I've played this game dozens of times since I was a kid and I had no idea there were even random encounters in this room.
The fact that they took the effort to model a 3D battlefield just for this one room is nuts, golden age Squaresoft was something else man.
Ha hecho este patrón de punto de cruz como regalo, ha quedado chulísimo :D me encanta Vivi con el moguri ^^
Safe to say my sanity and my electric bill was destoyed lmaooooo😭
After hours of play, I finally plat this game
Many hours spent and now it's all over.
The final boss Necron was too tricky to beat.
I feel sad leaving this game due to feeling so attached to all the characters, especially Vivi and Beatrix, my absolute favourites 💔
So I've been replaying this game and I've noticed the South Gate seems wrong and I was wondering if there was a reason for this or if it's just me getting things wrong. Essentially when you visit the South Gate on the Lindblum side near the Chocobo Forest you enter on the screen that Baku and the rest used on their way out of the Evil Forest/on their way to Lindblum. And when you enter on the Alexandria side after getting a way to transverse the mountain/fly you find the area that Dagger and Steiner use to go to Alexandria. Specifically when you get to the top they look out over the land and declare they are home but to get to the route they took you need to be down by the Ice Cavern? Was this just the Devs putting the areas in the wrong screens or am I dumb?
Just finished my first play through in over 10 years. One thing I had forgot that I really like about this game is that the numbers don’t bloat to the tens of thousands. In my run (not completionist or very optimized) I ended the game around level 45 and 2500-3500 hp-ish on each character.
Comparing that to the astronomical numbers so prevalent in the genre now a days they are very modest. And I love it. It makes every stat seem more important, and it feels better.
Finally finished this level 1 run challenge,
i've already made an almost perfect
file ages of years ago (2002) back in ps1 days (245 Hours of Gameplay) But never tried to do this challenge before, now it's done! And now it's time to grind hardcore!
Lets Go 💯
FF9 is my favourite, and play arts has been a hit or miss when it comes to their figures. I am so proud to say that Zidane, out of all the play arts including the other few Shin figures, is probably the best SquareEnix has ever made to date. They didn't mess up any details, they stayed faithful to his design language unlike his past edgier redesigns I absolutely loathe, and added so much intricate details to his character we could only have imagine when we were staring at his outfit 20+ years ago. It just feels so out of the blue, as a massive FF9 fan I feel seen by Square, and them putting so much love and care to this one character from a line not as popular as their bigger ones just puts a sense of bewildering wonder in me.
As a figure he functions well enough. No crazy revolution in articulation or anything, and the joints tends to be a little too loose. They need to nail down the joints as they have relied on their ratchet system for too long, now that they tried normal friction based joints system that allows for better posing, they have yet to find the proper calibration for such important things. Otherwise, hands-down the BEST play arts they have made ever, in my humble opinion.
Don't tell me this is a coincidence.
I am at the pinnacle rocks and only just realised that I missed a party member. I didn't realise I had to do a sidequest, I assumed all party members would join throughout the story. Can I get them later? And if so, how long will it be until I get an opportunity to recruit them?
I assume everyone’s favorite music consists of like the place I’ll return to someday or the theater song, or Kuja theme. My personal favorite is Not Alone and runner ups would be Festival Of The Hunt and the Chocobo Song.
But I’d like to hear what everyone’s best and memorable songs from the game is
P.S. So I read everyone’s comments! Absolutely love going back through and re listening to some of the music I forgotten. What a great experience and respect everyone’s favorite songs! Lol the only disappointment is I didn’t see anyone favorite theme Qu Marsh or Quina’s Theme lol! The countless hours of Frog Gigging lol.
Thank You for everyone who commented their favorites!
I like this track a lot but only recently realized the audio quality of this one is off even on Uematsu's official channel. It sounds a bit muted like the recording is from an another room.

Does anyone know of a good remake that has the same structure or a better original recording if it exists? I went through about 30 ff9 pandemonium remakes on youtube but they each change something so it doesnt feel the same

Played on pc with the amazing meguri mod.
Anyway this FF is one that I only played once long ago and it’s insane how much I forgot.
I’m currently playing 2 games at a time, one new game and one old FF/jrpg to refresh my memory. Of all the games I’ve replayed I think this is the one that I see the most different.
9 and 10 despite being extremely loved aren’t two of my favorites at all historically, but I’ve had a big change of heart. Just about everything this game did especially for its time is perfect and putting most modern jrpgs to shame.
I don’t know where I’d rank it, not gonna do a hard for sure ranking until I’ve replayed 7 8 and 10.
Anyway I had it at an 8/10 before but it’s a 10/10 now.
That is all. Have to decide between 8 and 10 now
I grew up playing Final Fantasy IX, and it's still one of my favorite games ever. I haven't played it in a long time, but recently I've been getting the itch to dive back in.
This time, though, I want to make it my "ultimate" playthrough. I'm planning to go for the Platinum trophy and complete as much of the game as possible, so I'd love to hear any tips you guys have.
I'm looking for pretty much anything: the best places to farm EXP/AP/Gil, the best gear for each character, strong builds, the best party setups, missable content, useful side quests, hidden mechanics... basically anything that can help.
I'd also like to get the absolute most out of every character. If there are specific stats I should focus on or the best ways to optimize each character, I'd love to know. For example, I assume Vivi becomes an absolute monster if you maximize his Magic stat, but I'd love to hear how experienced players usually build everyone.
Basically, throw all your FFIX knowledge at me! I'm hoping this will be my definitive playthrough, so any advice, tips, or hidden tricks are more than welcome.
PS: I know Excalibur II needs a "rush" playthrough so just dont consider it
I was using turn based in Memoria, but I was trying to figure out how haste and slow work with turn based. Do these spells actually do anything? I also heard Regen is nerfed using turn based. This is my first time going through the game, so I am wondering if I should go back to normal ATB. Thank you in advance!
How do permanent stat boosts on level up work in ff9? I know it's based on equipment and the bonuses are 1/32 per point, but is there a chart for how many bonus points each equipment gives?
