FINAL FANTASY IX

A beautiful masterpiece with some amazing art. I highly recommend picking this game up during a sale. Its worth using a game pad for the best experience.

My favorite Final Fantasy. Highly recommend to play with the Memoria and Moguri mods.

This is one of my favorite games of all time. The characters, story, music.. This game, in my opinion of course, is such a beautiful game.

This game running at 60fps with memoria mod is stunning to see

This is one of the first RPGs I ever played, and is still my favorite to this day. I love it so much, I've bought it multiple times for various consoles throughout the years. The gameplay, the story, even the graphics were outstanding for the era it came from!

If you like old school Final Fantasy/RPGs like I do, there's a very good chance you will like this love letter to all its predecessors. 💜

FFIX is a flawless combination of everything that makes a Final Fantasy game great.

Narrative, soundtrack, characters, combat, and setting are all phenomenal.

The characters in this game are some of the most well-written in any game I have ever played. Vivi Ornitier in particular is probably the best written character in the whole Final Fantasy series, and he is only the tritagonist of this game.

It has aged well for the most part. I played with the Memoria & Moguri mods which enhanced the experience dramatically, increasing FPS, unblurring backgrounds, as well as adding a bunch of convenient options such as boosting game speed, etc.

The 15 FPS FMV’s and grindy mini games showed their age when playing, but that is probably my only gripes with the game, which says a lot.

Hard to believe this came out in 2000. I would really like FFIX to be re-made by Square in the future, as the technology of today can really elevate this game to the next level.

A must-play for any RPG fan. The experience this game provides is truly timeless.

10/10.

A very nostalgic game from the final fantasy series, the control are still simple and the story is light but fun

Its a classic RPG with a great story and great graphics.

What an era. This game is really good though it is also a bit too childish for me.

What do modern games sometimes lack that some retro games can have? 1. Fun engaging gameplay. 2. A satisfying and thought provoking story. FFIX has both of these. The story isn't maudlin and it isn't too childish to have value to adults. The underlying theme is this: A satisfying and moral life is uncomplicated and can be discovered by being 'honest' or more accurately by being 'true to oneself'. The story is charming, inspiring, and thought provoking. In the past I've replayed the game just to experience the story again. Regarding #1, this is more complicated to explain so I will answer this second. First of all it has aged like a fine wine in terms of technology. The music and graphics were sufficient for immersion even before the re-release improvements. The idea of gaining abilities permanently through familiarity with items is deeply satisfying. It gives the sense of ownership of ability and development of character. This mechanic inspires us to explore the world to not only find treasure but to make it part of ourselves vicariously through the characters. Depending on how we play the game it feels like we can have completely different characters by the end of the story. There is a ton of optional content that is not boring in the slightest or fails to feel rewarding. My one exception here is the card game, which I was not a huge fan of. The level of difficulty is well balanced. At some point you have to find a way to progress, but you have options. You can use strategy, grind, or seek better items. There are a lot of fun surprises and workarounds as well as traps you can easily fall into. All in all the game is fun, memorable, and filled with replay value. Any player who can enjoy a turn based rpg has every reason to purchase and enjoy this game for countless hours. Are there issues? Well only one worth mentioning, lol. So... don't park your awesome upgraded chocobo too close to any town, Treno in particular. You may find yourself incapable of getting back on choco, which is a very frustrating way to lose progress.

This game perfectly epitomizes what Final Fantasy as a franchise is all about. It has some elements of the earlier games (combat akin to the first games, a medieval setting, characters having specific jobs) yet it comes after two of their most celebrated installments that offer a more modern perspective, setting and themes. The soundtrack is beautiful, extremely memorable, and in my opinion, the best one in the entire franchise (fight me!). The story and the characters are just amazing, though I agree that many of them deserve more screen time and development (Freya, i'm looking at you rn). If you ever wonder which game you should select as a gateway into the world of Final Fantasy, I highly recommend FF9, but starting with the cream of the crop can be a two-edged sword so be warned. :)

Solid game, great background art which can be enhanced even furhter by Moguri mod

Still to date my favorite FF. Loved the music, story and exploration.

