Final Fantasy IX for PlayStation 1

Pros: Great storyline and characters!

Cons: Some blotchy screens, but not many

The Bottom Line: Excellent game, go buy it now!

Review: If you told me a month ago that I would be playing Final Fantasy 9, and actually be liking the game I would have laughed right in your face. I used to hate any RPG. I thought that those games were stupid and pointless. I also thought that they were...

Pros: Unbelievable FMVs, graphics & music score. Superbly done storyline.

Cons: Weakness in combat system.

The Bottom Line: Finally, a PSX game worthy of the Final Fantasy name. That's right, Kupo!

Review: When FF9 hit the stores last October, I remembered seeing at least 2 dozen people, mostly gamer-types in their early 20s forming a queue at the mall, anxious to get their hands on the game they had heard & read so much about. In a move to help...

Pros: Character classes, challenging, excellent music, good graphics, engaging plot

Cons: Confusing card mini-game, a bit short

Review: Note: A copy of this game was provided by Square

Some things drive me nuts more than anything else. One of these things is monkeying with a winning formula. Thus, with the past three Final Fantasy games, I was left with a distinct bad taste...

Pros: Real characters, FMV sequences are better than ever, the essences of all the previous Final Fantasies come together right here.

Cons: Sometimes the enemies seem to be controlled not by a machine but by a (smarter) human being!

Review: I don't think this has ever happened to me before. I'm sitting in front of my video game console, totally absorbed into the game I'm currently playing. I have to go to the bathroom so bad, it hurts to breathe. And the game has gotten so interesting,...

Pros: Classic Final Fantasy Elements, Cool Skill/Magic System, Fun Battle System, Nice Balanced Difficulty

Cons: Some Dull Environments

The Bottom Line: 9 Out of 10 Moogles Recommend Final Fantasy IX.

Review: Ever since the series' premiere on the Playstation console, Final Fantasy has become a huge icon of mainstream video games. With the series' rise of popularity in regions outside of Japan it seemed that Squaresoft began to garner to other markets by...

Pros: Great graphics with character designs by Yoshitaka Amano again, innovative gameplay, a true Final Fantasy setting, mini-games that are actually fun, battles can be difficult

Cons: Longer load time than previous installments, Thorn and Zorn are VERY annoying, Chocobo Hot & Cold is VERY addictive, battles can be difficult

Review: Once upon a time, long before their was a thing such as the 32-Bit era of gaming, the next generation consoles were known as the upcoming Super Nintendo or already released Sega Genesis. Nintendo and its console at the time, the Nintendo...

Pros: Excellent graphics, engrossing storyline, and solid characters make this a winner.

Cons: It's a little too easy overall.

The Bottom Line: Simpy put, if you love the old SNES Final Fantasy games, then this is a must buy. It's pure nostalgia in a CD case.

Review: Author's note: This review is part of a two man meeting of the minds concerning Square's latest entry into the Final Fantasy series. When you're through here, be sure and check out my good friend (and criminally underread Games Advisor)...

Pros: Huge Storyline, Interesting Characters, Funny Cool Villians, Amazing Graphics

Cons: Music Isn't That Great, A Bit Short If Ya Ask Me!

The Bottom Line: FF9 is a great game overall but when it comes down to it, Square could of made it better. But still, an amazing game.

Review: Final Fantasy 9 is basically, Square's landmark game for them this year. It will be their biggest income for the playstation market and it deserves to be so. It's been in development for years only to be released a few days before my birthday,...

Pros: awesome game play, everything besides...

Cons: it's the last Final Fantasy on the Play Station

The Bottom Line: This is what you want if you're new to the series, definetely.

Review: History
When I got my Play Station, along with Final Fantasy VII, I was hooked on RPG?s from then on. I played FFVII day and night and couldn?t seem to stop playing.

Then some time later, Final FantasyVIII came...

Pros: Well-rounded characters, abilities system, Chocobo Hot & Cold.

Cons: Am I playing a video game or a CG movie?

The Bottom Line: I...like this game? I'm still not sure, the world may never know.
