If you have played the others why ignore that one?? I think thats the one with that minigame called Tetra. Its a card game and youtake turns placingcards with numbers and elemental properties onto a grid board and the goal is to flip over your opponents cards and make them your own and control most of the cards by the end. Theres only like 9 spaces. The cards can interact with each other in a lot of different ways. As for the rest of the game.... its like every other FF game. FF9 was probably a precursor to FF chrystal chronicles because the characters look short round and cartoony. Im not saying thats a good or bad thing im just saying I bet it is what led to the concept of crystal chronicles. Man if you havent played FF:CC on gamecube you really should try to rent a gamecube/wii and that game. Its one of the sweetest FF games in my opinion.I will totally be envious of anyone with a Wii when CC2 drops.

final fantasy IX is one of my favorites. The story is pretty good and the characters are colorful. Its more of a cutesy game but it has some very serious moments.

You're confusing part of the FF IX card game with the card game in FFVIII.

Anyway, you should definitely get FF IX. It's definitely one of my favorite FFs.

the game itself is very fun, it's in no way my favorite at all but it's not the worst. the ending of the story made me want to punch a kitten because i thought it was really stupid, but that doesn't mean it's not enjoyable. :)

Final Fantasy IX is a classic, and I'd say it'd be in my 20 greatest games of all time. So yeah, you should buy it.

I agree. IMO it's a pretty traditional final fantasy game with a good story and great characters.

It's pretty cool. I liked it, but I played it after my 1st of the series, 7 then 8...so the graphics and lack of speech may be a turn-off to this generation of new gamers. Not saying you, TC, are, but just a head's up.

I thought it was great while other people I knew hated it. It's the good FF. Side quests, minigames, limit breaks and summons.....and an appealing story. It's very good. I probably enjoyed that more than 8.

Final Fantasy IX is my favourite Final Fantasy title after FF VII. The loved the combat system, the amazing graphics and the atmosphere. The atmosphere in FF IX is a lot better than FF VII or VIII.

Oh yeah, you should definitely play FFIX. All FF games should be played, especially 7-12.

FFIX was the first FF I everplayed, and it made me want to buy all the other ones (which I did...)

That being said, I'm pretty much sick of it by now.

But I loved it to death when I first played it, so I'd get it if I were you.

I enjoyed FF9 more than some of the other recent titles. The game is a lot of fun and I think the chars in the game are amusing. Plus you get to play as Vivi.....I mean what is any better than that!

FFIX is my favorite Final Fantasy. I had scratched discs a long time ago, and I just recently bought another copy to play it through again.

All of the mainstream Final Fantasy titles are worth playing but FFIXwas my least favourite 3-d iteration. Some people really like it though so I would say go for it

I loved it.

I bet that within time the final fantasy 7 nerds will storm this thread and tell you that ff9 was the worst game ever made blah blah.
:| I hate those...
