Probably the best ff ever made
Not just probably, but objectively very much so. A true state of the art masterpiece.
Probably the best one to be made, ever!
Word!
You can just remove "probably"
Replace probably with definitely and we’re good
My favorite in the series
My first true RPG, I randomly got this from blockbuster, and its one of my favorites of all time
This was my first ever Final Fantasy, and it has remained my favorite ever since. In fact, it's my favorite game of all time!
If the remake comes true, I only hope for this: That it remains faithful to the original, but adds those boss fights that were cut. It always felt odd to me that we only fought the Earth Guardian, but not the other 3 (Well, we fought their later forms, the 4 chaos, but not their original forms)
I hope it remains faithful too, but it's unlikely.
One thing I really fear about : the voice acting. FF IX wouldn't work so well with voices, the reason why FF IX works so well to me is because the emotions come from the OST (= biggest masterpiece of this game), and not any voice acting. It allows for different kind of dialogues that wouldn't work in an actual spoken conversation imo. Oddly enough, I wouldn't say the same for FF VII (while I adore its OST aswell). It's less poetric, or differently at least. In FF VII remake/rebirth, the voice acting didn't break (too much) the original feeling, but I fear it will in IX. In FF IX, dialogues are kind of juvenile, yet meaningfull. I fear for the balance "Childish characters / meaningfull themes".
Possibly why they will release the anime first, to test the waters.

@@MG-qc5jwI kind of get what you’re saying but I think voice acting would still fit well. Especially if it keeps the more cartoony aestheitic. Kingdom Hearts has some very goofy and borderline cringey lines and moments but they still work and those games are still very much able to pull the heart strings and stir emotions.
Well, Zidane and Eiko do look like Dark Crystal characters now that you mention it.
Zidane was also based on the the Monkey King so his face looks ape like. He looks cooler in the Dissidia games
I was pissed when I got the strategy guide
lol miss those things
@@mike1989libraI used to read the guide books in school instead of school work 😅
@@mike1989libra They still exists
as someone that doesn't know anything about FF9... i can't wait to learn 10 things.
Maybe they tried this, but I wish Square would have kept the classic turned based medieval theme going on one path, and then had another path that was more experimental. Like "FF Legacy" and "FF Beyond" or something. That way us true fans can still get new games that stayed true to the things we loved and grew up with in the series.
FFIX is truly a masterpiece. I am so grateful that it exists and that all the pieces fell into place to make it exactly as it is ❤️
TY this video was very cool. This is my fav in the series by far. I love the story the characters and the art style. The music is so good.
the anime is still in production but SE said they’re aiming for an elemental level audience, so expect something closer to Bluey
Thank you for dedicating a whole video to this masterpiece. This is my favourite Final Fantasy. X would be my second favourite.
Even though I played VII first and love that game to death, FFIX remains my personal favorite. I remember literally being transported to an amazing world of magic, fantasy and great narrative when playing this game. I may play it again on PC with the Moguri Mod which looks absolutely beautiful. Cheers.
Favorite game of all time. Back in highschool I beat the game, I feel to knees and shed a tear
Final Fantasy IX is my favorite FF game & one of my favorite games ever. The ending made me tear up a bit, can't say that about most games I've played. But it's 25th anniversary is next year, I suspect the anime & remake will release. I really hope they get them both right.
It'll be woke if FF7 Rebirth is any indication.
My first FF game, and currently my third favorite. I think it was a great place to start for the series. It'll really be a shame if SE skips FF VIII though, since that one could benefit the most from a remake out of the PS1 games.
yeah, i think one of the reasons why 9remake was possible is because non of the main creators of og ff9 were involved in ff8, whos also the developers of ogff7 and the 7remake trilogy.
FFIX is my favorite game, because it shows a real fantasy game. Love the castles, airships, races and magic.
Final Fantasy IX really does like a finale to the main numbered entries, due to it being a love letter to the series, to the point where Hironobu Sakuguchi sees it as the Last True Final Fantasy game. Honestly, if the Final Fantasy franchise didn’t stay alive once the 6th Generation started, I would gladly say FF9 ended the series with a bang.
