FINAL FANTASY IX

Played this game as a kid, and the steam version is very much as fun, but this time with more clean graphics and gameplay

Get the Memoria Engine mod and play this right now! 120fps FF9 is something everyone should experience at least once in their lives, and with the various other excellent mods ranging from gameplay overhauls to visual overhauls, you'll definitely want to experience it some more.

One of the best Final Fantasy times from the golden age of RPGS. Great story, incredible cast of characters, crazy challenging mini games and super bosses. I love that everyone has their own unique jobs and abilities that tie into the story. Summoner isn't just a job it is part of the lore of the world. If you have never played, what are you waiting for?

just truly one of the best final fantasy games when it comes to story and music. a fan favorite that holds up beautifully, after 7 and 8 this game brought back the high fantasy roots and straight up knocked it out of the park 10.9/10

regardless of bugs this is still the BEST final fantasy !!!

super charming game , the reminder of good 90s jrpg

find the Memoria mod(available on github), and grab the moguri mod inside the launcher. it makes the game feel how you remember it.

Look, I'll say it here. I didn't enjoy this as much as the other Final Fantasy games I played thus far. Maybe it was the art, maybe the characters, maybe the constant switching of party members maybe the pacing of battles, I'm not too sure. But I will say that doesn't mean this isn't a great game or a great port. I went without the Moguri Mod everyone talks about just because I wanted to keep achievements, so barring that, it still looks great after 20 years, the progression mechanics work well, the sidequesting is great. It's still a great entry in this series.

Its FF9 what more is there to say. Get the Moguri mod and play the game as if it looks as good as you remember. Because it truly does.

Every main-series Final Fantasy has been a masterpiece of contemporary narrative gaming, and FFIX was no exception. Of the series there are a few which have withstood the test of time, and FFIX has to be in the top 5. Now with built-in enhancements for the less patient modern gamer (e.g. speed x3 toggle), added to the insanely deep yet optional Memoria patcher and assortment of mods, the game's replay value for OG players has gone through the roof.

10/10

I don't like any other final fantasy game other than this one.....and ff tactics lol. The story is dope,love atb combat, Characters are fleshed out and progress through the story. Theres mods to make the game look better and add-ons etc. Having first played this game on ps1 the steam version is for the win.

good port new quality of life features, mods are fun to play

Didn't expect this to become my favorite FF. Beautiful story and beautiful ost. Great casts. The encounter rate is not annoying and the combat is solid. Used Moguri and the game ran, look, and played great.

Had some problem with crashes but only happened during auto-grind.

You know when you're making a review for a piece of media that is so good that you don't even make any jokes? Yeah, Final Fantasy IX is phenomenal.

Returning to its routes as a medieval fantasy, FF9 is an experience I can't find the words for.

9/9. Awesome game.

The best and truest of Final Fantasy games. It is truly one of a kind and stoked so much of the creativity in my younger years that would go on to develop my taste in media today. Incredible soundtrack, story, characters, and gameplay.

It is one of the greatest Final Fantasy titles ever made. The quintessential Final Fantasy experience.

I always love FF series. and 9 is quite a classic jrpg.

This game has become even better after getting Moguri Mod with Alternate Fantasy

one of the best final fantasy titles ever . especially with the muguri mod

Save your money. This game is not for sale. This game is "for lease" only. Hence, you don't own it and never will.

FF9...not just my favorite FF, but my favorite game ever. No other game keeps me coming back, and yet still excites me like a brand new game, entertains me like a classic novel, makes me laugh like a brilliant comedy or moves me like a touching love story.

I adore many titles in the series, and although I may have more specific, deep nostalgia for other Final Fantasy games, I believe Final Fantasy IX is truly one of the most specially crafted, beautifully touching narratives in the entire series.

The amount of sincerity brings me to tears as much as it warms my heart. Nearly the entire cast, including side characters, is so fully realized that it still brings later titles and AAA games to shame.

One of the things I found to be unfairly judged at the time of its original release was the soundtrack and it's use of recycling themes or melodies too often. I hope that's not still a serious critique today; the core of its heart stems from said melodies. Perhaps the back to back releases of Final Fantasy games at the time left some people feeling Nobuo Uematsu's style bleed together too much? Although he certainly has a signature style, I find the FFVII-X era distinctive in their tone and approach.

