  • lol i was lucky enough to realize a poiler and got out. but once i finish playing all 3 games ill be back dude... ill be back. ( i realize the spoilers where because u were doing a project)

  • you just spoiled the game for me =P great review thou i sub

  • Wasn't hard to beat? Did you actually face Ozma? He is rated as the most difficult boss in the entire series, and FF9 is easy? Sure easy to beat, but the extra shit you have to get in order to complete the game is super hard!

  • When you have to shimmy across the bridge of the prison in 8 I was plown away at the time.

  • A little advice: Lower the background music, because its a little hard to hear your voice :)

  • I liked this review. 9 was my favorite installment in the series. It's villain was an evil cross dressing Shakespeare! LOL!

  • i saw both bioshock and an underoath poster in the same camera pan. this man is amazing

  • BAH this review is botched! he likes FF8.

  • nice review dude!

  • Necron is a being that was risen from the Zero-World that followed Kuja and believed close to what he did.

  • kick ass GTA4 poster in the background :)

  • Comment removed

  • ANYWAYS!!!

  • Good review! I might go buy this now... At first I had no interest in this game whatsoever but you've changed my mind.

    And I agree, I haaate the junction system, kinda takes away from the fun of FFVIII.

  • Better than VIII. I'm sorry but 8 was really boring. It lacked the quirkiness of VII and IX.

  • cute and smart!

  • Why didn't I finish this!

    I had the data on my psp which I sold.

    I could download it to my ps3 from the psn, but Id have to start over T.T

  • My favorite FF game. I wish this game would get its own anime like FF5 did... except, y'know, actually follow the game.

  • dude i love you lol

  • lol Totally agreed on Necron.

  • Did you get a good grade on this?

    btw, good review! FFIX was my first FF game and one of my favorites in the series.

  • hahaha true! to this day i still dont know why fighting necron was necessary

  • Nice Review!`

    I bought a mint copy of this a few weeks ago and I forgot how fun it was. :D

  • Why does everyone hate junctioning system in the 8? I loved playing around in it.

  • @KvalnirFox yeah me too :D i love junctioning system. I think a lot of people hate it because its actually harder to use and more complicated.

  • Good review, but of course it won't be challenging when you cheat your stats :P

  • lol at 1:01 hahaaha XD "anywayss...

  • YOU CAN PLAY PS GAMES ON PS3?!! I THOUGHT THEY COULDN'T DO THAT!!!

  • @terraventusaqua123 I hope you're being sarcastic...

  • @terraventusaqua123 put a PS game in your PS3 and it will play it... put a PS2 game in your PS3 and it wont play it (unless its the original 60GB one). I made the same mistake at first to

  • Good review man, ff9 is one of my favs.

  • You cant just tell that the story is great and blabla, people wouldnt understand that they need to actually play the game to feel all the intensity and the beauty of the story and the gameplay. You spoiled the hole story by showing the two final bosses and expect people will enjoy discovering the plot twists ? I know this is a school project and shit, but CONGRATS for ruining the shit out of a masterpiece in 9 minutes. Please, dont ever do a FF review again !!

  • Comment removed

  • The theory of Necron being the boss inside lifa tree is one i tend to run with. It has some things to back it up in the games lore. Though for many these were often way too quick and out of palces one lines here and there :S

    And while it floats my boat, it certainly was confusing to me too the first time around and i think it deserves critism despite how awsome the rest of the game is :)

  • "So I guess it's time to play the game now, huh? 8D" LOL XD

  • Nice review man, this game really is under-appreciated. Only cuz FF8 and FF7 were futuristic setting games and the fact that this went back to its classic tone was probably not quite as well respected. The story by itself is amazing.