I always found 9 to be fairly lacking. There wasn’t a whole lot to do other than follow the story. This was also the period of time Square was getting heavily into their mini games. 8 is one of my favorites because there was a good amount of optional content with rewards that were well worth going out of your way to get. I still liked 5 and 6 the best simply because the linearity dropped out in the last chapters of the game and you really got that sense of exploration and discovery with great rewards for doing so. I do like 9 and I don’t want them to change the main game too much, but I would like some optional content a bit more substantial than a card game or capturing frogs….or beating it in a certain amount of time to get the best sword.
Tbf I would argue that Chocobo Hot n Cold which offers four new locations, a super boss, unique access to other secrets and has you searching the entire game world for treasures is pretty substantial optional content
I love the world and art style, can’t wait to see if the remake rumors are true.
Congrats on 100K!
I have to wonder what the point of a IX remake would be. It sounds like it would end up being the same game but with 3D backgrounds and, possibly, voice acting. Which would put it somewhere between a remaster and a remake.
Is this game on switch ? Do you think someone who's never played a final fantasy game could enjoy this title ?
Yes it is on switch and of course as long as you like long rpgs
Yes. This is a standalone game that you can definitely enjoy. This was my first FF game
I will play and finish ff9 before i die
You should :)
Congratulations Eric bro for reaching 100k subs~!!! 👏👏👏🥳🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for the interesting information! Makes me wanna replay FF9 😩
If Zidane's steal rate wasn't that bloody low, and we can actually control when the characters Trance, it would've been a perfect package.
Damn you Zidane 😂
it’s really an irony that the remastered version (more HD visual, altered interface) feels so much inferior to the original PS1 version, the font and interface style in the PS1 version feels really tailor-made specifically to the game and the PS1 pixelated graphic is a beauty in its own right
Great video man. I've have to agree man 9 is amazing 4 is personal favorite but 9 is incredible. I remember reading an article somewhere where Sakaguchi said before 9 became his favorite it used to be 5 because of the choices you could make with the Job system and the differnet ways you can take on the game. Seems like the team was inspired from their love of Wizardry.
When daga in the end looks to Zidane in that way before leaving 😢
Nice video Erick.
Love FF9!!!
Regarding the notion that it is the last "true" final fantasy, I can definitely understand that. 8 was my first FF to play, but 9 was the first one I fell in love with and beat. Having since played most of the others the feel of this game definitely feels like the culmination of the refinement of FF1-5. I wish it would be possible to make something new, with the visual fidelity of and a combat system similar to 7R, but a setting, story, tone, and soul that resembles 9. Probably not possible, but one can dream...
Absolutely my favorite Final Fantasy
Awesome. My first and the moat fafourite part.
My favourite Final Fantasy game😃
This is my personal favourite entry in the series. Entirely subjective of course. Mostly based on nostalgic feelings. I was born in '90 and got the game when I was 11, way to young to fully grasp the story, but I remember so vividly spending game nights with my friend and trying to beat the bosses and laugh with Steiner in the cutscenes. The game makes me feel warm inside, takes me back to a simpler time, and don't get me started on the soundtrack... The village of Dali's soundtrack is the epitome of peace and cozyness (despite what was going on underground 😅). This game makes me feel like the food critic from Ratatouille. I will remember this game for the rest of my life. Nothing beats a cozy JRPG :)
Great video
The meaning of life is the most important thing, to me, in this game. I love the emotional depth they managed to achieve. I feel like my soul will forever be linked to everyone who took part in creating this work of art. Just a little bit.... it's wonderful.
Erick Landon RPG, This made me laugh so much! Thanks for sharing!
i really love this video Erick thanks a lot, i really love this game, i hope the remake come someday.
I remember so little of this game that I could go back and it would be like playing a new game again. I remember loving it at the time! Going to hold off and pray for a remake though. I'd love to see a remake!
