  • Zidane is a fuckin stud. He totally styles on the lame emo-punktard protagonists in the series and gets the woman of his dreams by winning her over romantically rather than others who just make the love interests in their lives feel sorry for their dunb asses. You know this guy's getting it in after this scene.

  • Vivi <3 :)

  • The awkward moment when you're on stage in front of Alexandria and you're waiting for Garnet to run downstairs, through a crowd, and jump into your arms.

  • perfect ending

  • I never noticed how much of a stalker Steiner looks when Beatrix is leaving. Standing in the dark corner & all lol

  • Vivi is not dead! Don't believe Ondore's lies!

  • it wasn't until years later that I found out it was Vivi who was talking at the end, and that he died shortly after, for some reason as a kid I thought it had been Garnet, even though seeing this now, that wouldn't have made much sense.

    I would have been so heartbroken if I knew it had been Vivi when I played this as a kid though. Vivi was my most favorite FF character ever! Even watching this as an adult I still get a little teary eyed.

  • *sigh and squee*

    I love this! Best Final Fantasy game as far as storyline goes!

  • wish they would make a movie of Final Fantasy IX

  • Steiner at 0:25 lol...i always loved that dude hes so hilarious

  • i really wish rpg games were still like this , such as what happened after ff10 how can of it gone downhill as in the story and battle system

  • @Mitchie0987 square enix had too many drugs after 10

  • Have always hated cheesy romantic shit but I sincereley shed a tear. Alas....the days of games like this are long gone. Never will there be this much power in rpg storylines.

  • To FF7 & FF8 fans: "No cloud, no squall shall hinder us!"

    ... yours truly, FF9 fans

    "... I pray instead to the twin moons!" - reference to FF4

  • Still my favorate ff. This is what modern rpgs are missing. A solid storyline and one hell of a ending

  • How could she no recognize his voice? Oh, yeah - text bubbles.

  • incredible,incredible,incredib­le, the best rpg on the ps1 bare none,if only my ps1 was still working uptil now i would have rushed to my tv and played it, a product of rare and exceptional quality in gaming ,even now in 2011 or 40 years onwards, final fantasy 9 will always be ranked as one of the best games ever created, a work of a true visionary,ps3, xbox360 and every other ff can kiss my ass

  • @zizo847 they have it available for purchase on PSN if you lost your discs or your ps1 got messed up.

  • Im glad beatrix didnt leave she was pretty cool and who knew Amarant had a soft spot?..the only bad thing about this game was it had to end.

  • OH MY GOD, I was so depressed until it turned out he was alive. Fuuuuuuuuck depressing endings, why do you get to me?!

  • I got so attached to the characters , having played this game again and again since 10 years, that i feel like a total nerd. xD But I don't even care, this FF is better to me than any movie ever made!

  • Lol., @5:04 "No cloud, no squall..."

  • 9 and 10 are the best for me at the mo but I'm yet to play 7 and 8 cause I was only a tiny little girl whose sister wouldn't her play just watch

  • "No cloud, no squall shall hinder us!" :)

  • Dagger: It's so great to have you back Zidane!

    Zidane: Hey. Where's Vivi?

    Dagger: ............

  • This needs a redub to the ps3 as does FF VI (English numbering)! But this one first, Terra's story has always been better preserved in unaltered 16 bit

  • This game's ending always gets to me. Every. Time. lol

    I just really hated to see it end and to be honest, it's Dagger that, to me, made the game what it was. I just loved her character.

    And if that's Vivi talking at the end, which I assume it is, that adds a bit of a sad twist to the ending.

  • @amarillo315 it was...he dies thats why he has sons

  • "no CLOUD, no SQUALL shall hinder us.."

    Yet, the best ending ever.. but are these references to the main character of the previous series of final fantasy or was just a coincidence that the "Hoodie Marcus" said this? Anyway, BEST ENDING EVER! Especially the part where Hoodie Marcus turns out to be.. all well, just watch the ending.

  • awww how sweet im a little bit jealous about zidane&daggers lovey dovey part

  • i wish final fantasy had voice acting none or less its still good

  • damn zidane must be harder than michael jackson in a daycare center

  • MR Uematsu did a great job as always in this game. I think this game has some of his best compositions...Final Fantasy would be nothing without him!

