THIS! This right here was MY Final Fantasy. Forget 7, 8, 10 and everything after it! THIS was the Final Fantasy that I deem the truly best. Every last character had a compelling story (No matter how regretfully short... *cough*freya*cough*), the music was magnificent and the battle system was no nonsense and felt perfectly natural. Hell, I even liked this ones card game, if it it was a pain in the butt to master. Truly, to me, THIS was THE Final Fantasy.
It's a weird state of affairs when just listening to a game's music can cause you physical pain as you miss it so much. Fortunately, I still own FF9. I think it's time again.
I really like how they developed this music and how it rises carefully and slowly. It is so nice.. One of the best Final Fantasy overworld maps.. no, make it one of the best overworld maps in all RPGs!
I did a level 1 - excalibur II challenge on this game once and I remember the hardest part was to actually rush through it like mad since there are so many things to enjoy in this game such as the great atmosphere and soundtrack. Good times, good times.
@oOKffeeOo try the excalibur II perfect game....it's the hardest thing u can do with the game....a guy over at gamefaqs by the name of Atomos199 did a short guide on it
I loved this game so so much, and crossing those hills has strong memories for me, back in the glory days of REAL RPGS, not the one track minded RPGS of today.
This makes a feeling I like to call "new nostalgia", because this song makes me nostalgic in a way that feels like I had played this years and years ago when I was a kid - when in reality, it was only a few years ago.
I can't even count how many times I've played this game over and over again... My FAVORITE Final Fantasy game hands down. Loved the story, music, and characters. This song is actually making me want to play it AGAIN. Must... resist....
I recently replayed this game and even though I died countless times (I was doing a level 1 challenge and the pandemonum at the end of disc 3 can be a real pain if you dont have zidanes "thiefery" skill) it still was as amazaing as when I first played it. This game is just so beautiful and well balanced. I was somewhat surprised that it delivered me the exact same feelings and moments of joy it did when I first played it back in the good ol' days.
This was the gold Era of FF and the RPG genre. Today we only get Generic Shooters.
I really wouldnt mind a 3D Final Fantasy Remake, and yes this game is so underrated, Square should give it more love and not just Work on FFVII, seriously.
FFIX IS THE MOST UNDERRATED FF
FFVII IS THE MOST OVERRATED FF
Both games were good, but my favorite was IX.
Memorable epic Battles. Memorable Music like this one, everything of that is lost nowdays :(
@ShoraiZenta I always had the impression FF5 was the most underrated FF ever...Clash on the Big Bridge,Galuf and Gilgamesh were so cool. Kinda prefer it instead of the other snes ones.
Still loved VII, but kinda played it to death...so glad this came out for PS store - best music, awesome story, true to the legacy of the series. Best song in the game is the Terra theme - make me wish I played the harp
@ZORDBACK i didnt max level on all of my characters but i took time and didn't rush the game... every time i played it, all my characters were atleast level 70 and i would always finish the chocobo hot n cold...
This is the game that I always think "It was okay..." and then I actually play it again, and it's just as enjoyable and engaging as the rest. I think that's what quite a few people feel. It's all about the playing, not the fanboyishness
When i first played this game, im escaped out from Evil forest. then first time i seen world map scene then this song was listened then i just want to listen more. then i just pressed triangle button and listen so much....... i love this music. then i went to ice cavern... i thought i can't listen this theme again... sorry my english ;-)
@Kesvalk but you still have your memory card right? wouldn't it be wiser just to buy a ps2 (about $50 on ebay) and not start completely over on a new save file on an emulator?
oh this brings me back this was my first ff game to play and beat man oh man good times good times you just have to love the world map song thing its fun and great traveling!
Same! this was my very first FF series to play and also my first RPG, after this I played other Square titles and other RPGs there is on the old gray machine (PS1).. How time flies so fast :)
F these new Final Fantasy's. 13 does not even have an overworld... At least in 10 you could pick where you wanted to go, and everything wasn't so limited in scope. That was the thrill of these old games, was it not? They've taken the fantasy out of it, the freedom to explore is gone. I'm playing FF2 for psp and 13 for ps3 right now, and I have to tell you, Final Fantasy II has 13 beat by a long shot.
@theskiesbelowme I totally agree. Square Enix has made a BIG mistake removing the world maps. I really think they should just put them back. I mean I've seen the FF7 World map and its good. Imagine the graphics on the PS2 or PS3.
I think a good message for the fanboys to bring them down to earth is the words of Nobuo Uematsu, the genius himself, who said that though to pick a favourite Final Fantasy soundtrack would be like picking a favourite child and that he loved them all, Final Fantasy IX was his favourite of the lot. I'm with him on this. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Final Fantasy IX were my childhood really.
I think this game was brilliant because it was what Final Fantasy games were supposed to be like. It had a great story, fun battles, amazing cast, incredible music and the world with lots of little touches that you had to seek out to find everything was perfect and captivating. After the first few entries in the FF series they became more steam punkish and it was nice to see a game that touched close to it's roots. Plus the ending was beyond words in it's greatness. Final Fantasy IX Forever!
This was my first Final Fantasy. I was in high school when 7 came out and as friends raved about it I laughed that they sat there and clicked attack and stuck their thumb in their butt. Then FF9 came out... I said why don't I give this a try. From there I bought 7... then every other game in the series and beat them all(except 12). 9 holds a special place in my heart for converting me :)
Alot of people (unfairly) bash this game, saying it is not as good as FF7 and FF8. Well they are wrong. This game was a call back to the pre PSX games, and that is made it so special.
@Cmckerracher I think I was like 12-13 when it came out and I admit, I thought it was going to be weird. Because I was obsessed with FF7 & 8's characters. I thought FF9's were going to be weird. But I ended up loving FF9 more than any other FF game. That still stays true to this day. No FF game has satisfied me as much as FF9 did. FF9 was the only game that made me teary eyed when playing it. The ending scene with Zidane whipping off that cape and showing himself to Garnet was really touching.
This game was amazing and yet so underrated at the same time... I enjoyed this game a lot! The battle system was great, the only problem was that trance happened whenever it was filled and if you didn't pay attention you could waste it on a normal battle instead of a tough boss :P Other than that this game was great. Lots of mini games and tons of great music with an awesome story!
To me, the best melody Uematsu has ever composed. The most beautiful, heartwarming piece of music. When I hear this, I completely imagine myself in a Victorian-style world. I wonder what it was like to live in those days? (And have this music at the same time - mind blown)
@Nazareadain It's even worse when the overworld has a theme as good as this one. "Ah, what lovely, relaxing music. It's a long way to Treno, but at least the music makes the walk enjoyab-" *PSHHHHEEEEEEEWWWWWWWW... dundundundundundun* "God dammit."
@Krahiz Big problem with most of the final fantasies. You get to some doomsday moment and the awesome overworld tune goes away from some horrible by comparison song.
The first time I really played this it was a foggy day in early December but I think the coast and mountains were a lot warmer and sunnier....this theme made me think of climbing above the Mist to enjoy very un-winterlike conditions.
This game was ok for me, was abit of a let down to see Cloud and Squall's sucessor was a kid, hell.. everyone in this game is kids! Still, as usual a brilliant plot, brilliant music and awesome gameplay!
What are you talking about Ziadane, and dagger was only a year younger than Squal. Are you seriously saying that Amarant is a kid too? The only kids in the party was Eiko, and Vivi.
@Dragonkaiser20 It's a flaw with most japanese art I've found. Most characters don't look anything at all like their age. You'd imagine Squall's in his 20s. Reality, teenager? FFIX's cast, looks like 12 year olds. Reality? They're pretty much the same age as every other cast.
this was the best game i ever did play and like u guys all say it they dont make'em like this anymore, and it had a great and sad story line except one prob. i could beat the library part on the 3rd disk and then i had to give it bak to my freind lol.... but if anyone noes how feel free to tell me thx
My favorite of the series. And my favorite music in the game. the game had such a vibe that just felt right it is in my opinion that this is the perfect game. I have played through it at least 7 times and every time its as fun as the first time I ever played
I absolutely loved every moment of Final Fantasy IX, it kind of makes me wish I was 14 again...haha. And this tune made the world map fun, sometimes I would leave the city I was in and run around the map so I could listen to this song
It's a damn shame not more people enjoyed/know FFIX. Such a fantastic game.
The fact that the put the number of the game in gold rather than black, says it all. That and the fact that Sakaguchi himself said this is his favorite FF.
I really hope Square will make another FF as good as this one. I enjoyed X, X-2 and XII but they're just not as good as IX.
@garythetramp Never althoug that game is quite shat on by haters. Its all because of the massiver hype FF7 gets. I quite enjoyed 8 although not even close to as much as I enjoyed 9.
This game is epic and a tribute to any previous FFs:
- FF: the four elemental fiends and the name Garland.
- FF II: the final stage (Pandora)... wich was completely made of crystal.
- FF III: the ultimate airship's name was Invincible.
- FF IV: the alien race sleeping and a guardian (Fusoya) with the task of protecting them.
- FF V: the concept of two worlds merging (the fusion between Tera and Gaia).
- FF VI: the evil ruler wich want to enslave Espers.
- FF VII: the lifestream concept (Lifa)