Ff ix is beautiful, i just feel they should polish the difficulty of the game and make damage abilities no overlapping each other
My favourite final fantasy game with my favourite protagonist. And IMO even though I do really like Sephiroth I like Kuja more. Hope the remake is just as good as the original.
i already considered this and 7 to be the very best regardless of how sakaguchi and uematsu felt
My favorite of all the Final Fantasy titles. Great video!
FFIX great game
Carregarei para sempre em meu coração, até o dia de minha morte, as memórias e conhecimentos sobre sentimentos, vida e existência representadas na história.
Mesmo eu não entendendo nada, pude interpretar e sentir. E, finalmente quando joguei traduzido, foi como se eu estivesse reconhecendo algo mágico.
Hoje em dia eu sei ler inglês, não perfeitamente, mas, sei a maior parte. Contudo, ainda é cansativo ter que traduzir cada palavra ao ler... por isso acho importante a tradução, ainda que muitas vezes perca um pouco do sentido proposto pelo artista. Contudo, causa menos fadiga no leitor. Enfim... por esse jogo, apenas amor.
Gotta make an update video now that leaker Midori has said that the remake is real.
This is my favorite Final Fantasy. Still wanna know what near death experience caused Fratley's amnesia. Kuja? Beatrix?
Final fantasy 9 is My favorite in the series great 😃👍 job
I bought it few years ago but sadly never played it so i have 0 clue about this game 😢
Hope the Remake will come pls!!!
My favorite in the series, and certainly one of the best ❤
Bring back Sakaguchi, Square!
The best FF for followed by the worst. At least of the entries I've played. FFIX forever
I always wanted to play this game and finally got it last year for Switch. Started playing it this year and reached by the ice cave fight 2 bosses & ofc I died so I have to start grinding so early in the game sigh. I'll get back to it later lol
I miss pre-rendered backgrounds. Are there any *modern* console games using the style? I'm drawing a Blank (pun absolutely intended!)
Nothing AAA, unfortunately.
Classic horror games being released has it
Sakaguchi was pretty involved in FFX too, and so was Uematsu, and it was the last actually good entry in the series despite changing things a bit (mostly the linearity and inclusion of voice acting, but it wasn't nearly as drastic as future entries).
😂😂😂 so cute
I've enjoyed this channel for like 3 years now and you provide a great perspective on JRPGs in general (I don't care what the other JRPG TH-camrs say about you, I think you come up with some of the best and most creative content, and you come off as a pretty down-to-earth dude)... but guy, you're too entrenched in the whole "games are now censored by the left's political views" narrative (i.e. mentioning DEI as one of the reasons you are worried about the FFIX Anime). At that point, you are just conflating "DEI" with censorship when DEI itself is a whole 'nother thing.
Is there a problem with political correctness in media? Absolutely! But to think that companies and developers are at the top prioritizing pleasing the "wokies" as opposed to just releasing games to make money is just asinine. Even companies like SweetbabyInc (or whatever the hell their name is) doesn't have the power you'd think they have and really they are just hired as consultants.
At the end of the day, the developers are going to release the game that they ultimately want. If a game ends up having a lot of left-wing narrative, then it probably is because the developers themselves are of the progressive mindset. And vice-versa with right-wing (look at Bioshock series with their heavy libertarian narrative)
TL;DR: It's just a waste of time to get all riled up and caught up in the toxicity of political zeitgeist. It's no reason to bring all that garbage to our favorite hobby in jRPGs. We're like in a new golden era of this genre and we should enjoy it, not politicize every single thing.
FF6 was my favorite in the series. FF9 was just okay to me. Loved Vivi but everything else was okay.
FF 10 was the last one I enjoyed. Iliked the gameplay but disliked the characters.
I've had a strong dislike of every new FF released since.
Also we need a FF9 remake or remaster
Personal opinion: FF 9 >>>>>>> FF7.
I just don't think this is the best FF because its battle system is all messed up.
Agreed, the combat is the weakest part.
@Necromass-pi2ih The battle is slow, trance works poorly.
That's why FFVII and VIII will always be overrated (worse with this shitty remake), but IX and VI will always be the best of the franchise.
FF9 is the only time ever where I had no problem with the female character cutting her hair. Zidane must've had really happy hands off-screen.
