Product Description
Dark times have spread over the world of Gaia. Four separate governing nations, some blinded by their short-sighted greed, some persevering in the name of justice, are battling on and off in a deadly game for power. One kingdom, that of Lindblum, headed by the honorable and trustworthy Regent Cid, finally decides to take a stand against the unspeakable massacres by the troops of Alexandria.

Enlisting the aid of mere bandits to kidnap Princess Garnet of the Alexandria Empire, for information and interrogation, Garnet and her bodyguard actually join Cid's cause, knowing full well the outlandish recklessness of the governing Queen, who counterattacks with an onslaught of warriors. Thus begins a crossfire that would engulf the world in something far worse than political standoffs.

Out of the band of thieves, one boy along with his entourage must battle his way through several awe-inspiring challenges to restore order and peace.

Also a GREAT GAME! (2009-02-25)
I'll try to keep this short by just saying things that stuck out to me:

1) The story is pretty good. A little familiar to the plots of FF's... oh, 1-5 maybe, but good. There are definitely enough differences.

2) Levelling up isn't that hard, but learning abilities can be a little annoying. You level up by the equipping armor/weapons that teach them. So if you come across, let's say, a more powerful magic wand for your black mage that teaches... let's say Flare but you haven't fully learned Osmose (and these are just examples), you need to keep the first one till you get enough AP to learn it without that weapon. Hopefully that makes sense; I know it's been somewhat of a hindrance to me when I play.

3) The music is definitely good... but I think 8's is better--though I like the regular-fight music more in 9 than in 8.

4) Summoning isn't possible until I think either the tail-end of Disc 1 or the beginning or so of Disc 2.

5) The ending is FANTASTIC. Kinda long though.

Overall, I love this game. It's well worth buying!

it continues (2009-02-22)
I have been a fan of the series and this game just continues with the greatness!

FF!X (2009-02-13)
It is one of my favorite FF's. I have been playing it since the day I got it. Love the story line and the characters. just wish you could use the eidelons sooner. I always love using them. But, still enjoy it, muchly.

TIRED OF HATE REVIEWS (2009-02-09)
NOW LETS JUS GET REAL RITE QUICK...FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS I BEEN ACHING TO PLAY FINAL FANTASY 8 AND 9. I FINALLY GOT TIRED OF ACHING AND ORDERED THESE TWO GAMES TO PLAY SINCE THE LAST TIME I PLAYED THEM ALMOST 10 YEARS AGO...[...].
ALL THE FINAL FANTASY'S ARENT THE SAME AND THEY ARE NOT A CONTINUING STORY WHATSOEVER. THEY ALL BRING THEIR OWN FEEL AND GAMEPLAY STYLES. JUS BECAUSE ITS NOT WHAT U LIKE OR PREFER DOES NOT MEAN ITS A BAD GAME. I PERSONALLY LIKE THE DIVERSE FEELINGS U GET FROM EACH OF DIFFERENT FINAL FANTASY'S U PLAY. I HONESTLY FEEL THAT 7 IS ALOT OVEERRATED TO ME, BUT STILL A HELLUVA FUN GAME. I PREFER 8 AND 9 OVER ANY OTHER FINAL FANTASY GAMES. BOTTOM LINE, INSTEAD OF RANTING ON HOW ITS NOT LIKE 7 OR 1-6, EMBRACE THE DIFFERENT FEEL OF IT, WORK WITH THE DIFFERENT COMBAT AND UPGRADE SYSTEMS. THEY ARE ALL FUN AND GREAT IN THEIR OWN SPECIAL WAYS.

Best in the series (2009-02-01)
Final Fantasy 9 is the best game in the entire series. Granted, its graphic quality isn't as great as 12 and the upcoming 13, but storyline, and just truly feeling pulled into the game, makes this game the best. In its time it was a landmark in quality upgrading! It was my very first video game when I was 6 years old, and continues to be my favorite and most treasured collection.
