Final Fantasy IX

Final Fantasy IX cover
Final Fantasy IX – (personal opinion) Another chapter of his incredible series of games, and it is my honour to keep commenting these great quests of adventure, love and friendship. And this is one of the best Final Fantasy’s that have been made, second only, in my opinion, to the seventh chapter. Well, the first thing I can clearly state is that when I saw the graphics of this game for the first time I was absolutely blown away. Although the game didn’t have the realism of the seventh and eighth chapters, it had almost enough graphical work to be a PS2 game. It took the PSX to its limit. Musically speaking this game has incredible symphonies, I personally love the one that appears in the main title, it is superb; even the combat music is very cool, as you would expect. As for the story that surrounds this great epic, it captures the player and releases him in an in an astounding adventure through out the world, where your objectives keep changing with time and as you discover that you are involved in a bigger and bigger matter every time. But, but in terms of characters I have found that each of their personalities aren’t as charismatic or as epic as the characters of this game’s ancestors, it is always a good characteristic of a game if there is a certain character that the player himself wants to become. This is a recipe for success in an RPG. Another detail that I have found somewhat confusing is that most (and I mean most with capital m) of the most interesting items and the best summon of all in the game can only be acquired by using the traditional chocoboos, and, as I see it, it downgrades the game a bit. Aside from this, it is a great gaming experience for those who like this genre.
A magical epic
