I loooved the scene with Garnet and her mother when he mother dies.
Disc 3 is my favorite :3. I hope you like it. It has some really powerful and touching scenes, I find.

Eiko certainly does seem more like she's 11-12 than six. And yeah, annoying as all hell.
Gonna echo on the "Eiko is annoying" thing. Definitely.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Master of the Fork
Cid's Knight
She I'd. And amarant is totally an afterthought. I don't understand his place in the party.
IX itself really isn't very hard. It ha a few difficult moments but I think its more about the story.
Amarant does feel a bit like a spare part. I used him in battle more than I had previously in a playthrough a couple of months back and found him surprisingly useful, and more enjoyable than I'd found to be the case before. Though I can't say the experience was revolutionary enough to make me want to use him again.
After feeling a bit disappointed with the end of the second disk, I think I subconsciously lost a little interest in this game, so I took a small break for a while to play others.
Oh man, Beatrix finding the loveletter is so great. And the fact that so many people are finding it is wonderful. Marcus' nose starts bleeding, ahaha that was great xD Sucks for Beatrix and Steiner, though! I was so looking forward to a super cute moment. So looking forward to Beatrix and Steiner getting together!
Garnet's ceremony dress is so pretty! ;__________________;
Hoooooly trout. Did not expect Bahamut to come in and start destroying trout. #troutgotrekt
Eiko is still annoying.
I empathize with Garnet a lot in her not knowing her role, not knowing what it is to do, not wanting or having to ask for help even though she seems lost and confused.
I am still so frustrated with the eidolons being released in the game so late. I understand the reason for it now, I just don't think it's a very good one. It completely wastes the possibility of using them for the entire game. Stupid, stupid. Alexander is awesome as trout, though. I've always liked him.
THAT smurfING EYEBALL. WHAT IS IT. WHY IS IT IN THE SKY AND WHY IS IT SO CREEPY. GO AWAY, SKEYEBALL.
Between Kuja, Amarant, and now Garland being introduced so late into the story, I'm pretty fed up with characters showing up late to the party. One I could handle. Three across different levels/platforms is pretty ridiculous.
The more I play this game, the more I remember echoes of haters berating FFVIII for its love story. I don't get it. Of the games I have played - VII, VIII and IX, it seems like the love story is pretty prominent in all of them. In FFVIII, Squall makes a decision to go rescue Rinoa, which ends up as a main arc in the story. Zidane does the same thing in FFIX. Why the hate for FFVIII, yet this one is loved so much more with a good portion of the story being the same? A mysterious girl runs away, meets boy, said girl is important in one way or another, decides to follow through with her duty of this and that involving some power or other that she and she alone holds and has to leave her group of friends after adventures traveled, guy decides to come rescue her from inevitable turmoil of x relating to that duty. This is incredibly puzzling to me. If anything, FFVIII seems more mature about it, and that would probably appeal to me more, so I don't understand why it's so hated. But I understand that FFIX is whimsical and more fantasy-based, and that would appeal to some. Hate FFVIII for different reasons, sure, but that is the most common complaint I hear is that FFVIII's lovestory sucks. This complaint coming from those who loved this game is not valid in any capacity because FFIX's lovestory follows along the same lines conspicuously closely.
I honestly never understood all the VIII hate. It's my second favorite FF (after IX :P). There is certainly a prominent love story in IX.
I didn't mind at all the late intro characters. I loooove the Alexander, Bahamut scene, and the scene with Beatrix and Steiner going through town together. The love letters scene is great.
The third disc is my favorite. It's also thestart of when they stop separating your characters finally. There's a great scene with Zidane coming up later on.
The eye in the sky wields a pleasant surprise
(sorry guys, in case you haven't figured out, I'm doing/going to be doing a lot of comparisons to VIII. I'm still trying to let this be its own thing, though, and appreciate it for what it is.)
I like that Alexandria has it's own "secret." It reminds me very much about how the Garden is mobile in VIII.
bawwww Zidane coming to save Dagger from the castle crumbling ;_________;
I'm pretty disappointed I didn't get to see more of the destruction of Alexandria. Something had better not have happened to Beatrix or I'm going to start flipping tables.
Ohh man, Garnet losing her voice is nuts. Could not have foreseen that happening. That is pretty damn heartbreaking. I wonder why that had to happen. I don't understand what it has to do with her grief, though. Even so, Doctor Tot is a boss, so I trust what he has to say.
Upon entering the town of Lindblum to engage in a search for potions, I came across a crabby old man who shouted at me, "Dammit, Jim! I'm a doctor, not a miracle-worker! Ask somebody else." to which I squealed in delight over. And the potions didn't even work! After all my searching, poor Cid got turned into a frog xD Maybe I should second-think Tot after all!
I know there is a Quina-love in this forum but I honestly cannot see the use for Quina at all. Not in the story, not in Quina's own ATE adventures, not in battle. Maybe the full purpose has not yet been revealed. I don't hate Quina, I just think that having a useless character around is annoying.
I realized that even though Zidane can get pretty irritating with his going on about women all the time, I like him. He's charismatic and has the personality of a leader, but he's not perfect and he doesn't know everything, and more than that he doesn't act like he does or that he's afraid that he doesn't. He's pretty clumsy. I like that he isn't a perfect star character. Along the lines of that, I really like seeing all of the character development going on. There's a lot to be said about almost everyone's personal stories here. Mostly I am a fan of simplicity, but when it comes to a large cast, the worst thing possible is to have them be boring. Varied stories and the depth of exploring those stories are imperative, and I feel like this game has done a good job of it.
Garnet has become like Ward. Now she'll have to communicate by slightly turning her character model and staring at your character.
There was a Star Trek reference in-game? Nice.
Yeah, I was pretty surprised but also pleased!
Who is your favorite character so far, Shorty?
I feel like I identify with Garnet in ways the most, even though I've found her pretty bratty at times (though I concede that I am bratty and that I am bratty often). I like Beatrix the best, though. Strong badass female characters with eyepatches I am all about. Normally I would probably consider a villain coming to the "good" side to be a bit wishy-washy, but I can forgive this instance.
Beatrix is sweet. Reading this thread really makes me want to play this again.
Skeyeball. I love it.
Beatrix is pretty great
Yeah, I'm glad you don't care for Quina either. Dumb, dumb.
Also, at this point in the game they should've told you what the eyeball is.......
