I really like a lot of the other FF games, IV is my all time favorite due to its characters and story. However I can't help but to think/feel that IX is pound for pound the best FF ever.
It really felt like the end of an era after it came out. No other FF pulled me so far into its world. From the breathtaking opening to the tear filled ending (melodies of life) the game is just an absolute pleasure to play. I literally talked to every NPC. I really liked the male red mage wondering around. Each character had so much personality and depth. Zidane is such an awesome lead. He's not an emo angsty complainer.
Each town was filled with such creatively beautiful scenery, all the NPC's were interesting. IX easily has the coolest stages/backgrounds or whatever you call them.
If any game deserves a sequel it's this one. Such a beautiful and engaging adventure.
the only player character I disliked is Quina. S/he was annoying and a waste. I never used him/her when I had the ability to choose party members.
i read somewhere this was the lowest selling PS1 FF game. The only reason I can think of is as the reason is the art style. Maybe to cartoony and child like? I don't know. FF7 was cartoony looking but had that cool anime look to it. Maybe IX took the super deformed cartoony look too far?
I honestly feel this game does not get the credit it deserves. This is not my fav FF but in my opinion it's the highest quality/most enjoyable FF ever.
Basically what I'm saying is I feel this is the best FF ever.