Final Fantasy IX is such a great game that it perfectly establishes the mechanics of the Final Fantasy series, especially after the incident caused by its predecessor, VIII. It takes the best aspects of VII and turns them into the perfect formula by eliminating the frustrating experimental mechanics introduced by VIII. Although it didn’t sell well, IX became a game that must be experienced by every Final Fantasy and JRPG fan. It offers a simpler gameplay compared to both VII and VIII which makes it accessible to newcomers as well as loyal fans. However, there is one aspect that I feel like I should criticize and that is the fact that it actually doesn’t offer as much freedom as VII and that is the ability to determine which character is going to assume which role such as tank, mage, etc. Each character has pre-determined abilities that cannot be modified or changed, but it doesn’t cause any disturbances or obstacles in the game in any way. Just like in VII, you have a bunch of weapons, armor pieces, and several accessories that you can equip your characters with, and they all have unique abilities that you can teach the characters through farming AP. Unlike VIII, leveling up doesn’t punish you and it’s quite rewarding as it should.

The characters have chibi looks and the setting may seem more cartoony which could lead to misunderstanding that it’s not as serious as the previous titles, but don’t let the appearances deceive you since it’s one of the most powerful and emotional Final Fantasy stories that can give you teary eyes in the end. The protagonist Zidane is a cheerful and goofy guy unlike Squall and Cloud, thus, he ended up being my favorite protagonist of the PSX era of Final Fantasy games. It was nice to see a caring, cheerful, and confident guy instead of an edgelord for a change, furthermore; it truly feels like a “fantasy” game due to its setting being in a fictional medieval era. The story mostly revolves around Zidane’s love interest Dagger and his black mage pal Vivi whereas Steiner, Dagger’s loyal knight, gives Zidane a tough time throughout the game due to the status difference between Zidane and Princess Dagger. Of course, there are more characters, but the story mainly focuses on Zidane, Dagger, and Vivi, therefore; I’d prefer to say nothing more about the rest of the cast. However, all of their backstories are being explored as the game progresses and Zidane finds a meaning to his life through his friends which makes the story quite deep and complex rather than a straight shot to the goal.

Another distinguishing feature of IX is the ability to use 4 characters simultaneously unlike VII and VIII. The card game Tetra Master is also quite interesting, but it’s not as engaging as Triple Triad in my opinion. It also doesn’t offer you any real reward except for a few achievements, so going after every single card out there would be meaningless unless you’re a completionist. Speaking of the completionist side of the game, it’s a bit irritating due to how easy it is to miss stuff such as ATEs, treasures, and time-limited mini-games, thus, it’s recommended to follow a guide strictly if you’re aiming for a 100% completion rate. Moogle letters are also quite easy to miss and yes, moogles play a huge role in Final Fantasy IX instead of cameo appearances. I mean, it’s only natural that they got a bigger role in this given its setting. And who can forget chocobos? They return with an interesting mini-game that leads to the toughest boss fight in the game if you have time to invest in it and yes, chocobo progression is very similar to the one in VII. Speaking of time investment, there is an achievement that requires you to kill 10.000 enemies yet again, but at least in-game boosters and cheats are more efficient this time around which could help you a lot or you could simply use another save file to avoid hours of grinding. The soundtrack on the other hand is memorable and quite emotional as always thanks to Nobuo Uematsu, who never disappoints. I don’t know if it’s already in the works or not, but Square Enix should definitely remake IX next!

TL;DR

Despite the spotlight always being on Final Fantasy VII and X, Final Fantasy IX often goes unmentioned, and I don't understand why. This is a peak PS1 game, with its charming art style and design that have aged remarkably well compared to VII and VIII, making it a visually appealing game even today.

I don't want to say much more because I believe it’s a game that’s best experienced with minimal prior knowledge. It's truly worth playing. Having experienced it, it's become one of my favourite Final Fantasy games.

Get Memoria mod, and Moguri. Unlock framerate. Be very happy!

One of the best games, with a perfect story and themes so profound and reflective that they'll stay with you for years. I love how the story and its characters convey themes of existentialism, defying fate, and the cycle of life and death. These themes are beautifully explored through the characters of Zidane, Vivi, and Kuja.

As for the combat, I was quite tired of the ATB system after playing through all the Final Fantasy games—I would have much preferred a conditional turn-based system at that point. However, in this game, inputting commands and dealing high damage to enemies still felt satisfying.

Aside from a few moments, the game maintains a strong pace in its story structure and world exploration. It does a great job of guiding players on where to go next, and the side content never feels mandatory.

The music is phenomenal, once again composed by the legendary Nobuo Uematsu. While I only had a few personal favorites, most of the soundtrack perfectly fits the mood and tone of each scene, including moments where the absence of music is used effectively.

