Final Fantasy IXSep 02, 2010 Final Fantasy ix is in my opinion the best final fantasy there is. The characters seem a little more childish than other final fantasys, but dont let that drive you away. You play as several characters and go through there lives including zidane, a thief that has a monkey tail and the hots for the princess, vivi, a cute shy mage who tries the entire game to discover his origins. Princess Garnet, a princess with the power to summon all powerful eidolons, Steiner, the princess's knight in shining armor...sort of, as well as many others. It is a classic turn based rpg. There are so many things to love about this game. The music for one, is so beautiful, i actually have the soundtrack and i can play some on the piano, ive never fell in love with the music of a video game like this one...especially the piece "loss of me". Also there are tons of little items to find all over the land which makes you want to explore. Many rpgs nowadays have great graphics such as when you enter a house but its just for looks theres nothing to find...not so with this game. You also have a sidequest where you can collect cards and battle others in the game to win cards...kinda like pokemon or yugioh. You have a tons of cool weapons and armor to get throughout the game and theres plenty of awesome abilities to learn and plenty of sidequests to complete so it will take you quite a while to complete this game. It has a very intense story and the cutscenes are amazing and very captivating. The story is amazing...you start out in what is like a medieval setting and towards the end you end up on another planet and you go all the way to the end of the universe even. This is a great game for anyone who loves rpgs. So if you havent played this one, GET IT!! You wont be disappointed
Great gameAug 06, 2010 This game is, in my opinion, underrated. The story line is by far one of the best out of the series, and the graphics, for its time, are wonderful. The soundtrack is absolutely beautiful, possibly even Nobuo Uematsu's best work out of all the Final Fantasies. The characters are memorable, and gameplay is great. Learning abilities is easy to do and understand. The game is long, but not boring or monotonous. The length only adds to the time you'll enjoy it. There are plenty of sidequests, be they finding Chocobo's Paradise, learning the princess's real name, fighting hidden bosses, or excavating fossils! You can even deliver mail to the moogles and find Mognet Central, the moogles' mail place. This game has plenty to do and never leaves the player bored.
2nd Fav. Final Fantasy game behind number 8Jul 24, 2010 Another great game from Squaresoft. Great gameplay and thousands of side-quests to keep you amused for months. The storyline in itself is sometime so absorbing that when your up at 3am playing instead of studying for your Government final, you forget its a game.

it is back for PSP and PS3Jul 06, 2010 I have the original version (PSX), but I halted on CD3 because the official guide sucks!!! (now I even can't retrieve codes from Square Enix or [...]!).
Recently I checked PS Online and found this game and now it's for PSP! It is fun to carry it everywhere to fill up an hour of train ride.
The only down side is: it's too addictive. You don't realize you spent a few hours a day just for playing the game!
If you want a strategy guide, search it on internet for text-only version. Stay away from official guide!
