Final Fantasy IX (PlayStation)

Description
Ninth installment in the long-running roleplaying series and the third for the Sony PlayStation. The game signals a brief return to some of the visual designs, gameplay elements and overall spirit of the 16-bit Final Fantasy games of the '90s. Monster encounters happen randomly, battles are turn-based, and the system of ability development follows the same line of descent from FFVI as the other PlayStation FFs. In this case, you acquire abilities from the items you equip, attaching those abilities to your character by way of a set of Blue Crystal slots, which you gain as you increase in level, and eventually getting to keep those abilities independently of the associated equipment. Character design by Yoshitaka Amano.

      This installment of Final Fantasy hearkens back to the original idea behind the series: High Fantasy. The story is very well done, the game play is smooth and there are plenty of side quests and mini games that break up the monotony that is found in many RPGs. For those of you who remember the Sierra games and have the complex associated with playing them (Having to pick up everything and save it) this game will continue that derangement as there is plenty of treasure hunting and hoarding to be had. If you are a fan of High Fantasy and like a good, long, in depth RPG, then this is the game for you.

      If you liked any of the Final Fantasy, this is another home run hit. Rather than copy and paste you information, just know that this is another beautiful complex story style RPG game with great CGI and 60+ hours of game play. The interesting thing is they went in the direction of making the characters look more cartoonish (like Nintendo). Great game if you can get past that.

      Pros:
      1) Great Story
      2) Self Contained finish to the story (sorta unless you plan on playing FFX-2)
      3) Beautiful CGI

      Cons:
      1) Long hours to power up player
      2) Much easier to beat than VIII. I suggest you get a guide if you want to spend less time and enjoy the story of the game.