By the endgame, things get tough—I had to grind for a while just to survive the final boss. Thankfully, mods helped with that. Speaking of mods, I have to say that the Moguri Mod made the experience of playing this masterpiece even better. It streamlines the game in a way that I think would enhance the experience for everyone, not just me.

FF IX is my favorite final fantasy, and it was awesome to replay it with the Moguri mod. As always, fans do what companies wont. Especially squeenix. The only thing they're good for these days is milking their old IP back from when they used to make good games.

Recommend this game b/c its amazing and if you play with mods. If not just emulate it, eff SE.

I've already finished this game a few times when I was younger. And when I discover the existence of Moguri Mod, I just really had to play this again to see how much it improves the game. So far, I'm not disappointed.

Characters are great, systems in the game for learning abilities take some time to get your head around, combat fun as you usual FF affair, has some good mods for making look more modern than the PSX release.

Final Fantasy IX Review
Introduction
Released in 2000 for the PlayStation, Final Fantasy IX is often regarded as one of the best entries in the Final Fantasy series. It serves as a nostalgic return to the franchise's medieval fantasy roots while incorporating modernized mechanics and storytelling. With a rich narrative, charming characters, and a beautifully crafted world, the game stands as a masterpiece in the JRPG genre.

Story & Characters: 10/10
The story follows Zidane, a lighthearted thief who gets caught up in a grand adventure involving princesses, war, ancient civilizations, and an existential crisis that reaches cosmic proportions. The cast is one of the strongest in the series, featuring:

Zidane – A charismatic and carefree rogue with a hidden past.
Garnet (Dagger) – A runaway princess seeking to understand the world outside her kingdom.
Vivi – A timid black mage struggling with deep questions about life and identity.
Steiner – A devoted knight torn between duty and morality.
Freya, Eiko, Amarant, and Quina – Each adds unique personality and backstory to the adventure.
The game explores heavy themes like fate, identity, war, and mortality, making it one of the most emotionally resonant entries in the series.

Gameplay & Combat: 9/10
Final Fantasy IX features a turn-based combat system using the Active Time Battle (ATB) system. Unlike its immediate predecessors (FFVII and FFVIII), the game returns to a traditional four-person party, allowing for more strategic depth.

Trance System – A limit break-like mechanic that temporarily enhances abilities.
Abilities & Equipment – Players learn abilities by equipping gear and mastering them over time, adding depth to progression.
Mini-Games & Side Content – Chocobo Hot & Cold, Tetra Master (card game), and secret bosses provide plenty of distractions.
The combat is well-balanced and enjoyable, though it can feel slightly slow-paced at times.

Graphics & Art Style: 10/10
The game’s pre-rendered backgrounds and character designs are absolutely stunning, even today. Final Fantasy IX embraces a whimsical, fairy-tale aesthetic that makes it stand out from its more futuristic predecessors. The vibrant, colorful environments give each location a distinct personality, from the towering city of Alexandria to the mysterious, mist-covered Outer Continent.

Music & Sound: 10/10
Nobuo Uematsu delivers one of his best soundtracks, featuring

Overall Score: 9.5/10
Pros:
✅ Incredible story and characters
✅ Beautiful art direction and world-building
✅ Engaging combat with strategic depth
✅ Amazing soundtrack

Cons:
❌ Slightly slow battle system
❌ Tetra Master isn’t as well-loved as Triple Triad from FFVIII

Final Thoughts
Final Fantasy IX is a love letter to classic RPGs, blending nostalgic fantasy elements with deep storytelling and refined mechanics. Whether you're a longtime Final Fantasy fan or a newcomer, this game is an unforgettable experience that stands the test of time. If you haven’t played it yet, you’re missing out on one of the greatest JRPGs ever made.

Great story, great soundtrack, great game.

It's Final Fantasy IX. It's a great game, can't go wrong. Not my thing personally, but there is mods out there that give this game a tasteful HD enhancement. Just read the reviews.

Final Fantasy IX is the greatest Final Fantasy of all time.

I originally played this on the PS1 and I've played some one hundred plus hours on it (my game timer turned to red.. if you know what that means. Yours might've turned into some more colors other than that).

The game's story will give you a great adventure, enjoyable characters, emotional trauma and even the meaning of life. It may not even be that deep, but it was for me.

