Final Fantasy 9--- I wonder who thought that in three months after playing this game, I would be Final Fantasy IX crazy. This game has it all. This movie is what it is---The best game, I mean the best ANYTHING ever! I'm telling the truth here, I thought this game was more emotional than the movie Titanic or any other emotional movie. It just amazes me what 300 people working on a single game can do. Ok, so this game doesn't start out with the most innotave storyline, but it has many twists and turns...here's what to expect: Zidane Tribal, that's the real name, (thats where i got my name from!) is sent out with a band of thieves, Tantalus, to kidnap Princess Garnet Till Alexandros, the heir to the throne of Alexandria. But the thing is, it all goes wrong. First, the Princess wants to go! And Queen Brahne (elephant size), shoots down your getaway ship (Prima Vista) and it crashes in the Evil Forest. From there, many villains and friends arise in imaginative cities, well-planned "dungeons" and just to mention, once a certain villain named Kuja comes into the picture, it all gets serious. Well, not serious, but the laughs do calm a small bit, but this game is still very funny, and serious. You'll be sad, happy, mad, depressed, and brave all in one game! That's what I call a great experience! Story: 10 out of 10
Graphics? Never been better. The Playstation will never see better graphics than Final Fantasy IX since it is a dying console. The graphics are just plain REAL. Even the in-game graphics look very good, while the CG Cinemas are nearly good enough to knock you over! One complaint, and this a very minor one, is that when in airships, the in-game kinda gets just a tad blurrier than if on foot or boat. I don't know why, but it doesn't even scratch the surface of Final Fantasy IX's greatness. Graphics: 10 out of 10
If you wanted the best music in a game, also look no further. Nobuo Uematsu did a wonderful job composing the music in this game, and the song Melodies of Life brought a tear to my eye. Seriously! Once again, a prime example of the best ANYTHING EVER. And even the other songs, especially the "Theme" Songs, are wonderfully done. I believe that if Melodies of Life was on the Top 40, Number One would have to be its position! Music: 10 out of 10 Even the Gameplay is perfect! Great control add the iccing to this cake, and I think the iicing is a gallon of Chocolate! Menus aren't confusing, the batlle system, while a little washed out, still keeps your adrenaline pumping, but this is an RPG, so it may take a while to get used to. Gameplay: 9.5 out of 10
So, this game is the BEST ever, and I hope you've seen my reasons why. So if you'll excuse me, I think I'll go bask in Final Fantasy IX's greatness for a while.