  • You know, I kinda think none of us actually caught the trick squaresoft tried to pull on us, to make us think Zidane died, until the play. I know I just realised this now, after completing it more than 30 times.

  • @fearlessdestiny

    I Just finished playing it for the first time and i caught that the moment he was giving his "death" speech at the end...

  • Crowning moment of heartwarming.

  • this will be the best final fantasy ending ever in history..in my opinion this is way better than vii

  • ....ffffffuuuuuuuuuu....TwT

    First time beating 9, Zidane throws his cloak off and I started cheering as loud as I could. For real. Parents thought I was nuts. It's still the best ending to anything I've ever seen.

  • and what now ? is steiner going to steal the throne ?

  • this ending always makes me cry .. :')

  • 7:10 is the most epic moment throughout FF9

  • @ossiroswarlock couldn't agree with you more

  • I've played FF I through FF XII.

    IX still beats them all without question.

  • I get the fuzzies every time I watch thisss.

  • when I play this the first time, I was shocked to see zidane

  • The way he just throws off the cloak, saying 'bring my beloved Dagger to me' is one of those moments which makes me grin like a stupid idiot and I love it! <3 Simply awesome!

  • I played all from FF7 to FFXIII, but this one left on my mind more than the others

  • As far as I know, this is the only thing that can make me cry :')

  • name of the song is memories of life

  • I love this game even to this day. Video games are not what they used to be.

  • 8:41 to 8:55 is the best. hes just like "Hey". Shes like "Why didnt you come back sooner". hes like "its ok im here now". best game ever.

  • i kinda hate romance, still, this game was awesome.

    My favorite is still FF IV

  • "no cloud, no squall shall hinder us!"

    You know what that says to me (other than" AWESOMEAND TOTALLY HIP PUNS")?

    it says that even the developers knew that ff9 was the best. and that is saying a LOT considering the pure glory of ff6, 7, and 10.

  • 8:20

    oh dagger. its just a STUPID stone. GO, run to him <3

  • I havent played this in so long but why iss there more then ONE VIVI because you only need one Vivi to kick a Creatures Ass

  • steiner wears more make-up than beatrix, yo.

  • How many girls out there would not only LOVE but DIE of embarrassment if a guy did that?! God! I would kill to see my boyfriend do something that romantic! (Though I still love him just as he is ^_^) Despite how cliched or chessy these things are, they really are the most romantic. I loved Zidane's character. From the beginning we knew their relationship would be unique and I think FF9 and FF8 had the best romantic endings. (though it IS agreed that Squall shouldn't smile, it was still great!)

  • Fuck the haters.

    Best damn game of all time...and probably one of the most romantically driven.

    And the soundrack is amazing...Long life Final Fantasy 9! <3

  • @Robikku

    i thought ff8 was more romantically driven especially at the end but i do love ff9

  • @Robikku All hail FFIX. best game of all time... Love your comment

  • @FF9fanatic Exactly! FF9 is also my favorite game of all time :)

  • Comment removed

  • That period between 7:10 and 8:37... was Zidane kinda just... standing there? haha

  • the best game with the best ending!!!! <3

  • @hanskong Amen

  • I just sobbed like a baby. That was just pure brilliance.

  • I love this game's ending... Best video game ending of all time. I also love the plethora of bonuses they threw into it, especially the Coca Cola commercial that aired back when this was released. Those were the days... You could actually do things without a crapload of copyright laws, and other crap blocking the way. I'd find it interesting to see another game commercial that was about something else. Hehe, I can't really see a FF XIII Coca Cola commercial though...

  • 6:56

    "As the sun lends me no ear, I pray instead to the twin moons!

    I beseech thee, wondrous moonlight, grant me my only wish!

    ...

    Bring my beloved Dagger to me!"

    I always LOVED this part... It sent shivers down my spine and I even cried.

  • @Nekoyuki

    Me. To.

  • @Nekoyuki to me, it still does ;)

  • @ArkBlanc XD, I know it's in past-tense, but it always has the same effect.

