“Final Fantasy 9 is, plain and simple, one of the best FF games ever made. It's a love-letter to the classic FF era, made to send off the series before it moved into the PS2 and the era of voice-acting. This version is…”
“Finally got around to playing this for the first time this year and what an experience. Amazing emotional and fantastical moments throughout this game. The characters are great although the age of the game makes it hard…”
“This was originally a homage to classic final fantasy games and was among the last games Squaresoft worked on. A lot of people prefer 7 and 8 but I consider this to be the best entry in the series by far. To the high…”

“I’am only really writing this review in desperate bid to try and get people to play this masterpiece of a game. 😂 But in all seriousness, I find this FF to be one of the most underrated in the series without a doubt - I…”
“One of the best Final Fantasy games! It's probably my 4th time playing this game and I still enjoy it as I have done before! If you are looking for a more industrial, non-modern, type of Final Fantasy I would highly…”

“7>9>8 and it's pretty close... This game was amazing but the story really dragged on compared to the other games.”
“absolutely brilliant I don't like some of the story telling decisions, feels like there's just way too much going on to be concise, but overall it is one of the easiest FF games to get into.”
