At first look, what did you think FFIX was?

Honestly, when i saw all the things about Final Fantasy IX at first, i just simply couldn't believe that FF has taken such a strange turn to be a kids' game.

The point is, were you skeptical about how FFIX was supposed to turn out, with all those kiddy-style images/ characters?

I never thought of ffix as being kiddy, actually, I was quite shocked by your post, although the animation is cartoonish, the game never came off as being "kiddy" at all.

To answer your question though, it looked very interesting, I wanted to know the backgrounds of every character because they all seemed unique.

For some reason...depressed antisocials like it though :PDRUNK_CANADIAN

Thank you.

lol. I meant, my FIRST look at it. Seriously, my first look. When i saw it in Famitsu, [or was it Shonen? can't remember] with that gigantic picture of zidane. I really really really thought it was a kids' game. :lol: After getting to know more about it, i'm glad it really is an FF, and it's just the graphics that looks deceitful. 

Honestly at that time I was barely into final fantasy... ff7 got me hooked before it, and I never really got into 8 until after I played X. But IX was fun through and through for me, and made me, in turn pre-order a CE of ff12 if that makes any since.

Do we exist? Who knows maybe we dont...

This body is just a vessel...

I am just trying to get an identity (this one aint a quote its a paraphrase)

I mean like Emo beyond belief, the worst part is its not like they make it for only one character, they apply it to like the whole cast....I am surprised they didn't call Trance wrist slitting induced power boost :D

Ok i know i am being a little hypathical (dispreportionate) but the reality is the characters were identical in their common goal, and there stories were ...weird....

Plus I mean why did they make everyone midgets, do they all suffer from diseases....why do they use swords when they clearly have all this high tech knowledge, .....FFIX would have been better if it was more medieval and had a broader array of non-emo characters lol!

I believe FFIX was more along the lines of "I'm not real not the understanding of existance and purpose"

FFVII had Cloud yes, who I'll admit was pretty like "emo" but compared to a whole cast of emo characters in FFIX... I give my support to FFVII....it doesnt have the largest fan base for nothing ....

Zidane and Vivi (altough Vivi #*$!ing owned) werecompelte emos, and the princess, whos name a cant rememebr cause i changed it in the game (like Vivi's) was all i dont have an identity, i want to be a conformist, and the cast was like constantly depressed and pestimistic such as Freya, and the lil girl just #*@#ed all game

btw I never really analyzed FFVII how you just did in referance to Cloud whining over Aeris, however FFVII left most of the choice up to the gamer, plus if the princess girl (Dagger or somethingrather) in FFIX died Zidane would probably slit his wrists, sicne he basically existed for her ....well he existed for a different purpose, but ya that even makes less sense and it is not the poitn we are debating

and in FFVII despite my understanding that Cloud was yes emo-ish i found only in Advent children did he really seem like a whiney #!#$), however as explained in my other forum discussion, Cloud suffered from "lack of a definate personality"