  • @Nekoyuki yeah xD

  • @Nekoyuki Know how ya feel, just beat the game again...still can't believe how well written it was...Zidane, sir, you are smooth as an egg.

  • @Graptor91 No he is smoother than an egg man\

  • @Nekoyuki OMG, so did I!!! I don't care what anyone says, 9 was the best of the final fantasies as far as I'm concerned!

  • @Nekoyuki

    OMFG me too! The entire ending was very emotional, but that one part was especially so.

  • if you guys played final fantasy 7 and 8 the 2 guys that you played were cloud, and squall, whatch half way through to the play were the girl and the caped guy are in the girl says " no cloud, nor squall shall hinder us" ring a bell the main characters in 7 and 8 that was a good call i found maybe its a easter egg or something you guys think so....

  • everyone in the crowd was probably like: wtf is this shit?

  • @FFXGuitar Haha wow I just went from crying, to excitement, to laughing my ass off and waking my roommate up.

  • This game is so sick. imo this is the best final fantasy and the new one (13) is probaly the worst.

  • I never really cry in sad movies or anything, but I've never been able to watch past (about 8:40 in this video) without my eyes just welling up.

  • i only had the short ending so for me i thought zidane was dead. when he reavelied himself it made me have a heart attack and cry. but if you think this game is good try ff 10. the ending so sad in ffX

  • 8:37 so she's wearing white... haha

  • that actually makes me feel like im gonna cry lol

  • If Zidane is to marry Garnet, he shall be the king!

    Your Royal Majesty, King Zidane :3

  • Fact, longest ending ever!

  • I'm baffled at how Modern Warfare And Halo are like the only 2 games most teenagers like me play. It's games and endings like this that make me realize how fucking lucky i am to have discovered RPG's God Bless Square Enix For Making this absoulute gem of a game. And God Bless you 7503 for uploading this

  • @ozzylifeson too bad the game is made by squaresoft, game developement under squaresoft was great, game developement under enix was great, game developement under squaresoft and enix together was great, but square enix is nothing compared to the old times

  • @ozzylifeson amen

  • When it makes a 20+ year old coldhearted bastard cry, it MUST be a masterpiece.

  • no CLOUD, no SQUALL shall hinder us.

    peewned.xD square enix is way too self referential these days

  • I wonder how long Zidane was gone... Dagger's hair grew back...

  • Four people actually disliked this!?

    What were they smoking and where can I get some?

    But seriously, all final fantasy games are good (aside from X-2) but this game is by far the best.

    It was decidedly so when Zidane threw that cloak he was wearing. :)

  • was i the only who shit bricks when zidane came out of the cloak?? for some reason when i first played this game i had no idea zidane was going to appear like that!!

  • @smsweetiepie07 Nah, me too, and I'm glad I did! lol

  • Perfect harmony of happy (love stories) and sad (Vivi's death).

    People skeptical about Vivi having kids: It's just symbolic. The idea is that he thinks life is worthwhile, even if they'll only live for about a year or so. The details don't matter. A truly sad ending would be if he didn't think life was worthwhile.

    Reason the ending is perfect? Not one line of dialogue and we are told everything we could ever wish to know. Best FF ending, no, best ending to any videogame I've ever played.

  • @JamesJBehan I would like to know more about Amarant's back story but you're correct. They left no loose ends when this ending was made.

  • F7 & F9 are my personal favs simply because the storys almost serve as paradoxes to each other F9 is a classic love story with zidane a lively theif skirt chaser , F7 is a classic drama with cloud a withdrawn lawmen f7s conclusion is not as powerful but its over all theme is that of a classic modern drama like Great Expectations As F9 is the classic boy gets girl in the end which is repetitive but some what still captivating

  • Blank is my favorite minor character. I rank him higher than my favorite major character.

  • @goruu very true

  • "I beseech thee, wondrous moonlight, grant me my only wish. Bring my beloved Dagger to me!" Wao... *_*

  • Shame they don't make FF games like this anymore

  • i cry everytime is see, "everyone...thank you. farewell."

  • 5:04 Yeah, he said it, so all you Final Fantasy VII and VIII Fanboys, he said "No cloud, no squall shall hinder us!" So get the hell out!

