now what may or not been known is that FF IX was originally intended to be a sequal to another FF game, but what isnt specified is which one...
so what other FF game could this one followed up to?

o_O I hadn't heard that. But it's most deffinitely not 7 or 8. And hardly 6. Too much industrial-ness in those games. I'd guess 2, 4, or 5. Haven't played much of 2 so I can't really say much on that. And 5 spans more than one world, even though some of it does have to do with crystals I'd have to negate that one too. So my bet is 4, which has a lot to do with crystals. And 9 had not much to do with crystals, except it's look had this crystal theme. The castle had a huge crystal and the crystal was in the logo. So there was a focus on crystals for some reason. But I still can't see it, or any other FF as an actual sequal or prequal to any of the others. (Barring X-2 of course.)
I gues thats just rummor. FFIX is a tribute to the old school games, having many references to them, but I cant imagine it being a sequel.Quote:

No, I can't imagine it being a sequel. It had alot of references to past games, that was the point of it. But if I REALLY had to pick something I'd say 1.
Oh, and Vyk, the Crystal theme in IX becomes aparant towards the end of the game.
(SPOILER)Kuja trys to destroy the Crystal that sustains all existence in the Universe, or something.
I agree, if anyone, definitely Final Fantasy I.Quote:

O.K. FF 9 is full of references from previous games like garland from FF1 or in linblum weopon shop when you look at a sword and it makes a reference of cloud. so basically ff9 is made of previous FF classics.
Who actually (SPOILER)turned out to be the final boss in FF1Quote:

FFIX=FFIV!!!!
Alexandria was a kingdom that attacked other kingdoms -> in ff4 the kingdom where cecil was from attacked other kingdoms
Both games had final bosses that weren´t mentioned anywhere in the game
in both games, the "you-tought-to-be-the-final-boss" was the main characters brother.
Oh! and also, in both games when you go to another planet you meet a lot of relatives
Etc... just look for a thread something like: Isn´t ffix like ff iv (or something like that)
Btw, both games have crystals..
It's a sequel to 8, because 9 comes after 8 DUH!
if so then it is FF2 cos it seems to be about the same from what i hav playedQuote:

In any case, FFIX isn't a direct sequel to any other game, nor was it ever intended to be.
