FF9 Seemed Like A Fill-In
I can't explain ff9. It wasn't bad but to me it seemed like a Fill-In kind of game. Like they had to make it to get to the next. Especially graphics wise. FF8 graphics were much better than FF9 and the characters in this were much shorter. Kinda like everyone was a midget. lol. but i still loved the storyline. it was a pretty good idea.

It was a tribute to all preceeding FF games, so they wanted a style that could be identifiable with many of the sprite-based games of yesteryear. The graphics are similar to that of FFVIII because the games were in development at the same time
The characters were purposedly made super deformed as a homage to the times where superdeformedness was a graphic necessity.
And no, it was not a filler, but a way to celebrate Final Fantasy in all of its installations before the transition to PS2. I dare anyone to demonstrate this game is a filler.
Some say that Square made IX with a distant old school flavour to make up for the experimental failure that was VIII. Not true though, as ForestOwl has said, the games were developed at the same time and IX was always intended to celebrate the Nintendo games that had skyrocketed FF into the forefront of the minds of all RPG players.
Besides, the game ownz. How can you say it's a filler?
how could you say that? FF9 is one of the best FFs and although the graphics may have been different FF9 is one of the coolest, funnest FF because of all the tributes and because of the cool storyline. i think its better than FF7. FF9 was supposed to be a tribute but only in a little way. it was also supposed to be a proper game which it is.

X-2 was a fill in. IX was not.
Rubedo: Filler? Why? 'Cause it was an odd number? :rolleyes2
chaos: I think they actually spent a lot more time perfecting FFIX than X or VIII. Have you listened to the music? Completely awesome.
Trowa: The graphics were beautiful. I didn't have a problem with them. The FMV's might not've been perfect in comparison to FFVIII's, but still, they are good. The storyline surpassed VIII's and X's IMO. I really felt like this game really fit the name "Final Fantasy". *sits and stares and sits and stares*
Calling it a filler is an insult. Well, not really.But I whole-heartedly do not believe that this installment of Final Fantasy was a 'filler'.
A filler would've looked horrid, had an un-creative storyline, terrible character development, leak-filled battle system, etc. FFIX did not.
Besides the IX is decorated in pretty gold colour. ^_^v
by the way i never sayed I hated FF9 and never meant to insult it. i like it too actually, especially vivi. But I was just stating my mind. But I guess I was wrong eh.

FFIX is da coolest! ^_^ (>'.')>Look! I'm beating my brother in FFIX! He's STILL at disc 1 while I'm almost at Terra (disc 3). I'm gonna win that $100.00 very soon! End of message. <('.'<)

I totally agree with y'all.
I heard that Square went out and asked people what a fantasy story would mean to them... they got the whole medieval europe thing..
And as for FFX-2 that was probably released because FFX was so popular and sold so well they made FFX-2 because they thought everone who played X would want to play X-2... i think they just did it to get the same kin d of money they made from X... I'm probably babbling a bit here...sorry...
No. Your not babbling, thats pretty acurate. I don't hate X-2, actually its quite fun but what you stated is obvious. The other reason for X-2 is because XI was online, alot of people would be turned off, therefore a normal game was made to balance out the equation and keep both sides happy (and themselves happy concidering they reap the profits of two games instead of the usual one)
