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.
