I think to understand any final fantasy, you'd have to put yourself into the main characters perspective on things.. Some of the older games before 6 lacked heart to the game or the emotional outputs. But through and through, i'm a final fantasy fan and the games were just enjoyable for me, i'll probably be playing them till i'm 80 (Which is another 60 years. lol)
@acommodore I agree with you. In my personal opinion, all of the heroes have their own appeal and touch on different facets of the human personality. They're like different colors of the spectrum; some are similar, but they are all different shades in themselves. Each hero has his own story to understand, and thus, his own frame of mind.
As it is, I think Zidane and Tidus are pretty laid back compared to the others and it's a breath of fresh air but that doesn't mean that the other games weren't good.
Squall has obvious emotional and social issues from being abandoned and an orphen...and he basically was raised in a military school and forced to lead when all he wanted was to be left alone.
So both characters had every right to be emo. Not every final fantasy character will be all happy and that's what makes Zidane special but that doesn't mean Squall or Cloud aren't cool characters.
Cloud was what? Had to watch as the person he looked up to murdered people in his hometown including his mother? Was experimented on for what, five years and had to watch his bestfriend die protecting him? Was forced to lead a group to save the world? Sorry, but I think he has every right to be a bit upset.
I see quite a few of you guys insulting FF 7 and 8 because you think the lead characters are emo...and really....how can ya'll say that? Like every single character is supposed to be nothing but rainbows and sunshine....I don't believe in that.
this final fantasy was great! it really redeemed the series after those overrated and crappy FF games. this and the super nintendo FF titles were the best in the series. PERIOD
you know even though there is a ps3 and ps2 this game is still the most addidictive game ive ever played i get stuck on levels i just go back and get higher levels then i had b4 and i never get tired of this game
@the0edge0master ff9 is already on psn however the card game being online isnt but thats a cool idea. infact all the psx ff games are on psn except anthology and chronicles at the moment. i bet they will get added though.
They should've shown the other four things of Dagger "someday I will be queen but I will always be myself." Freya "To be forgotten is worse than death." Eiko "I don't wanna be alone anymore." and Amarant "The only certainy in life is change."(I'm not sure if that's Amaran's EXACT quote)
I´m sure though that square will be able to do another Final Fantasy that will be just as amazing as the old ones. I put my hope in Final fantasy VI : )
@Oathkeeper109 If you're looking for a FF game that is even more of a throwback than FF9 was, then look no futher than FF: 4 Heroes of Light for the Nintendo DS.
@EyeS2pify Thanks. I actually got it as a Christmas present and I think it´s a really good game. Not as good a nine in my opinion, but still great. : )
Final fantasy IX is the best! FFX and FFVI are my other favorites but FFIX is just the best! The characters are perfect and funny, the world and all the places are awesome, the music is great (I´ll never forget when I first heard "You´re not alone"), the story Is amazing. And I really love how all the characters learn who they are along the story! I was really disappointed in FFXIII. It started okay but the story somehow broke apart.... And I didn't like XII either... : (
what these kids dont relize is that this is the best final fatasy in recent memory. it didnt have an emo lead or use super attractive girls to sell their games. this game was the CLOSEST thing to final fantasy than any other game in the ps1-ps2-ps3 era.
@trago1337 Logged on for first time in 2 years just to comment this.
So fucking true. This is by miles the best Final Fantasy game, the story is flawless and the characters are so extremly perfect in all kind of ways (With exception of Quina!)
@Wiccoz six was better. i didn't like the characters, especially zidane. who wants to play as a weird monkey/person hybrid with a tail? and the "romance" with the princess was... just... eww...
@trago1337 final fantasy 9 was surley a master piece. My first Final Fantasy was 8 than i played 9, 10 and 7 and 12. Final Fantasy 10 was the best followed by 9 and 8.
@EliroX904 Sorry, bro. You just outed yourself as someone who has never played VII. And Squall was more of the "I don't give a fuck" type than the "I'm going to cut myself" type.
@MrSparkle07 I HAVE played VII actually. And for 8 I guess Squall wasn't that emo, but seriously there are people who don't like VII and have played it.
@EliroX904 There wasn't really a moment in VII at all where Cloud was "emo". He was either in his Zack's SOLDIER persona, suffering from a silent wheelchair-bound mental meltdown, or telling everyone "Let's mosey!"
@trago1337 My main complaint about PS2 - PS3 in general - all those great series jumped the shark, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear
@trago1337 Exactly. All these cloud fan boys who only played 7 and 8 didnt have a clue and sulked because final fantasy 9 wasnt emo enough.
FF9 was a true fantasy. It was a fantastic change of setting and styles. Everything about the game was majestic and Zidane was not a protaganist who felt sorry for himself. He was positive and such a likeable character. Vivi was one of the greatest characters in gaming history too.
@josevanreyes In all gaming history, Vivi is the only Final Fantasy Character to appear in more than 2 original (not including spinoff *coughFFX2cough*) Final fantasy games.
And the best part was that it did its job. It whisked you to a world of magic, swords and mystery. Easily one of the best, if not the best final fantasy.There's good reason Sakaguchi loved this game.
