    Final Fantasy IX is a must play entry in the RPG genre, and this new version is the best way to experience the magic of the best PS1 Final Fantasy game.

    A brilliant remastering of a PlayStation classic. While Square Enix could have gone further with the remastering you are still treated to an amazing story, a brilliant cast of characters in a beautiful world ready to be explored and loved by all.

    After 16 long years, PC gamers can finally play one of the greatest RPGs of all time. Final Fantasy IX may not have next gen graphics or high quality sound, but it does give the player a great story to follow with unforgettable characters.

    Final Fantasy IX for PC is surprisingly well done for a sixteen year old port.

    At the end of the day, Final Fantasy IX is still a terrific game, and unlike many from its era, its core gameplay and plot have aged admirably.

    After sixteen years Final Fantasy IX finally comes to PC: the conversion is basic, but the core game still remains awesome.

    Final Fantasy IX finally comes to PC after 16 years through an enhanced and remastered edition. This game is an absolute gem and one of the best episodes in the series. If you could not play the original version this is your chance to immerse yourself in one of the most emotional games ever created. We have to say that even if the port is well made, all the background images did not receive any resolution boost, and they appear blurry in comparison to the updated 3D textures.

    The graphic jump compared to 7 and 8 is incredible. More beautiful scenes, characters much better done, with expressions and an absurd charisma.
    I think this game is better than 7 and 8 in all aspects, story, characters, graphics, music, it has many extras also guaranteeing many hours of gameplay and grind.
    The turn system continues, with something similar to the 7 materials, and a greater diversity of summons.
    In this game, what is very interesting is that each character has a unique style of battle and exclusive powers.
    It's worth playing even for those who have never called a final fantasy in their lives!
