Final Fantasy IX – Throwback Thursday

TDGS writes: It’s not uncommon for people to speak about songs, movies or books that have changed their life. Not many people mention a video game, at least not seriously, when referencing media that had such a profound impact on them that it altered the way they thought or saw the world afterwards.

Perhaps because video games are still just being accepted as a regular and normal hobby for adults. Many people still associate video games as something boys play as kids even though the average gamer is 30 with 47% being female. The average age of the frequent game buyer is 35. This is according to a google search which pulled data from a study done by G4TV.

I mention all that because I view video games the same way I view any media and just like TV, Movies and Music they too can reach out a captivate someone in a meaningful way. Today I am going to talk about my experience back in the early 2000s when I finally played through Final Fantasy IX.

Never played...waiting for the Remake.

Ravenheartzero3956d ago

My favourite game of all time. Classic.

SuperLupe3956d ago

Same here. Marked me for life.

Epicor3956d ago

Same here as well. Characters, music, locations, mini games, story. All these combined created the most engaging game with the true final fantasy feel in it. For me this single game represents what final fantasy is all about. It's sad that the newer games in the series have lost the magic (ffx had it moments, ffxii was utterly aweful and xiii wasn't any better).

Real shame this game released near the end of the PS1 cycle. Didn't get all the attention it deserved.

The definitive entry in the modern series.

FF9 remake announcement soon?

Redgrave136d ago

We'll probably get the FFIX Dildo Collection announcement before that

Eonjay135d ago

Square Enix is a cautionary tale. The have some of the oldest fanbases out there a instead of giving them what they asked for, the strung them along so hard that they no longer sale what they once did because their audience is literally dying off. And even when they finally got around to doing FF7 you can feel that while good, the game is lacking the polish it deserves. It is can be clunky, slow, and fights you for no reason with layers of artificial difficulty masquerading as challenge.

im sure a Vivi Model would be very popular. ha

andy85136d ago

They're just trolling at this point

gold_drake135d ago

we'll get anything but the game announcement

i wonder if they had to delay the game internally and all the other unnecessary dtuff they did had stiff deadlines.

not an excuse, Square is terrible with their own damn deadlines.

MayorPauline135d ago

The FF9 remake was part of the Nvidia leak many moons ago. Not sure what happened since then but Square seems to excel at mucking things up.

Elda135d ago (Edited 135d ago )

I'm an avid House Head especially the genres of Tech,NY Hard,Tribal, Deep & Progressive House including the now sound of Techno with 125 to 132 BPM. I'm very curious to how this sounds.
