For being the greatest RPG and greatest game of all time, for being the best entry in the main series and for existing so I could discover it, play it and fall in love with it. I will never forget the first time I finished it, listening to "Melodies of Life" as the credits rolled, while showing all those cutscenes, a lookback at the amazing game I had just played, the incredible journey I had just gone through.

Thank you, Final Fantasy IX, for being one of those things that just makes one happy to be human.