  • Way to spoil the ending dude

  • @227ujo ok u hated 10 because of tidus which aside from being a bit of a dork was a kickass hero but u liked ten-2 which was basically final fantasy 10 with barbie dress up and a evil rip off tidus with the most retarded name ever yes shuyin is worst then the onion knight

  • But still good review

  • Acron was actually mention in ff4 he is the god of death in the previous games only awoken by the destruction of all four crystals which never actually happened before but with there only being one crystal which kuja destroys kinda makes sense as for the crystal itself did u not pay attention there were vague references to it when u talked to doc tot the first time " the books talk about a crystal but the pendant is to small to be a crystal"

  • Wait wut? PS3 can play PS1 games? lol

  • @SuperDuperSonicSpeed yup but it can't play ps2 games for some stupid fucking reason >_>

  • @D2Synua That is so fuckin dumb lol

  • nice gaming stuff in the background

  • Good review but you should have put a beginning part where Vivi walks trough sunny Alexandria! That's the first scene I saw on a TV and loved it. The designers really wanted to bring that FF to the origins and I think they did it. After so many FF games that go into "modern setting", FFXV, if it's made, should be like FFIX's medieval setting - a return to the roots. They need to do this at least once in a while beside regularly killing the series.

  • FF7= meh

    FF8= Draw system made the game unplayable for me

    FF9= Great one of my favorite FF games

    FFX= Tidus... nuff said (i hated the game)

    FFX-2= i looked past it faults and found an enjoyable game

    FFXI= MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION!!! FUCK YOU SQUARE!!! FFXII= ...it's hard to say

    FFXIII= all i can say is Wtf Square

    FFXIV= avoided it like The Plague and AIDS

  • @227ujo You sir/miss have down syndrome.

  • one of the best rpgs

  • lol I stopped at "at the end of final fantasy IX, Kuja is sta....." Don't spoil it! I'm on my first play through

  • 1:01

    lol'd

  • A cute guy reviewing one of the best rpg games I've ever played, hmmm yeah :D... Btw nice gaming setup you've got there! When the ost started playing I was right back in fourth grade, lying on my bed during summer holidays and playing this with a friend of mine :dreamy:... Godddd FF9 would make a great remake (ofc if they leave most of the stuff intact and just update graphics and the cgi stuff)!

  • @Helios89Zg ;)

  • @Fragadactilobs personally:I think the best ff games are:FF6 ff4 ff tactics and ff9,or ff6 ff4 ff9 and ff tactics.

    Its hard for me to decide between ff tactics and ff9,because i like both games.

    FF9's gagazet piece is a remix of the original ff1 volcano piece,so it definitely pays a homage.

    I think the whole fantasy thing is also refreshing too.My problem is:I like the serious characters in ff tactics quite a bit,so its hard to decide between ff9's characters and ff tactics.

  • @Helios89Zg I agree, more please!!

  • @Helios89Zg shut up bitch

  • try not to spoil stuff for others like telling them about the last boss and stuff

  • Why did you keep bringing up FFVII??? And comparing them? That's biast when you do a review...review the content given not content of another entirely different subject matter...ugh

  • @SleeperFaction this video was a project for highschool.  go away

  • @Fragadactilobs I was asking recently on a forum:Why do people shun this game?

    I feel that sometimes,it either gets overshadowed by games like ff7 and FFX.

    Anyways back to the other part:Its hard to decide between the cartoony feel of ff9,and ff tactics.

    FF tactics is a serious aproach at story telling with deep characters,while ff9 is not so serious a lot of times.I often prefer characters such as delita and ramza over characters like zidane and quina who are plain goofy.

  • @Fragadactilobs XD go away.

  • @SleeperFaction I personally think ff9 is a better game than ff7,of course that is my opinion.

    I think ff7 is very overrated,and gets far too much praise.

  • @piromaniac9999 Agreed. FF7's characters and plot are completely laughable, the graphics are flat out stupid, it has a bunch of unfitting OST, etc.

  • @EliroX904 The game i compare to ff9,is ff tactics.

    FF tactics characters compare to ff6 very well,because both have some very serious characters that are seriously well developed,and you can really feel.Till this day,i am comparing ff4 ff tactics and ff9,trying to decide which is my favorite,and thats because of ramza delite and agrias.

    I found that i really like delitas and his sister,and i actually wanted to skip the fights just to hear more about the story itself,so you can imagine.

  • great review, but I doubt a non-gamer would understand half of what you're saying though.

