After 6 years, I finally got this game...

Disc One is the best disc in the game IMO

[Slicksword45]

disc 1 and 4 are kind of short.

All the other disc are long

yeah, disc 3 is the longest becuase thats when most sidequests become available, theres also lots of things that you can do that cant be done on disc 4

Absolutely my favorite game in the series. The writing and characterization is unsurpassed, the music is beautiful, and it even has a love story tucked in there that manages not to be too tacky or steal the focus of the game. The ability system works fine--as long as you spend a decent amount of time in random battles (you shouldn't have to do much, if any, level grinding) you'll learn most of your abilities right before you have the opportunity to buy new equipment. The Mognet sidequest is a lot of fun, and beating Ozma is a cool challenge. Also, the Chocobo hunt is pretty cool, but can be extremely frustrating at times. Still worth doing, though.

Top top game. Currently going through Vivi SSC and its pretty damn tough. The little kid has bugger all HP!

[The Crystal]

This is one of the(if not the) best FF that exist, in my opinion. The only bad thing about it, is that you don't want it to end, but unfortunatelly, the game is not infinite, and have an end.

You will never find a final fantasy that tops this game. It's absolutely superb in every single way. You're lucky. I wish I could play it for the first time again.

[Zidane Ultimate]

I agree completely with nik0tine on that, it was just an amazing experience playing through FFIX for the first time.

[Crossblades]

I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying this game. It is indeed one of the best. Keep on playing. It just gets better

[Polnareff]

Love this game.

I'm on the third disc, right after (SPOILER)you go to Lindblum castle and Cid gets turned back into a human and it's been a great ride so far. My favorite moment up to this point was when (SPOILER)you find Eiko in Mt. Gulug and Zorn/Thorn try to summon an Eidolon from her, then Mog comes to the rescue, turns into an eidolon herself, and uses an attack called Terra Homing on them. That was possibly my favorite part of the story so far.

For my comment, you need to understand that Final Fantasy as a series is kind've an on/off switch affair. I love the games or I hate them, with FFVII being the only one I'm KIND'VE indifferent on (Cloud cross dressing almost makes up for the rest of the game).

FFIX is one of the three FF games (two if you don't count Tactics) that I consider to be 'the best FF ever'. FFIX is the game that made me say, "Y'know, I love FFVI, and it's time to move past those fond memories and say that something new did it better."

The first and last discs are pretty short (like everyone's been saying), but I honestly believe it's because those two discs have the most cutscenes in them... And while I'm usually more to talk about what made the game playable and interesting, since everyone else did that... Discs 1 and 3 have the most amazing cutscenes to be put into a Final Fantasy until FFXII. Oh, and FFIX holds the distinction among FF titles (jointly if you count Tactics-I DO) of making me care about the characters.

or not.

this is my fav FF

First IX experience = amazing. This game got me into the series.

*nods* My first time playing IX, by the end of the game i had fallen in love with characters (except quinna and eiko...) and i was realy sad that the game was over, it was like saying goodbye to good friends. How many other games can do that? Now I'm on my fifth file ^_^ I just dont grow tired of the characters or the story, and the music is fantastic. Its the only FF soundtrack that i've actually bought instead of simply downloading.

[lufia]

yeah this is the only final fantasy that i got the feeling of not wanting to end it. my fav. near the end when something happens to zidane is the best moment in game history, the part were they play the song "you're not alone" you find out soon

[chrisfffan]

i hated it when i first played it, it was so different to 7 and 8 i played it again a year later and got hooked! it was the first FF i completed after that their was no stopping me i done them all 8 then 7 then X even though i didnt like X i felt that i had to complete it!
