    Shockingly bad. One of the most over rated games in history.

    If you want ugly colours and textures and average music then that's up to you. I don't care about graphics much but OST is quite important for me. However neither is important in this, as a cast of irritating little bastards and a terrible combat system, make this hunk of clunky junk a complete waste of money even in the sale.

Vivi is revered as this amazing character that Square made. Hello Orko from HeMan, direct copy. That god damn irritating tin man and that annoying little rat creature that take the leads got on my **** in minutes. It is unreal the scores this dire excuse for a game gets. I am from before this era, so old style doesn't bother me but this game pisses me off. It's like it was designed by children. 0. Terrible.    … Expand

    J'adore ce jeu mais je mets un 2 à cause des trophées qui ont été crées par des sadiques !
    1000 sauts à la corde (impossible à réaliser sans logiciel) et surtout "héros légendaires" qui consiste à vaincre 10000 ennemis alors qu'en fin de jeu on en a battu environ 1500 pour que tous nos persos soient niveau 99... Je sais pas ce qu'il s'est passé dans la tête des développeurs à ce moment-là    J'adore ce jeu mais je mets un 2 à cause des trophées qui ont été crées par des sadiques !

    Overrated and one of the most boring Final Fantasies I've played. Remember when they tried to make the combat faster with every iteration so that it doesn't feel like a dragged out mess? Nope, it's super slow here.
    Remember the good, simple stories that focused on characters from the old games? Nope, every character here feels like they're playing a role in an opera.

    Does tackle interesting issues? One, yet its so shallow it feels like an insult.
    Does it have good gameplay? Worse than III, V, so why bother.
    Graphics? The chibi style clashes too much with the 3D aspect of it.

    All in all, it's so bad I couldn't get past the halfway mark, and this is coming from someone who has played all the FFs.    … Expand

    It's a bold claim, but Final Fantasy IX is the best PS1 era Final Fantasy, and easily one of the best the series has ever produced. With it being on PS4 and PC, even if you don't want to visit a garage sale or local game shop to grab a PS1, you can now play one of the best RPGs ever created. While it manages to only just fall short of greatness, it does so with a level of grace so memorizing, it's hard to believe sometimes. If you still aren't convinced, just play to the final cutscene. That should convince you just fine.

    Though Final Fantasy IX’s PS4 port lacks the same love and care that was given to the recently released Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, it is still a solid enough re-release, and more importantly another modern source for players to experience this wonderful RPG classic, whether for the first time or the hundredth time. The timeless charm, characterization and content guarantees that this game will be the place you’ll return to someday, now and forever.

    This game feels like a home run after almost two decades. The look may be a bit dated, but the gameplay still holds up, and the story still resonates.