    Still a very good and accurate review :)

  • I love the head turn when he said "Anyways!"

    xD

  • 7 wasnt really futuristic, more of a fantasy inspired, 90's retro futuristic, steam punk type thing.

  • hey can u really play ps1 games on a ps3?

  • @TheMcmillionator uhh yes thats a standard feature. you got down syndrome or something?

  • @Fragadactilobs no i just didnt know

    i thought u had to buy them on PSN

  • @Fragadactilobs Not on the PS3 slim ya jackass.

  • @Fragadactilobs The older model of the ps3 plays ps2 and ps1 games, but the newer ones don't. Most people who were late buying their system missed out on that feature.

  • @Fragadactilobs No I don't. I just didnt know, dick. I hope you get YLOD, asshole.

  • I honestly think that FF7 and FF9 were my favorite ff's and the two best in the series

  • Love this review, nice and organized

  • Wtf u ass dont tell me the end, im planning on beating the game this weekend

  • looks like you got an A+ for this. ;)

  • the best one by far, there will never be another 9

  • @ddvs2012 Impossible, why would Square remake a game that already exists? Therefor it applies to all numbers, I don't understand your comment.

  • Thanks for almost giving away the ending and the last boss. Talk about some really bad spoilers....What were you thinking?

  • fun fact: Final fantasy IX was first planned to be a spin-off but was then turned into one of the main series.

    nice review you should do more. and i think Necron is symbolic or such that he represents death (as his name suggests) since -Spoiler- kuja kills your party before dieing himself

  • final fantasy 9 aint easy .. it doesnt need system .. it needs excalibur 2 .. capiche hombre ?

  • This review was bad. The battles would be way harder if you didn't cheat and the system is the ability system!

  • @maximusthecockatiel You are an idiot. That wasn't my real file, that was just a file I downloaded on my computer for the sake of having some game play footage to show. I couldn't record my real file on my PS3 so I just recorded one with a video capture program on my computer. So stfu.

  • @Fragadactilobs You made such a great game sound like a game that you will pass up! FFIX IS THE BEST GAME IN MY LIFE! P.S. YOU HONERED!

  • You have an epic setup... when Im about 25, I intend to have a setup nearly as epic as that... oh yeah, Necron showed up Because he was angry that nobody mentioned him before and nobody will ever mention him again... so he decided to destroy time itself by showing everybody his face with holes in it... this will result in time having a heart attack, dividing by zero and imploding...

  • Funny thing is that, when I first played the game, I pronounced Zidane as Ze-dayne to.

    It wasn't untill Dissidia came out that I realized that his name is pronounced as Zih-dahn.

  • @hedgehoundable word, I haven't played Dissidia so I wasn't sure how it was pronounced haha

  • @Fragadactilobs It was on your shelf...

  • @Fragadactilobs theres a famous soccer player named zidane

  • How come only one of the PS2 Final Fantasy games was a real Final Fantasy game? And how come I don't even like that one?

    Ah, I guess I always have preferred Dragon Quest and games similar to that to Final Fantasy. Whatever.

  • @dragoniguana what?

  • @Fragadactilobs What?

  • @Fragadactilobs Why was this for your English class?

  • @Fragadactilobs I read the description but i still dont gethow a game review fits into it please do tell :)

  • @111axa1 the assignment was to make a video review for something, most people did books or movies, i did a videgame

  • @dragoniguana English mothafucka! Do you speak it!

  • @tigerblade79 ...English?

  • @dragoniguana Please revise that comment, i have no clue what you said :P

  • @tigerblade79 To be honest, neither do I.

  • @dragoniguana Lol

  • Nice FLCL poster. I'de love that.

  • why in god's name would you show gameplay of the end of the game? you are basically ruining the story. plus you actually spoiled the last boss. that's a grand mighty fail....

  • Sounds promising. I just recently bought it from the PlayStation Store and it seems pretty theatrical, which is not something I expected; I like this unique feature to the game.

  • Good review my friend thank you very much.

  • I spy an Underoath poster!!

  • Final Fantasy IX is one my favorite games of all time, when I play it it brings me back to when I was a kid playing it and being so into the engaging story.

