Customer Reviews

great!
this was the 3rd final fantasy game i've played... i have enjoyed every single one so far! this is one of my favorites.. probably second.. :D

the story is different compared to the other final fantasies but it's still very interesting! really enjoyed playing it again.. after... 7 or 8 years.. really worthwhile! yeah!

Great.
I'll admit, I'm a bit biased. Personally this is one of my least favorite games in the series. But that doesn't mean it isn't fun. The name Final Fantasy does come with certain standards. For example, I love the method of learning new skills in this game, although I wanted to swear at Square for the new Limit Break system, in this game called 'Trance'.

Trance is out of your control. Once the gauge fills up, you automatically use it. You get a slightly different but very shiny new costume, and with that comes a massive boost in power and access to special techniques. The gauge empties out with each action you take, so after about three turns you change back to normal, and regardless of how full it was when the fight ended, it empties out when the fight is over. This means it's nearly impossible to actually make use of it in, say, a boss fight. More often than not you end up wasting it on some random battle just before the boss fight actually begins, and it takes way too long to fill up to just run around before the fight. If you have a life. It's sad, really.

Other than that, I think the game was great. The characters were all fun, and the story was very interesting. It was a very nice change from the previous titles in the series, which isn't bad at all. You should definitely own this game.

A great game, but a bit dated
This great classic is starting to get old, but is still a blast to play and the last "classic" Final Fantasy

Wow this game is still going strong!!!
Well you are probably not gonna believe me but...Ever since this game came out it was around $35.00 and ever since after its release it was reduced to 20.00.And it has been like that ever since,even today it is 20.00 new.Not because its a crappy game.No its because it is an excellent game.An excellent price for an excellent game.No i'm not gonna spoil it for you cause i want you to buy it.I have owned this game since 2000,and its not cause i'm a huge fan of the final fantasy series,its that this game is simply one of the best,including final fantasy 7.FF9 includes great music,great graphics for the playstation 1 and an overall excellent storyline that gives you the chills every time.I love this game.I'm 18 and i still play it today,take my word for it you will not be disappointed.If you want more info on this game just tell me and ill gladly reply.This is what rpg is all about =)

Final Fantasy 9
This game, while hard to find, is worth every penny. The storyline, graphics, and tactics make for hours of amusement and the music is some of the best I have heard in any video game. Definately a thumbs up!
