    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.

    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.

    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.

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

And i have played them all. Seriously, why this game is so underrated i will never understand. It has the best production values on the PS1, it was marvelous for its time. The story is nice, sure it is somewhat childish and a fairytale, but it is charming and fun. Gameplay is the typical jrpg, but is decent and won't bother you much. It doesn't require grinding to advance, unless you want to 100% this, which is a waste of time anyway.

    The music is among the best video game music of all time. The soundtrack will remain in your head.

    It is old and quite obsolete by modern standards, but if you can stomach PS1 era games, and you somehow missed it, give it a try. They don't make them like this anymore.    … Full Review »