  • Don't forget FF XIV. Best of the series. Am I right? Lol JK :P

  • @roarface my ps3 can play my old ps2 games. it depends on what ps3 u own. i got one of the first ps3s

  • i say screw you. this is a great review other than the fact that you immendiately reveal hardcore spoilers about the end of the game. ive never played this ff game but now i know the end and even when i do play it ill know whats gonna happen at the end...big time ef up. next time you feel the need to ruin the game for someone please include a spoiler alert

  • @bigasmith23 THANK GOD!!! Thank you for posting this bc otherwise I would've be FUCKING PISSED if I would've watched. Just bc people make a review DOES NOT mean they have to spoil the fucking game. ESPECIALLY NOT THE ENDING!!!

  • im like you the plot twists just didnt sit well with me. The first few discs were really good and i followed along but then when garland shows up and you go to gaia....yeah thats where i got lost. I loved everything else about the game though battle system and weapons and all.

  • You should have mentioned the Chocobo Tresaure hunting! One of the most fun parts of the game in my opinion! :)

  • About the Crystal and Necron. It's like this. After discovering that he's mortal, Kuja goes on a suicide mission to destroy the Crystal, which is the source of all life on Gaia. He figures if he's going down, he's taking everyone with him. Necron emerges from the destroyed Crystal. Assuming that the humans destroyed the source of all life, he deems mankind too self-destructive to survive. So he sets out to finish the job for them. But he is defeated (and proven wrong) by Zidane and the party.

  • Comment removed

  • You missed out Chocobo Hot and Cold!! Somehow I prefer the Chocobo's in FF IX rather than the ones in the recent series of FF.

    Awesome review :) You brought out FF IX like it was and how it is now.

  • god dammit you! you might wanna warn before giving the ending away

  • Excellent review & I hear Necron is actualy the spirit of the crystal

    you really should do more reviews even if it's just you doing voice overs

    you cover every point so well I hope to see more reviews from you soon

  • When playing this game on the PS3, are the graphics enhanced at all from the PSN version or the original disc? Also, does buying from PSN crop the game screen on a HDTV? I hate when my while screen isn't in use...thanx in advance guys...

  • i hate you !

    you have the 1 version of the ps3 that playes ps2 and ps1 games ...

    they discontinued that 1 verseion a few months after they put it out ...

    there are no other ps3s that play previous playstation games :(

  • @allacazzip123 naah you're wrong, I can't play ps2 games. I got my ps3 a year and a half after they came out. even if my ps3 could play ps2 games, i would still use my ps2 because they look like shit on the ps3.

  • @allacazzip123 If I remember correctly PS1 games play on all PS3 consoles. It's the PS2 games that they dropped in the slim versions

  • @allacazzip123 Haaaaaaaa I have one. Haaaaaa you don't.

    Seriously though, if you want one, just look on eBay. Either that or fork over a $100 and get a PS2.

  • @allacazzip123 You can use ps1 games on any ps3. Just not ps2.

  • I've been playing this game since I was 5, and I have no idea who Necron is.

  • this nigga foolish lol

  • Very good review looking forward to more (if you make any)

    Only bad thing was if your going to show the ending then make sure you put a spoilers message at the beggining of the video.

  • hmmm... i see you have the cover art from my favorite album from underoath... (they're only chasing safety)

  • First step in writing a review, SPOILERS!

  • bad ass room yo

  • 1:00 LOL

  • Hell yeah! Underoath poster!

  • And I liked the review. But I don't think it's a good idea to spoil parts of the ending in a review.

  • FFIX is somewhat a bit easy - yes. But its value lies within the storyline and the characters. It's a story about friendship, home, life and death... Such themes that we all struggle with in one way or another.

    As for Necron and the crystal I think they are more of a philosophical symbolization coherent with the theme of the story, and should not be regarded as actual objects. I didn't find them misplaced. Especially regarding the nature of Memoria.

    One of the best games I ever pla

  • @Svetsarkirurgen Yep, you worded that very well, I agree completely.