    Damn, Malus9804, I just beat it last night and saw that too... This game is underrated, do not speak of the double emoes... Back to the drama, bye guys! *Everyone sees their wallets missing and then they are given to other people* "You don't need a reason to help people." Says the thief who swiped wallets and gave them to others...

  • loved this game and the side quests. always + in my book with lotsa sides. :p

  • 7:12 = most studly move ever pulled in a FF game.

  • Holyshizzels, is there a tear at 8:40 - 8:45?

  • "My memories will be part of the sky..." That really got the water works going for me man....

  • named if this song is melody of life

  • Shoulda seen how hard I cried when I first finished this game...

    *This* is the reason FF9 is the best.

  • Comment removed

  • Is this the ending possessing Cinna's Hammer or not?

  • 5:05 - A jab at VII and VIII perhaps? ;)

  • This has to be the best ff ending ever made and one of the best ff games in history!! If u don't like this game then fuck you.

  • I actully think that all the monologues were all Garnet/Dagger. This may sound a little crazy, but my theory is that because Zidane was considered dead, Dagger was depressed, so when she says "My Memories will be part of the sky." that to me seemed like she was going to kill herself. But because he came back, she didnt XP

  • so square enix made a tech demo for FF7 on the ps3. screw that. do FF9

  • @arcadiasneos you can buy the whole game of FF9 on the ps3, along with 7 and 8

  • I can't think of a more magical ending to a game, or a movie, nor a book. The music, setting, angle, dialog, everything. This is the closest the world will have to creating magic. =]

  • Omigosh thx u soooo much for putting the play scene too instead of just the end movie

  • How much time do you think had past before he came back?

  • one of the greatest stories ever

  • hands down, best ending in FF...for me, this game's a toss up with FF7. both are great

  • I remember when I first saw this part. With Vivi's (supposed) last words. I stood up from my seat, lifted my arms up into the air and just yelled out, "VIVI NOOOOOOOOOO". Accept I actually named him "Josh", Why you ask? I always name the short little black mage characters after my best friend. He's short and into wizard stuff (trust me it makes sense). So in actuality I really stood up and yelled "JOSH NOOOOOOOO." And since Josh was with me at the time people were very confused.

  • ive always said this was the better game over 7 though most people disagree because cloud is kickass.none of the other games had such an indepth love story mixed in.this game is simply beautiful all the way through.the zidane/garnet relationship i think we can all somewhat see in ourselves.how two totally differant lifestyles and people(zidane a thief and garnet a princess) overcome social boundaries and end up falling in love.not only that,being together. like i said earlier,simply beautiful

  • @justinxemo ps. not only are the cloud and references,in memoria you can see the buster sword and the first visit to lindblum in the weapons store the shop keeper says to to someone a spikey blond guy came in and bought a huge sword(something to that effect anyway)

  • This is still probably the best FF endings in the entire series. The build-up, the delivery, it's perfect. After so many years I still weep everytime I see this. Yeah call me a softie :)

  • ....I fucking love this game. So damn much.

    That is all.

  • My alltime fave final fantasy its even better than ff7 I think. I keep watching this one scene over and over again cause it is the best scene of all. Had to borrow the game off my bro to play all again because the game is so good x The best scene ever!!!!!!

  • "She told me she could not live without me... So, the sun is our enemy too it seems. The eastern sky grows bright. Will we not spread our wings as yonder birds in joyous flight?"

    one of my favorite endings

    one word: Perfection.

  • Anyone know the name of the song that starts at 3:53 and its counter part the one that starts at 5:56? plz i really wanna know. Oh and great game one of my personal favs. Highly underrated because of the success of VII and VIII

  • @matser08

    The name of the song at 3:53 is Star Crossed Lover and/or Bittersweet Romance

  • Thanks for the reply. btw i made a mistake i meant the song that starts at 6:21 i have heard it in many other final fantasies and it is one of my favorites

  • ahaha. omg. i beat this game so many times and i just realized the Cloud and Squall thing. XD thats pretty funny. FYI. my favorite final fantasy ever. love the story. from beginning when Zidane was pretty much nothing to Dagger, and now they are together. thats just freakin awesome to me.