The series use of orchestrated music for the first time, which played within each CGI cutscene, gave me goosebumps then, and evokes similar feelings today. It certainly helps this game in the "PS1 trilogy" especially standout. I still hum or sing Melodies of Life to this day as well.

I challenged myself to finally go for the 100% achievement completion. Doing so opened my eyes to such a complete experience. I'm so grateful to have finally taken the time to fully break through even the most infamous challenges not only here but with the entire series (hello jump rope). Having to defeat 10,000 enemies for an achievement was just mind numbingly stupid, however. If you're interested in doing the same, please be aware nothing you accomplish that stacks carries over to different new games/saves.

I don't want to really dig into spoilers because it is such a raw, pure experience, and everyone deserves to jump into it blind as they can. I hope my passion for FFIX comes through well enough. Just know that Vivi is a darling that must be protected at all costs. <3

I wholeheartedly recommend installing the Moguri mod before starting the game. I would say it is an essential step to appreciate it in modern hardware and sensibilities. It works flawlessly on Steam Deck as well.

Whether you're a already a seasoned fan of RPG's or are looking to just get into them now, this should definitely be a contender for your next playthrough! The creator's were at the peak of wearing their heart on their sleeve, just wanting to gush more and more within each passing moment. Perhaps you'll feel that positive energy and spread it back out yourself. :)

1. very good game but I just can't stand the random encounter system of the old era games and also the game is not voiced.

2. played for few hours and than watched the rest of the playthrough of this game on youtube as I just couldn't invest 1 month of my time playing this game.( if played 2 hours a day, it will take 25 to 30 days to finish/complete this game)

3. When i was little, I could just happily invest 80 to 100 hours on playing any Jrpg game and not get tired or bored of it, but now I can't even play a 10/10 game for even 2 hours straight or in one seating before getting burned out or bored.

4. In this game, there are some mini game-like puzzles, there is no difficulty modifier available, bosses are hard and if you do not properly manage your party, you will die a lot.

5. must play for final fantasy or any jrpg genre fans.

6. Must play this game with moguri mod installed.

7. only buy on sale, as you should not give full price for a 24 year old game.

So much content in a game that came out in 1999. One of my all time favorites. good luck getting to 100%

Final Fantasy IX is my favorite Final Fantasy game, but it could be because it was my first. I decided to buy the game on Steam as I was hearing so many things about the Moguri mod and it really helped polish out the somewhat dated graphics (remember, this game came out during the era of the original Playstation), For those that haven't play the game, after the futuristic feel of VII and VIII, IX goes back to basics and has more a medieval feel. The story as a whole is pretty fantastic, but I also loved the personal backstories of all the characters, especially Vivi.

Definitive version. install moguri mod. You wont believe how gorgeous this game looks and feels!

Always felt this game was a lot of fun. In my top 3 Final Fantasy games for sure.

This game is the Final Fantasy of PSOne era that had combined the best of the best from the series delivered so far. Steam version is a version that deserves your time and you can also mod this game very easily to meet modern day standards.

Best Final Fantasy in the franchise. An exploration of self, being, and personal values set in a world that 20 years later still looks great.

Wish I played this when I was 14! Its amazing, and I slept on it for far too long.

The only Final Fantasy I'd ever played was 14, the MMO (which I love) - and I always thought the general gameplay of the others wouldn't appeal to me. I finally caved to a friend's pressure and tried IX, a little apprehensive at first. Turns out that while it's by no means a perfect game, some of the graphical stuff is a little outdated (there are mods for that) and some stuff like that - it's an incredible oldschool gaming experience with compelling characters, tons of stuff to do, and that now-forgotten treat of hidden storylines, puzzles, and sidequests leading to powerful encounters and gear.

In short; I loved it.

最终幻想系列中，9是回归正统的一代，魔法，友情，爱情的故事，比起7代，9代画风脱离蒸汽朋克风格，更接近魔幻风格。主题更加没有那么沉重，战斗系统也是中规中矩，总体是正统JRPG。很值得一玩。

BEST of The BEST

Go play with the Moguri mod NOW. It's the best remake.