I've spent some of my formative years getting comfy in Alexandria, being scarred in the Evil Forest and Ice Cavern, relaxing in Dali, destroying South Gate, hanging out in Lindblum, crying in Burmecia, breaking down in the Red Rose while looking at Cleyra, eating South Gate Bundt cake, unpetrifying ____, spending the night in Treno, losing in Tetra Master a lot (bring me back my cards!!!), exploring Gargan Roo, playing with Ramuh, getting lost for a significant time in Fossil Roo, trying to understand what the folks in Conde Petie are actually saying, finding a village of black mages, going through the history of Eidolons and killing a giant fucking tree. And those were the just the first 2 discs!

I've yet to tell you some of the other ones like the time I had to return to level 1 items to go through a castle, the time I've spent exploring the world with the best airship ever, searching and almost giving up on where the hell the ocean chocograph is even located, and getting a lot of treasure in the Chocobo Lagoons and Sky Gardens.

But I guess that's for you to explore and mine to relive all over again.

I love you Final Fantasy IX. Let's retell your story once more.

Game is a crap console port. Better to go play an emulated version. It is clunky, slow, terribly optimized, no proper key bindings. Typical Square Enix garbage.

If you are looking for a jrpg game with a great plot and a cast of characters with their own individual levels of development and struggles, then this game is a fantastic choice. The cast of characters is the main selling point of this game for me. You see these characters change and grow throughout the game up until the end. Along with the main characters, all of the supporting cast help make the world feel alive. The medieval high fantasy setting is my favorite in the series right behind Final Fantasy 7. Nobou Uematsu's skills as a composer is in full effect here. Each track perfectly captures the vibe of each area or character theme. The highlight for me is the main overworld theme.

The battle system is a little mundane compared to other Final Fantasy games however. A soft job system is back with a few twists. Learning skills/spells through equipment would be a cool idea if most of them weren't useless. Any spell/skill that would debuff a boss like sleep or poison will most likely always miss. On top of that, battles take an ETERNITY to load and finish, unless you use the Moguri mod. This makes it to where debuff abilities are only really usable on regular enemies, which are still WAY too underwhelming to get any use out of them. You are rewarded more for using stronger weapons and only using the attack command. Moguri mod is almost necessary to get through the sluggish battle system.

This game is worth playing for the story elements alone. Don't focus on the battles too much.

FFIX is a phenomenal game and an absolute masterclass in how to make an amazing RPG.

Still say X is the best FF game but this is now my 2nd favourite, only regret is that I waited soo long to finally play it,

Final Fantasy IX: A Masterpiece of RPG

Final Fantasy IX is a true gem in the world of role-playing games. With its captivating story, memorable characters, and stunning visuals, it stands out as one of the best entries in the Final Fantasy series. The game's narrative is rich and engaging, taking players on an epic journey through the enchanting world of Gaia. The characters are well-developed and relatable, each with their own unique personalities and backstories that add depth to the overall experience.

The gameplay is a perfect blend of traditional turn-based combat and innovative features. The graphics are a feast for the eyes, with beautifully detailed environments and character designs that bring the world of Gaia to life. The music, composed by the legendary Nobuo Uematsu, is nothing short of a masterpiece, perfectly complementing the game's emotional moments and epic battles.

Final Fantasy IX is a must-play for any RPG fan, offering a timeless experience that continues to captivate players even years after its release. It's a testament to the creativity and dedication of its developers, and a shining example of what makes the Final Fantasy series so beloved.

(This is of course is my opinion).

This is my favourite Final Fantasy game, and also one of my favourite games overall! I've played it many many times on PSX, and now it's on steam!

Great story, charming character designs, mostly great character arcs (except for [REDACTED] who joins late and does nothing, and [REDACTED] whose story just stops in its tracks after [REDACTED] happens), and absolutely amazing music!

I heartily recommend this game to anyone interested in JRPGs! Even if you've played it before! There are mods available that change up the battle system or add extra bosses, and more!

Absolutely fantastic!

This was one of my favourite games from Sony Playstation.
The memoria mod lifted it up to a new graphical standards while still maintaining original charm.

a love letter to classic ff games. absolute perfection

FF9 on Steam is unreliable and crashy. Does not have rewind or save-state capabilities like you would expect from an emulator nowadays.

A great game that stands tall as one of the 5 best FF's. Get the moguri mod and this becomes the best version of IX i've ever had the joy of playing.

Aside from battle/combat feeling very slowed down, loved the game.

Lots of existential topics covered in the story, and the ending... As well as Vivi's growth and character development are some amazing plot points.

The cinematics may be graphically dated, but they make up for it with charm in spades. One of the most iconic JRPGs of all time, a firm recommend!

