However,I can't help wondering how much Final Fantasy IX really deserves my praise its realy a very good game to play.
User Rating: 9.4 | Final Fantasy IX PS
In Final Fantasy IX we are introduced to Zidane, who, with his nondescript features and monkey tail, probably qualifies as the strangest looking Final Fantasy hero to date. Nevertheless, he is an easy personality both to understand and to sympathize with—important qualities in a hero that we will be forced to stick with for four discs. The other main characters, however, are uneven in their development. Some, like Princess Garnet and Vivi, a young black mage grappling with the meaning of life, have large sections of the plot devoted to them and as such seem very real to us. Others, such as Freya the dragoon and Amarant, a mercenary, seem interesting but are never given enough "screen time" to fully realize their potential. The rest of the playable characters more or less fall into previously established Final Fantasy stereotypes and thus seem rather one-dimensional. There is Steiner, a general of the Knights of Pluto who ends up rebelling against his former establishment (just like Celes in Final Fantasy III); Quina, an odd genderless creature who uses blue magic learned by eating things (memories of Caitsith from Final Fantasy VII); and Eiko, a spunky child with powerful spell-casting abilities (much like Relm from Final Fantasy III or Palom and Porom from Final Fantasy II).
