Am I the only person who felt these were a pretty good idea? I mean they were totally stolen from Star Ocean but honestly, FFIX utilized them much better. Thoughts?

True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
They were excellent. I loved that not only did they add to the characters and story, but they also could change it a bit (e.g. Garnet getting mugged in Treno).
I think they're cute. At some points you can't watch all of the ATEs available and have to make a choice, which adds a bit of replay value since you can watch different ones next time (I still had happy surprises in, like, my fifth playthrough watching ATEs I had previously missed!) Originally I didn't really understand why they didn't just make them normal cutscenes, but I've come to appreciate them since.
They were nice, how come people dislike them?
Well, some people don't like FFIX at all, so obviously some people are stupid.
I have been disappointed that these have never returned.
It's a shame, because these little scenes added so much to the characters and locales.
Vivi and Quina marriage ATE. <3
said the person that baught their copy used and without a booklet, even though i dislike the game i at least baught it brand new on day one...Originally Posted by Quinter Wonderland
anyways when Wolf said ATEs i originaly thaught he meant like the Swordfight in the beginning of the game where you had to time the inputs to impress the queen, i dont recall the ones that affect the story instead of a cutscene, but it seems like a cool concept...
That ridiculousness of that statement physically wounded me. xD
well it makes sense to me, if you love something you don't get it second hand, you pay retail on a new copy to support the company that makes the game, buying used only supports the secondary market and Square sees not one cent of that... to me buying used and claiming to like the product seems absurd, yet you say if someone else doesn't like IX they're stupid... its a case of the pot calling the kettle black in my opinion...
so yeah, just pointing out the ridiculousness of your own comment there, good to see you have a good sense of humor about it though...
Even worse if you download it.
*hides*
Wow, you actually made it stupider. Colour me impressed.
Loading times might be a bottleneck.
At first I didn't get why they weren't part of the main story like Rantz said, but you know, the ATEs really were charming and breathed a lot of life to the world of IX. They definitely added to the game's uniqueness.
theres always time for those that didn't obtain it propperly to show support by buying a new physical copy or downloading a digital one from the PSN...
lol, why hide Gamblet? i should be hiding, this isn't even my usual section of the forums, i just came to the IX forums recently hoping someone would convince me enough to give IX another try but so far most of what i've gotten was called a hater, troll, and now stupid, for either not liking it or finding faults... the IX community sure has a great way of showing support for their game...thank gawd there's at least a few nice people here...