Classic. Takes me all the way back hearing the soundtrack and having random encounters again.

Everyone knows this game is great. The toggle cheats are nice if you want to skip some grinding and just experience the story again.

FF9 is still my most favorite game in the entire series. Playing with Memoria Patcher, Moguri Mod and several other QoL mods makes this feel like a modern remake. Highly recommend installing mods. It's extremely simple to install and it's completely free!

FF9 was the only classic FF I hadn't touched for many many years. I just played it for the first time recently, after replaying VI-VIII and X, and I think I finally understand why some people say this is their favorite. While the game is overall a masterpiece, personally, I think it comes down to one simple reason: if you're a completionist and you want to see everything this game has to offer, it's actually NOT torture. It actually respects your time, doesn't grind the pacing to a halt, and is fun at best and harmless at worst.

FF9's side content never overstays its welcome, it's rarely a blink-and-you'll-miss-it affair, it's never tedious (aside from finding Chocographs; even frog catching isn't that bad if you know what you're doing) and it never asks you to grind the story to a halt in order to do them, which helps the pacing of the story a TON. I didn't hate any of it. The Chocobo stuff is a hell of a lot more engaging than the stuff you do with them in other games, and most of the rest of them are fairly harmless button-mashing or QTE affairs. Even if you're going for 100%, the game is still constantly moving. Best of all, Tetra Master is entirely optional and affects nothing outside of one moment in the story. In other games, if you want to go for the ultimate weapons, or do all the sidequests, the absolute mind-numbingly tedious ♥♥♥♥ you have to do is so insane you'll eventually just say "screw it" and break out a save editor. Not here.

The pacing is really well-done. Random battles are still a thing, but they're actually fairly rare in this game unless you're specifically trying to grind. Dungeons all feel unique and well-designed, they never drag, and they're just really wel-designed. The visuals are just, my god, so good. Some might think fantasy settings and airships were played out even in 2000, but IX perfects that aesthetic. I don't think a single RPG bursts at the seams with charm like this game does. The music is probably the best soundtrack Uematsu has ever done outside of VI, and I have a hard time deciding which one is better.

I also love the mechanics of the game itself. Junctioning and constantly swapping out materia, or god forbid, dealing with the sphere grid in X, gets very tedious very fast. But swapping out a few pieces of equipment or abilities takes literal seconds and you're back to exploring. There's a great balance between flexibility and simplicity, where it's easy to understand and engaging to deal with, and yet the difficulty being cranked up means it never feels too easy (holy crap items actually matter now!). The method of acquiring Blue Magic may seem annoying to some people compared to VIII, but it's a hell of a lot better than it was in VI and VII. It isn't as broken this time, either.

As for the story, regardless of what anyone thinks of the plot itself, IX blows every other entry out of the water when it comes to character writing. I was reminded while playing that VII and VIII have much better theming and settings than they do actual writing, which at times (especially in VIII) just kinda sucks. IX tips the scales all the way in the other direction, and it becomes better for it. The chemistry between the cast is top-notch to the point where the story going off-the-rails and having ridiculous contrived twists and stakes practically doesn't matter because the characters are all so well-written and so likable, it makes you forget about it. (Except Amarant...but tbh he's no worse than Vincent).

The only two major issues with the game are the emphasis on stealing (which can be tedious and annoying) and the battle speed being so slow. There's no real way around the former without cheating to give yourself a 100% success rate (which honestly would still be an improvement IMO), but the latter is easily fixed by cranking up the battle speed in Memoria (you ARE playing with mods, right, weirdo?) and turning the intro skip on.

Greetings, it’s zushi here. Time for me to talk about final fantasy 9. I just finished it so my thoughts are still fresh.


Story:10/10(The story is quite frankly of one of the best I’ve witnessed in a game in a long time. Playing this game and seeing the story evolve from a medieval fantasy setting to what what it turns into in the climax and ending is stunning. While playing and witnessing the plot twist in certain parts myself I realized how powerful 9’s story was to not just the franchise but to others. It’s clear that some rpg’s years later took inspiration from 9 and that’s a beautiful thing.)


Setting:10/10(The world is magical fantasy and also takes place in a medieval setting which I loved to see. But the game wasn’t just one note and done, going to other towns weren’t just different but still old cities. 9 sprinkled in variety like for example, Lindblum. While it definitely still has the medieval feel, it also is so futuristic at the same time and that was astounding.)


