Lmao FFIX is so great that this article couldn't bring itself to trash something within the game like you being forced to use Trance when the mere reaches max, but rather it focused on a strategy guide for the game itself.

I am entertained.

One thing that I HATE about ff9 that I forever hold against it (but was corrected in the remaster) is the 30 seconds you have to wait before every battle begins while the camera pans around the map.

It didn't happen in ff7 or ff8; battles began right away there. There's 30 seconds of waiting before every battle begins!

Pozzle3543d ago (Edited 3543d ago )

Not sure why you're being downvoted for this. Maybe people just haven't played FFIX for a while, so they don't remember how slow the battle intro was? Because, yeah, it really was a bit unnecessary to introduce the same battle area EVERY time you encounter an enemy.

Final Fantasy 9 is a masterpiece and one of the greatest games ever made.

MoveTheGlow3545d ago

Ha! This is amazing - a good commentary on the game since all he had an issue with was the strategy guide. PlayOnline really was a joke, and I always looked through those guides at the store before buying one at that point, since so many of them had useless, surface-level info.

BatofWar3545d ago

Glad you enjoyed it. PlayOnline made that the last Final Fantasy guide I ever bought.

I never got to fall in love with this game :/
It's one of my least favorite FF titles.

-Gespenst-3545d ago

I think it was the character designs that bothered me - just kind of ugly. Great game otherwise though.

BatofWar3545d ago

Agreed. I liked the graphic direction they took with VIII and thought this looked too childish, but once I got past that it became one of my favorite FFs.

Miraak82 3545d ago

Ya it's the same with TLoZ- Wind Waker ... Thought it was too cartoony and a step back from previous zelda games but turned out to be my favorite zelda game .. FF 9 is in my top FF's .. just a fun wholesome game that doesn't take it self too seriously but still has serious context to enjoy . I liked the art direction it gave the characters unique personalities and world

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.

gold_drake135d ago

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.
