It's just although it was a brilliant game it spent a lot of time doing "nostaliga" moments was it origanally going to be the last FF game so square got all nostaligic and "Ripped off" the old games in places?

I personally think that FF9 had a lot of nostalgic moments because the previous Final Fantasies strayed away from their roots and went for a very futuristic theme.
Since a lot of fans started from 7/8, perhaps SS wanted to let them know about the past ff's. *shrug*
FF9 was a tribute to the old school FFs
IX was the last for the PS1 so they wanted to go out with a bang by doing tributes to the games before it, 'I' through to 'VIII'.
Except FFIII :)Quote:

Actually, X was a squaresoft release. Squaresoft became Square Enix shortly after. But it was the last PS1 release, and one of the best, and also the first FF I ever played that got me into the series.Quote:

I see.
Yeah that and the music from FFIII you can get to play on the gramaphone at the inn in the Black Mage Village. Or at least I think it was FFIII's, correct me if i'm wrong.Quote:

I think I read somehwere that the music from the Gulug Mountain is from FFIII, or some sort of adaption of it. Then again, maybe I read it wrong and it was a different Final Fantasy game it was from.
The Mt. Gulug/Gurg/Gurgu music in FFIX is taken from the Gulug/Gurg/Gurgu Volcano music in FFI.