Art:8/10(this might be the lowest scoring yet but it will be the only one this low. The world design itself is amazing but the character design, while I turned to love and welcome, I did not like at first. It was too different and the cgi cutscenes actually made me physically ill the first time I saw them so it was something to get accustomed to. After getting a chance to get used to all, I really loved it but I know I can’t get rid of the first impression.)


Music:9.5/10(I actually listened to the soundtrack months before playing the game and I liked it but felt with my experience with other Final Fantasy’s that this one didn’t have as good as something like 6,7 or 8’s soundtrack.Man was I wrong once I played it and that’s okay. The soundtrack fits this game perfectly and after playing the game, the soundtrack alone is so good that I think it as good as the previously mentioned 6,7 and 8.)


Characters:9.5/10(I have too much to say but I can’t put it into words/text so I’ll be brief: the cast compliments the story,the setting,each other graciously. I only disliked Steiner but he still fits the story perfectly. Yes there is also the mysterious case of Amarant and all I can say is he’s fine. I didn’t grow attached nor disliked him and if you take him away you wouldn’t notice but literally everyone else, even side characters, pretty close to perfect.)


Battle/fights:9.5/10(Standard turn based with the ATB but they added trance which was like a cool transformation for everyone when their emotions are heightened. Boss fights were fun(except ozma….i dont know why I was determined to fight that thing but I did. It look cool though). This game is great. This game shows others what it means to be nigh perfection.)


Overall:9.75/10 PLAY THIS PEAK GAME NOW!

I'm at a bit of a crossroad for this game. On the one hand, its story and characters alone make the game worth playing. If you're interested in them yourself, definitely give it a shot.

On the other hand, it's gameplay is kinda mixed for me. The ATB battles are good, albeit a bit on the slower side, but that's fine for me. My main gripe of the game is the amount of required mini-games you're forced to go through, as they're plentiful in the main storyline and some of them can get on your nerves (ex: hot and cold). If you like minigames in your JRPGs, you may have a good time, but as someone who wanted to play it for the battles and story, they can get a bit overbearing.

I also don't recommend going for 100% unless you really want to, as it is extremely demanding due to a specific item that you can only get within the first 12 hours of the game. Trying to get that item alongside trying to do everything else is one of the most daunting things I've seen a game ask out of someone.

Despite my mixed feelings, I still recommend it if you are interested in it at all. For many, it became their favorite game of all time. For me, my first playthrough was a great time and I'll leave it at that for now.

I played this back when it first came out. And only recently replayed it. Heavily modded, (Thank you Moguri!)

Since then, this game still holds strong, Replaying it alone, the game hits completely differently as an adult who, faced not the same issues but the same themes?

This game is a GREAT example of a depth and complex narrative, I can't really gush over the depths they really nailed with this one. Vivi, Garnet, Zidane, Stiner, there's a lot of adult themes they face. and the ending just, its the most satisfying part. its been over 20 years IX and you still hold up!

Great series but an especially great storyline for the IX saga of the game. If you're looking for a compelling storyline with relatable characters and some great life lessons, this is the game. Truly a prime example of the storytelling of the late/early 00s of video games. Squaresoft did a great job with this game and created a timeless classic.

Highly, highly recommend this game!

I got severe nostalgia and emotional trauma from this game. I want to go back to being a kid, and play this game while my mom cooks in the other room. Hopefully we get to go to the Final Fantasy in the sky one day.

10/10

This is a fantastic game, this is the 3rd platform played on.

NOTE: It's only listed as Playable for Steam deck. It runs perfectly and setting up the Mopguri mod and Memoria Mod Manager is as easy as copying on line into Konsole.

A fun RPG in the final fantasy series with a flamboyant and action-packed start.

This game is great for classic Final Fantasy fans. Good characters, story, and music.

Game play speed is a little slow nowadays without mods. For that reason and more, I definitely suggest installing Memoria Final Fantasy IX Engine mod on GitHub. You can upscale the game graphics, increase frame rate to 120 fps, increase game play speed, adjust sound quality, and other tweaks. You can install other mods through Memoria such as Moguri Mod for nicer graphics assets, or other mods like PlayStation button glyphs.

Worth a play-through if you like older turn-based RPG combat with a grand story.

It's still one of the best Final Fantasy game. SQUARE ENIX, FFIX REMAKE WHEN???

one of the best jrpgs i have ever played i beat it on my steam deck one of my favorite final fantasy games and this is coming from some one who played it for the first time in the 2020's

I LOVE ALL the final fantasy games, they are games to where story, fights everything is great.
