Paul uses JRPG July to share his thoughts and feelings on one of his favourite games of all time, the beloved PSX classic Final Fantasy IX.
The Black Mages' Legacy, the FFIX animated series set to release in 2028, has officially moved to "In Production" at EuroVisual Studios.
Get ready to hear the FFIX soundtrack like never before when the FINAL FANTASY IX - House Grooves album drops in March 2026.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The tracklist for the Midnight Jazz: FINAL FANTASY IX album and more merchandise have been revealed as part of the FFIX 25th anniversary.
"the game had the medieval Final Fantasy VI style"
Well FFVI was a lot more steampunk than medieval with its second industrial revolution setting. In fact it laid the groundwork that FFVII & FVIII would follow. It's more accurate to say FFIX's medieval style called back to FFI-FFV's style.
"the most refined version of Final Fantasy’s turn-based combat"
"it’s the highest point of the franchise’s turn-based combat approach"
FFX-2 undoubtedly has the best incarnation of the ATB in the entire series.
"Final Fantasy IX was a game lost to many due to it releasing in a period of transition between the PS1 and PS2."
It wasn't that overlooked, far from it. FFIX still stands as one of the highest selling PS1 games. The 15th best selling game on that platform to be exact.

One of the best games ever made
really hope Final Fantasy 16 is medieval fantasy style like this
I think this is what FFXVI needs in my opinion after past games having a more realistic, modern day vibe with tame fantasy elements we need to go back to medieval and proper full on fantasy elements.
Do another realistic, modern day or Sci-Fi Final Fantasy game and it's going to feel samey.
No final fantasy deserves an HD remake more. Maybe FF3/6 but even personally I could not say I really like one more than the other lol.
