I bought Final Fantasy IX the day it came out. I’ve played it at least once a year ever since. I started my yearly play through earlier today and I’ve seen 2 instances of things I’ve never seen before. When going through the Ice Cavern I hit the wind that blows through so I could fight the Wyerd’s that spawn. For the first time ever I saw that those monsters have voice lines. I wish I’d took screenshots as I can’t remember the exact words but it was something like “I ride the winds…”

Then, during the boss battle against Black Waltz 1 and the Sealion, after I stole all of the items I accidentally attacked the Sealion first, only for the Waltz to use Ice on him to heal and say “you can’t beat us”.

I can’t believe I never knew those enemies have lines of text I’d never seen before.

I love this game (my favourite ever) and even after all of this time I’m still finding something new (to me).

Part 2!

I wanted to try it out atleast one game of this franchise, and 9 is my choice.

I watched a video about all the versions off FF9, and unfortunately each version has its flaws.

I'm playing on my phone and I'm open to emulation, there's also the apk version but there's no meguro mod for it apparently

i’ve searched far and wide for an answer to this and no one seems to have provided this info anywhere on the internet. it doesn’t seem to be simple triplets so can anyone say if it’s in a 5 or 7 time signature maybe? not that this would even help probably

WRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

I need ice for my hand, I can die now.

I don't know who got to be there for Vivi at the end when he stopped moving. I like to imagine almost everyone (sans Amarant probably) made the effort to see Vivi at least once before he passed on. Hell, I'll even be super sappy and say that Zidane secretly made a trip to make sure Vivi knew he was alive.

...But even with his duty to Garnet, you'll never convince me that Steiner wasn't there for his little buddy until the end.

I started the game fresh off an FF bender, beat 4,6, 7 remakes. 16 and 8. kind of a strange order and I thought 9 looked interesting although the art style bothered me a bit. never played it and don't know what's going to happen and to be honest the first hour I was like ehh ok this is ok but strangely enough what finally got me was the atmosphere of the Prima Vista (I think that's what it's called?) crashed in the Forest. Walking around the interior with no music just the ambient noise and talking to the crewmates inside was oddly comfy and it hooked me on finishing the game. Also I'm usually turned off by characters I can tell they want you to think are cute but Vivi is just so precious this early its impossible not to love him

1. IS A LOT.

tips ? Advice ? Avoid?

im on ps1 version. abd speed up effects timer. so im sol 8[

Can't seem to find a clear answer to this but I've gone through FF9 with the Beatrix mod and I'm near the final boss. I thought I picked up, purchased and synthesized all the available equipment. But for whatever reason I can't seem to find the equipment that allows her to learn shock. As far as I'm aware the swords that would teach it are ones only Steiner can equip. Did the mod add any weapons that can teach her Shock, or am I missing one she should already be able to equip to learn it?

I've been playing the PS4 remaster on my PS5. I've played this game several times since it came out and have beat Ozma each time (two or three times PS1, once on PS4).

I know how to prep for the fight. Yes, I finished the friendly monsters quest and have the "Mister Nice Guy" trophy to prove it.

Doomsday should not be healing Ozma, but it is. I should be able to physically attack him, but I can't.

I can't seem to respawn any of the friendly monsters, which, again, I met, including the sheep on Vile Island, who once said to me, "Now you can reach the round guy!". Liar.

I've tried closing and reopening the game. I've tried "load file" instead of "continue". Several times, all with the same result.

I have to assume somewhere along the way, something weird in my save file triggered a bug that invalidated my completion of the friendly monster quest, and it seems to be irreversible.

Has anyone else encountered this? Can it happen in the PS4 version, or could this be something to do with me playing that version on my PS5? I only have one save file... Am I stuck and out of luck?

And most importantly... Am I crazy enough to actually attempt this fight with these handicaps? (I refuse to give in and use the battle assist and 9999 damage).

*More friendly monster quest side notes: 2 other glitches I encountered in my playthrough: 1) I somehow met the Yeti twice, giving him his requested treasure both times, and I didn't think that was possible, and 2) On more than one occasion, the friendly monster music would continue playing at full volume *OVER* whatever other music was happening in the game - it got stuck, and the only way to unstick it was to close and restart the app.

i just started honoring my favorite video game bestiaries w/ watercolor renditions in my style, FF IX ended up being the first - just sharing w/ those who love this game as much as i do ~

i did a cactuar, mandragora and ochu <3

Hi, just a quick question. Where do I find another dead pepper since I just used the one that Mene gave to dive for the Ultima Weapon before reaching Chocobo's Paradise. Thanks 😅

This is my first reaction video so be gentle, Echo-S breathes so much life into the game and I'm totally loving it as I played it a lot when I was young but literally everything voiced by voice actors is so much fun :D

I play DnD with a group that has never played any FF game. I’m going to adapt FF9 to a DnD setting. Will obviously have to change a few things since players may not have intrinsic plot hooks. Anyone have experience doing this?

Summons will have to be some flavor of contacting and controlling a minor deity momentarily.

Can’t wait for the party to meet the real BBEG, Zorn and Thorn

This is what I have. I was only able to reach 2 of the treasure. I couldn't reach the others. Do I just continúe playing the game ? Or am I missing osomething. Thabks for reading.

I've played 6 a few times, including the pixel remaster. I've played 8, and I've played 7 more times than I can count. I've owned 9 for years but never played it. I'm only a couple hours in so far, but I'm really enjoying it. I've watched other people play it, but that's been more than 20 years ago, so I can't wait to dig deeper into it!

I am really interested into Monster\Creature designs, and FFIX has standouts in the series, so here is my own subjective and personal tier list, from the most memorable designs, to the easily forgettable\uninteresting\ugly ones.

Would love to hear your opionions about the very undiscussed concept of Creature Design.

PS: 1. Malboro is both A-Tier and D-Tier because the "Flying Stance" Malboro I don't like, it ever only apparead in FFIX too.

I was stuck between 8 or 9 other jrpgs to play. And this 1 caught my eye. And i always wondered where Vivi came from. Seen him a lot over the years.

. And ya people were right about this game. Having a blast. Wild someone drawed all these beautiful backgrounds. Does anyone do that anymore ? And the Japanese devs and their pervy humor hah. Nevwr gets old.

and maaaaan. to play thisnback in the day. must had been mind blowing

Currently working on my new ambient video set in the city of Treno from Final Fantasy IX, currently designing up the future thumbnail. What do you think?

Channel is here: https://youtube.com/@lesmondesimpossibles?si=KuZ40r_XWm1G_qmv

Unfortunately the Tier List I found does not include the about 50 exclusive tracks from FFIX Plus. Own personal taste.

I cast it on the boss if I want to steal right ? and how long does it last ? entire match? or 1 turn ?

I keep failing at stealing from this boss 8[

So I've been playing this game for the last week and I've loved every second of it, truly a great game. There is just a couple of things about the chocobos I didn't understand.

First question: when I get out of the chocobo forest for the first time mounting the chocobo, is there any way I can get off the chocobo without the yellow point being on the minimap? It's not important but it bothers me seeing that yellow point there all day.

Second question: I've just got the chocographs for the first time and found the first pretty easily. After this, I've found three more chocographs but I think they're very far away. So the question is: how can I get to more places with the chocobo if he can't go past some cities or swim or anything?
