fuck love FF9 no contest best game ever IMO

Final Fantasy IX Thread.

This was the first Final Fantasy game I played as a child. My mother bought it for me randomly. Upon playing it for a few minutes; I was heavily immersed. You seem to meet each character at the perfect times to grow accustomed to them. Zidane; a thief. Steiner; a blindly loyal soldier. Vivi; a child, and so on. I feel no bond to any other characters as I do this set. The rate in which they grow in front of your very eyes is astounding for an early game.

The music in this game sits apart from the other games to me. The simple acoustic theme of Dali captivates me. I find myself yearning to listen to it. Esto Gaza is my personal favorite.

The game has a fair amount of secret content. I thoroughly enjoy the Chocobo Hot and Cold mini games, as well as finding the Chocographs across the continents. I take enough of a break each time in between playing that it still remains a challenge to find them all.

While all games have their flaws, IX certainly has some to. The trance system is horrid. Some plot lines seem to fade away. For example, what becomes of Freya and Fratley. Or of Amarant.

Nonetheless, It is my favorite game of all I have played. I wanted to ask you guys what your favorite moments, adventures, characters, experiences, or even dislikes were. Cheers.
