Final Fantasy IX

You can't have three in a row right? Or technically 4 in a row if you count the amazing FF3/FF6.

Well be warned. While this is a heart-warming game in certain aspects it's also somewhat more dark in tone. If FF8 was supposed to be an ode to movies, then FF9 is an ode to plays. Unfortunately it's one of those tragedies. There's also little exciting or compelling about it. You get the airship with about 2 minutes to go in the story... and considering it was the last airship you'll ever "fly" in the standard Final Fantasy universe it's somewhat sad. It's a very good game, just an "ok" Final Fantasy. Stick with FF7, 8, 10, and 12.

Final Fantasy IX

This is a great game for anyone who is either experienced at RPG's or just starting out. It has a great storyline that you can get into by either leaving the character names the way they are defaulted or put a personal touch and name them after yourself and friends.

Overall, this is a pretty good game. Certain aspecks of it are annoying but others are wonderful. Like being able to cast cure on ALL party members at once.

This game was actually my introduction to the final fantasy series and it's absolutely amazing. For the time the game was made, the graphics were phenomenal. The sound is great, the music is interesting and keeps you engaged, and the gameplay is a lot of fun. If you haven't played this game yet, I highly recommend you play it through at least once, but there's no sense in me continuing to sing it's praises when everyone else already has (it's over eight years old)

I have played Final Fantasy VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, Tactics, and Tactics Advanced, and I do think this has the best story line out of all of them, and i think that's what makes a good game.