  • I hate FFVII, FFVIII, FFX and especially FFXII... and also FFXIII. They just ruin the reasons I could ever have to love Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy IX though is like a dream coming through. Oh, and if you wonder why I have FFXII especially - gambits, stupid fighting system, lame music, silly characters, stupid story ripping off Star Wars in many ways... FFXII is the worst game I've ever played. Thank god for FFIX.

  • I SEE THE USED!!!! :D

  • Dammit, I envy you! I always wanted to have the original FFIX for PS1!

    It was the 1st RPG i've ever played, and the experience was so damn epic. Think i'll buy it at PSN.

  • this was in my recommended video and yes ff9 is best you would have to have no taste in rpg at all to dislike this game best music ,best story ,best graphics

    as for necron he is copy of Necrophobe from FFV remember this game is a tribute to past ff games cut scenes in this game are epic especially for its time you also say this game is not challenging have you battled ozma and please stop comparing rpg to shooters

  • @neoarcadezr Use sentences, moron... it's annoying to read your text when you don't use any big letters or sentences... damnit.

  • Buying It :D

  • Really sweet review. Hope you do more in the future.

  • pretty good but u shouldnt spoil the ending and story but other than tht pretty good

  • Wait , KuJa's a GUY!?!?!

    i thought it was a girl.

  • @burstfiredragon kuja and zidane are brothers..

  • Once you got the hang of the junctioning system in 8 it was actually pretty usefull. Also, there was a system in 9. Your equipement had abilities you could learn if you spent enough time using it, then afterwards in the skills section you had a certain amount of AP and every ability costs some ap and you have to decide which skills you wanted respecting its cost. You of course already know this I am sure, I am just saying 9 did have a system.

  • ahhhhh, would've kept watching but i didn't want to here the spoilers! >:/

  • who is the boss you're fighting in 6:10??? i never seen it... how sad...

  • A very well balanced and intelligent review. You have my thumbs up.

  • How did you get 9999 HP and 999 MP for everyone?

    

  • dude nice Family guy poster (0:27 if anyone curious)

  • You seem like a normal, cool dude. I thought I was the only non-nerd who loved Final Fantasy.

  • necron is immortal. as long as life and death exist, necron is invincible. ALL HAIL NECRON!!

  • You got to do this for a class project!?

  • pretty enjoyable review. It would be nice if this was not a one time thing.

  • dude, i love your decor. Totally looks like somewhere I'd wanna live, haha

  • @TommyBoy249r thanks bro

  • This review was actually PRETTY FLIPPIN GOOD!

  • They wanted a more bad ass last boss!!!

  • I think you should make more video game reviews. You are very good at describing this game into deep detail. I enjoyed it. Maybe you can give FF XIII a review :]

  • @iiFroZenHeAveNz I wanna make more review too but I don't own a camera, I was just using my friends to make this :(

  • nice

  • FFIX is my favourite game of all time!

    In terms of the plot flaws - Necron is justified in a more philosophical sense. Although I wasn't that much of a fan of him, I thought he made a very good boss battle.

  • Best FF-games: FFIV FFVI FFVII FFVII: Crisis Core FFIX FFX VIII is mediocre because I really couldn't get into the gameplay. V's story was so boring, I played it for one hour, and then I quit. FFI-II-III never grabbed my attention. FFX-2, a disgrace to X FFXII, a big W-T-F?!?! FFXIII, enjoyable, but not FF-like. Too linear, too much Action-elements in it...
  • @38GencFenerli VIII took me a long time to appreciate because the junction system was so annoying but once i worked through it i really enjoyed it. I should probably put VI higher up on the list ahead of VIII

  • @Fragadactilobs Definitely. I have VIII too but like the first two discs were good, but then it really started getting shitty. The story was just grabbing my attention, but then Edea being this and that just really screwed it for me. The card game is what I don't like also, the Junctioning thing and having to draw every battle to have alot of different magic is just annoying. I just couldn't get into it..

  • @38GencFenerli Every thing u said was right except for FF13, i think Sqeenix Did a good job + they wanted to mix it up a bit

  • thats a meme waiting to happen Hi incase you didnt know im pat fulmer and i explain (place funny combination here)

  • @crackpiperomance hahaha fuck yeah dude