My favorite of the series. And my favorite music in the game. the game had such a vibe that just felt right it is in my opinion that this is the perfect game. I have played through it at least 7 times and every time its as fun as the first time I ever played

I absolutely loved every moment of Final Fantasy IX, it kind of makes me wish I was 14 again...haha. And this tune made the world map fun, sometimes I would leave the city I was in and run around the map so I could listen to this song

One of the first games I ever played.
The nostalgia is hurting. XD

It's a damn shame not more people enjoyed/know FFIX. Such a fantastic game.
The fact that the put the number of the game in gold rather than black, says it all. That and the fact that Sakaguchi himself said this is his favorite FF.
I really hope Square will make another FF as good as this one. I enjoyed X, X-2 and XII but they're just not as good as IX.

Ah Final Fantasy IX. My favourite RPG of all time.
This song brings back such great notalgia, is that a tear I feel? Jeez, it does make me pretty emotional hearing it, though.
It was my first RPG when I was 8 and I used to play it with my brother. Eheh

This game was easily the most underrated of the series. Zidane was a terribly cool character.

Quite easily the least appreciated of the entire series.

@BurntHighMe Not to mention the last one with an official working world map AND airship that you can fly. Boy have the mighty fallen.

@BurntHighMe i dunno, i'd say VIII is less-appreciated than IX...

@garythetramp Never althoug that game is quite shat on by haters. Its all because of the massiver hype FF7 gets. I quite enjoyed 8 although not even close to as much as I enjoyed 9.

I think this game is underrated. It has a lot of philosophic parts in it and a beautiful soundtrack. ♥

Amazing Game, Amazing Soundtrack, The BEST FF of all.

FF9, its sad to think that most fans of the series consider this a poor entry.
personally i blame FF8 for that. FF9 is an awesome game and the soundtrack was amazing, this song is no exception
