why FFIX is better than FFVII

[ANGRYWOLF]

Others who have read this topic seem to be agreeing with my opinion..
So I don't need to chill...

shrugs...

I haven't replayed FFIX in quite some time. Maybe I should replay it.
If I can get finished with my replay of X-2 I might pick it up again.

I replayed IX more times than i can count and it never gets old. And to be fair, i will replay my final fantasy VII cause i havent played it in god knows how long

well, Angrywolf, happy gaming

I can't I have to be the one to do this because I'm the FFIX fanboy around here, formerly having a schizophrenic gimmick that feature both Zidane and Garnet/Dagger, but I digress and here we go. A commercial for Coca-Cola doesn't instantly make FFIX better than any game. Look into the game to find how superior it is to other FFs. For example, the characters were all put well into the story, the setting is more like what veteran Final Fantasy players expect from an FF, it houses the most realistic romantic subplot in the PS1 era and possibly the entire series. But certainly not due to a Coca-Cola commercial, it doesn't make me want to play FFIX, it makes me want to drink coke.

look at the charecter stitistics (mispelled), in 7 all the chaecters seemed human 9even red XIII, who wasn't) in 9, each individual charecter has he/his own goals and opinions about things, their own agendas, and each one contrasted the other.

steiner wanted to kill zidane (basicly)
steiner how ever did work with zidane to protect garnet.
steiner got along great with vivi, who was great pals with zidane
garnet and zidane had a lot of friction between them, but the still wanted to be near eatch other.
which then puts itself back at the top of this list

i wont add the other four into this mix cause my brain would blow up.....

Ok, so instead of having an unstructured debate between newbies about Coke commercials, lets get the facts together:

Funny joke.

Then by this logic, is FFX better than FFVII too? :o

GOLD coloured title.

Seriously though, but fans who prefer IX over VII may appreciate the return to traditional medieval/feudalistic settings. It pays a lot of tribute to previous FFs, giving a lot fan service to those who looked hard enough. Just off the top of my head, FFV music can be played in Black Mage Village and in Lindblum weapon shop, Zidane makes a passing reference to Cloud.

Kuja is a brilliant villain too. You don't feel much for Sephiroth and his pining for his mother, since a) his mother's a freak and b) not really his mother. But when Kuja goes nuts and finds out his fate, it's kind of sad.

I think everyone took the OP far too seriously

[Bolivar]

But FFIX didn't revolutionize JRPG's...





It says so in the file description of the PSN download of FFVII!!!

FFIX was lovely, don't get me wrong, but I find it to be a little overrated xD

I like FFIX and FFVII about the same.

I'm in the fairly firm "I do not like FFIX" camp. I don't know why. It is pretty enjoyable, and the many (many) times I've tried playing through it, I get a good way through before I get bored. But I always get bored at some point. I don't really know why, but I always lose interest and just stop playing.

I understand it was their intent so it doesn't make too much sense to criticize, but basically it felt too old-school to me. I really don't like Zidane (I'd apparently rather have an emo idiot to a flippant one), and the characters I do like - Freya, Beatrix, and Lani, especially - get a hell of a lot less time than I'd like and that, in Freya's case, than they deserve.

I dunno. I can see why people would like it but it just doesn't work for me. In contrast to FFVII, where I am on my 21st playthrough. Though this means less than it seems; I must have played through the first half of FFIX about a dozen times