  • 5:03 "No Cloud no Squall shall hinder us!" XD OMG I did not notice that before!!

  • hahaha i love. i just KNOW that if this had sound and talking she would hvae been saying "you idiot why'd you LEAVE me!" when she was smacking him on the chest lol, also she gave up that crystal and her crown, does that mean she

    s gonna give up her throne to be with him or something?

  • of course not its just the way garnet shows how important zidane is... zidane is more important for her than her crown and crystal and even her royalty and that what makes the ending so sweet!! just question did vivi died?? is he the one talking and saying farewell? i dont get it lol XD

    i think mikoto is the one that find zidane and know he is still alive since she can feel his presence

  • @joriscel vivi didnt die, he was the prototype and it says in game around his village scenes he wont "sleep" like all the others. after the tree he rescued the remaining dolls.

  • @justinxemo oh i didnt get it because in the ending the vivis said they are all vivi's son and vivi didnt seem to talk in the last scene... and what you mean is stop not sleep.. vivi live longer but just like zidane there life is like a normal human being life span so they are the special type too

  • I think you musn't overanalyze details like this, in both games and movies. That garnet leaves the crystal behind and throws away the crown is only sybolic and shall show, that he is more important to her, than anything else (as joriscel already said). It's only a short cutscene, no dialogue , so the visuals have express and "tell" as much as possible in as little time as possible. The important thing is the message.

  • what is the name of the song, pleaseee tell me that!!!!

  • Song of memories =D

  • Melodies of Life - Shiratori Emiko

  • Vivi himself does not appear in the epilogue cutscenes. Instead, five other black mages who look exactly like him appear at the celebration in Alexandria, one of whom identifies himself to Puck as "Vivi's son", suggesting he did eventually "stop"

  • Brings a tear to my eyes :')

  • i cried.

  • Zidane sure knows how to make an entrance.

    Beautiful ending.

  • A truley wonderful game. Probably my favorite of all time best ending ever and definatly best Final Fantasy.

  • "No Cloud, no Squall shall hinder us!" xD

    I remember reading somewhere that that was a reference to FFVII and FFVIII.

    7:06 was really unexpected! Go Zidane! xD

  • It probably is! Since FFVII and FFVIII is a little overrated, they probably put those in there.

  • FF8 is totally anything and everything but overrated. XD

  • Your probably right, but out of all the Final Fantasies between VII and X, IX is the most underrated.

  • yea it is lol cuz the main character for ff7 is cloud and the main guy for ff8 is Squall lol i never noticed that until now lol thanks!

  • Thanks for posting this!  My favorite ending to a game, and easily my favorite FF. Much appreciated!

  • It brings back memories... Marvelous ;-)

  • did everyone notice the Cloud and Squall reference Marcus made? O_O

  • BEST ENDING EVER FOR FINAL FANTASY GAMES. (teardrops) ;O

  • probabkly second best ending check out ffx end its better....i think this is second best then its probably ff7

  • yea...

    no

  • Oh jesus.....

    There's a thousand words I can say for this Final Fantasy and each one basically says, "great game". Breathtaking graphics for Playstation (comparison to FF7), and comparing to FF8, this romance is more.... nostalgic and sweet. I am a guy and i still miss playing this game. I hope I have the will to beat FF9 again, but in time being ff9 ftw

  • i always cry when i beat this game cuz of Vivi's monolgue.....oh vivi, why did you "stop" like all black mages do?

  • best ending to a video game ever.

    crisis core a close second, but god dang

  • i hink second best first i think is ffx then this then ff7....check out ffx though

  • My FAVORITE FF game ever, and also my favorite pair (:

    This ending was beautiful and it always makes me cry when Zidane reveals himself and asks for Garnet to meet him ~<3

    No FF game will Ever replace this one in my heart!

  • @FadedBlackHalo Yeah i was surprised when Zidane reveal himself to Dagger,and then this movie shows,wow this definitely the best ending ever i have seen in FF series.

  • @FadedBlackHalo Goddamn right mate!Absolutely right!!

  • @FadedBlackHalo I'm so agree, same as me :)
