 to unlock 60 fps
Why 16 focused on mid tier Ifrit I'll never know.
Because it an iconic summons since FFIII
devs explained that very well. something to do with ifrit being one of the first summons you'll get and gets ignored fast. They wanted ifrit to be special in 16.
Leviathan=ride that surf!
They messed up very bad the sound effects on the remaster. Also, the characters not closing their eyes when casting spells or summoning pissed me off. Still, my faovirte FF game and probably my favorite JRPG.
Ark is my favorite summon
they are not showing dying animation
Where is Alexander?
it's not a usable summon
yo wtf carbuncle had different ones? i only got ruby light
War auch voll irritiert, wusste das auch nicht. Glaub wenn man Karbunkel im Kampf mehrmals beschwört dann tut er diese Attacken in dieser Reihenfolge ^^
U need to equip eiko accessory, emerald, moonstone, diamond... Etc it will change the effect on carbuncle
we need a remake of FF8 AND 9. not a lame remaster.
Still remember when I played it on psx, those summons are so useless since they can be easily replaced by magic with less cost usage.
Is the mod even available lol
I've always hated the last summoning you get in most of the FF, it takes so much time to watch and most of the times it's pointless.

Ff8 had the best summons out of the ps1 games. But zodiark was amazing in ff9. Ff9 did pheonix the best. Ff7 had the best odin
They did Ifrit dirty in FF9, he looks awful. Almost all the others look awesome.
First four: Jill, Clive, Cid and Torgal
What i dislike about this game is the limited damage
Sound effects are weird
It looks awful so much movement noise y some parts its like it wasnt recorded from the game but like recorded on video and then it was put on a a program to ad more frames
It's "IX", not "XI".
Thanks, I always confuse nine and eleven in roman numerals XD.
@@YOYODODO
Oh, the rule's actually easy. X is 10, and IX is 1 before 10, which is 9. XI is 1 after 10, which is 11. Same rule applies to V, which is 5: IV is 1 before 5, which is 4, and VI is 1 after 5, which is 6. That's why VII is 7 and XIV is 14.

FF9 has the best summon out of all the ones that exist and its the only mainline game that it appears in:
