Message: [QUOTE="Pandaprewmaster325, post: 227675, member: 217919"] I said somewhere what's probably great about FF9 while i prefer 8 too for the reasons you mentioned such as a more complex story , we gotta give 9 credit where it's due. If you played the first 6 FF games you will know why 9 is so special from the PS1 trilogy as 7/8 deviated from the usual FF setting that was middle ages by adding technology and with 7 simplifying the pieces of gear you had to equip like 6 having 5 while 7 you only equipped weapon some bracer and an accessory. With 8 it was even more simplified by swapping armor with durability and accessory merged with special abilities like magic increased by 40% (you gotta have rinoa with this) While 7/8 were deviating from the roots 9 went back to the roots , a setting more akin to the older games along with gear becoming 5 slots now bringing back ability to equip gloves along with the traditional jobs like knight/theif and the return of white/black mages. Along with music brought back from older titles and the return of the start of final fantasy battle music the "bass" i think it's called , tracks like castle pandemonium remade for FF9 , the return of the dwarves , and the story line containing the crystal and the four fiends of elements , so many throwbacks to older titles along with a deviant version of FF8 abilities system and an artstyle and animations similar to FF7 being quite cartoony compared to FF8 which square went absolutely nuts with animations , all in all FF9 felt like the devs honoring their history while utilizing PS1 technology to create a traditional Final Fantasy game taking elements from all previous installments. It also does help that series creator has FF9 as his favorite game. [/QUOTE]
