Final Fantasy IX for PlayStation 1

Pros: Great story, wonderful game play, in-depth characters, awesome graphics/music/sound fx
Cons: Sub-quests/sub-games were too hard

After making the last three games in the Final Fantasy series more "technology-based" in plot, Square finally listened to their fans and returned the series to what made it so popular in the beginning. Final Fantasy 9 brings focuses more on the magic and...

Pros: Great graphics and sound, amazing characters, all the things that make final fantasy the best
Cons: Can't control when you use trance. Unbelievably short for FF.

I admit it, I have a tendency to love everything that squaresoft makes, with the notable exception of the whole saga frontier thing. So sue me. But, when it comes to Final Fantasy, there is nothing better. I have played them all, repeatedly. I just...

Pros: Numerous subplots, good characters, good storyline.
Cons: Vivi's "My poor people" routine getting a little old...

What can I say? Final Fantasy IX is a really excellent game.

One of the things that I really like is the fact that SquareSoft is going back to its roots by ditching the whole cyberpunk/future scheme and going back to where it all began:...

Pros: Excellent storyline and characters; stunning music and use of PS1 graphics.
Cons: Not enough replay value. Once it's done, you may not play it again for years.

I've always been a fan of the Final Fantasy series. From the very first title on the N.E.S., to the current prospects of a big comeback on Nintendo's Gamecube hardware, I've always found it exciting to hear about the next big FF. Simply put, the series...

Pros: Nothing can compare to it
Cons: I'm not going to be able to leave my house for weeks

I bought this game today, like 3 hours ago, and I've played it ever since. So don't worry about me spoiling the plot for you, but even in my little time of playing the game I've seen enough to know it's a masterpiece.

My Final Fantasy...

Pros: Good gameplay, back to old FF
Cons: short

Chalk up another one for Squaresoft. After playing FF8, I was left longing for the older Final Fantasy game play. Learning magic, not so "people like" charaters, my mages. I was happy to see Squaresoft decided to go back to the older feel and...

Pros: Everything looks good
Cons: Looks can be deceiving

At long last the galleons holding thousands of American copies of Final Fantasy IX have docked among the harbors cluttered with the eagerly waiting fans of the series. The game was released last Tuesday, and although I have yet to obtain my copy, Here's...

Pros: Classic FF gaming (older gamers will definitely love this, gamers who started with FF7 will probably still like it anyway.) overall great game
Cons: Classic FF gaming (either you really like classic gaming, or you don't, or it's just a completely new thing for you...)

If you weren't satisfied with the 'new' approach that FF7 and especially FF8 had to offer, and were longing for the 'good old days' of FF RPGs, then FF9 does the job and more. Like a lot of old RPG gamers, I was disappointed with FF8 and too much...

Pros: Gorgeous graphics, easy-to-use weapon/ability system and LOTS and LOTS of side quests
Cons: Not the strongest of story lines

For those of you who have read my FFVII review you will know that it converted me to an avid rpg AND playstation fan. That game broke the mould in so many ways that it was always going to be hard to follow it.

And FFVIII tried. It tried very...

Pros: Extremely addictive, amazing graphics
Cons: Hard to start off, too many fights

FF9 is Playstation's last attempt to make some money off the FF series before it moves up to PS2. Believe me it will do just that.

Concept: The concept of this game is to go throughout the various worlds fighting other creatures with...

Pros: Excellent story and a variety of mini-games.
Cons: Out of place emotions.

When Final Fantasy IX first debuted in U.S., I wasn't really hyped up about it. After maybe a year from its release, I borrowed it from a friend just to try this RPG. To my surprise, this is the BEST RPG I have ever played.

The story this...

Pros: Great Characters and a Great Story to boot. Final Fantasy lives on.
Cons: Absolutely none that I can see.

The Final Fantasy line continues on stronger then ever in this recent version for the playstation. This game has some of the most memorable characters that you've every had the joy to play. Final Fantasy 9 brings the player back to the old style world...

Pros: good gameplay
Cons: card game sucks

Well finally Final Fantasy 9 is here and I been waiting a while for it to come out and now its here. I have other FF(Final Fantasy's) 7 and 8, I plan to get all of them because these games are the best rpg's out there. This is the last Final Fantasy and...

Pros: Cool characters, amazing graphics, not hard to learn
Cons: Card mini-game was confusing, identity crisis plotline got old.

FFIX was my first Final Fantasy game. One of my friends got me to play it by giving me an MP3 of the song Melodies of Life, which is the ending theme to the game. "Oh, my, god" was my reaction after seeing the first FMV. I'd played nothing but...

Pros: Beautiful graphics, easy to master battle system, lovable characters and a great villian.
Cons: This game was over too quickly...

Hmmm... *taps finger on keyboard* What to write about this game...

Well... first off, it's better than VIII. The story isn't heavy-handed with that feeling that it's trying to be important, and the characters are light-hearted, reachable souls...