An old game that's aged extremely well. It's definitely a bit more streamlined and easy in the beginning, but that's not a bad thing - the whole game feels like an old storybook in the best way. There are some difficulty spikes near the end, bosses that are tricky, old content that hasn't aged well mechanically, but it's much friendlier than FF8 despite coming out around the same time. There's a very real magic to seeing all of the crazy shit they were able to pack onto a PS1 - the remake punches up the visuals on the textures while still keeping them in the spirit of the game which I really enjoy. It runs much better than other Final Fantasy remakes that I've played!

Really, really glad I got around to this one. I don't play a ton of long games these days, but this game has a lot of style and character that's easy to be charmed by.

In my opinion, this is the best Final Fantasy game from the PlayStation days. It has an amazing story, awesome combat, and updated graphics. Plus, there are mods you can use to make it even better. I’d give it a 10/10 because you really fall in love with the characters!

Bit of a Gizamaluke of a game, but it's otherwise ok. The most on-rails Final Fantasy I've ever played, without a doubt.

Played it with moguri mod, feels like a whole new game.

Still one of the best FF out there.

First played this game as a kid and really enjoyed the the journey and story of each character. FF9 was the first FF game i ever played and will always be special. I'm still really hoping for an epic remake!

Great game, the graphism and gameplay are top notch, I didn't get bored a single minute hehe

The best game ever made.

With only 2 flaws:

Secondary character development is lacking, and ATB system is a bit slow.

an excellent game that came out near the end of the PS1 life cycle, and the birth of the PS2 and FFX coming out didnt let this game get the attention it deserved. It is definitely one of the best Final Fantasy games made, and is certainly worth a look

This is the greatest game that I have ever played. As my 2nd final fantasy, (1st turn based game), this game blew me away. The amazing story, the diverse cast of characters, even the sidequests are good. Nothing will ever beat the way i felt after beating this game for the first time.

This would be my 2nd time beating this game and 1st time doing all of the sidequests. Playing with moguri mod is HIGHLY recommended because of the up-scaled pre-rendered backgrounds and better looking FMVs. I will never not recommend this game for people trying to get into the JRPG scene.

One of the Classic FF experiences. FFIX has an awesome story line as well as a great soundtrack. It does feel like it runs a bit slow but it was released on the PlayStation, so it has some age as far as games are concerned. Overall 10/10 recommend.

One of the most epic, rich story and most fun FF games ever made!!

Superb experience especially when you add the Memoria Mod, much much better. It makes it modern leap with that mod.

1 of thee best Final Fantasy games next to X / X2
Even with Moguri Mod installed runs insanely good.

Looked like how I remembered it as a child.

What to say. Honestly this game is what Final Fantasy hoped to be in every aspect. The characters, the gameplay, the plot is all top notch. I will add though that the minigames are not the best in the series. In fact, I would go far as to say they are the worst. But besides that, this game is a must for FF enthusiasts and RPG lovers.

This game is amazing. (It says I have only 7 hours, but I have beaten the game before on another platform, so I know what I'm talking about.)

The characters are lovable and deep, and the world is captivating. The world feels like something from a dream, due to all the unique life and fantasy aspects, and especially all the references to older Final Fantasy games. The soundtrack is great, and even common tracks can invoke a lot of emotion.

The game has a few problems, such as the combat being rather slow, as well as having a lot of easily missable items. But for how rich and captivating the story is, it's all worth it.

I give this game a 9/9. Definitely give it a try, whether this is your first Final Fantasy or not. But it's definitely more enjoyable if you've played the previous games, because you'll catch some of the many references this game makes.

This is my most treasured game, I am so in love!
My father first intrroduced me to the story ~13 years ago and ever since i start a playthrough every year. I have this game for pretty much every console (minus Xbox), I am obsessed (more or less literally lol)
The stories and characters have me in a chokehold of warmth and despair, their journeys and growth ever inspiring and helping me to keep on, hold on and push through and take time to breathe. They taught me a lot

I can only recommend to play this game, you will laugh and cry.
the world building is great, the references to previous games from the Final fantasy series are fun easter eggs to further sweeten the experience, tho it's just as good to play as an introduction to the series

Much love and have fun<3
