The game's visual splendor touches even the most ordinary scenes, such as shadows in the street alleys and the mazes of cobblestones. Final Fantasy IX's color palette does a remarkable job in creating interest on every single object, location, and person.
With its awesome graphics, a good story, and random battles that reveal curious bits about each character, Final Fantasy IX is an epic adventure that'll have long-time fans of the acclaimed series beaming with pride and joy. As for everyone else who has yet to experience the Fantasy, now is the time!
Ah yes, Final Fantasy IX. I was highly delighted when I was asked to review this great title. What? I wasnt asked to review? Oh... Well anyway, in my review I will go over the Graphics, Story, Characters, Sound, and Gameplay. So, without further adew, on with the show!
One word: Amazing. Final Fantasy IX has really shown how powerful the playstation is. At every turn there is something so beautiful, your jaw will drop. Kind of like it did when you first entered Esthar in FF VIII. And the FMVs in FFIX are absolutely top quality, some packed with high emotional meanings. A lot of people wondered about the 'kiddie' graphics. In my opinion, excellent idea on Square's half.

As with the other games in the series, Final Fantasy IX has the ability to grab your attention from the time you fire it up until the last boss is put down. Previous entries into the game's lineage took a more dramatic, cinematic route to do what a role-playing game does best--tell a story. That style led to some complaints from headstrong fans and role-playing gamers alike. In response to this, while not sacrificing what new technology they've built into the series, SquareSoft has backtracked a bit. To put it simply, they've gone back to their roots while forging ahead.
