I got severe nostalgia and emotional trauma from this game. I want to go back to being a kid, and play this game while my mom cooks in the other room. Hopefully we get to go to the Final Fantasy in the sky one day. 10/10

Awesome game runs well no issues whatsoever. I would suggest installing the moguri mod: -HD textures (worldmap, NPC, monsters, battles, UI elements) -HD backgrounds -Manual redraw of all 11k layer edges and area names -Higher framerates -Widescreen support And a ton of other stuff PS whoever added that defeat 10k enemies achievement I dont like you.

I played VII-X when they came out, and for years I was a VII fan boy. After revisiting IX in my older age, it has become my all-time favorite game. What a wonderful story, compelling dialogue, intriguing characters/npc's, beautiful music, and an absolutely breathtaking world design. This game is at #1 for me, and will probably stay there.

This is a confession for FFIX. I've been a gamer since I was young, especially of the RPG genre. I played almost every PS1 RPG game when I was a kid, and I would even replay the ones I enjoyed multiple times. I distinctly remember playing FFIX when I was very young (age confidential). Its fairytale-like style, music, and the personalities of each character left a deep impression on me. Yes, I was obsessed with this game. I don't know how to describe this feeling; I feel incredibly fortunate to have encountered this game during my most innocent and needy times. "Do you need a reason to help people?" I didn't realize until years later that this line spoken by the protagonist Zidane had become my life motto. Princess Garnet's beauty, her playful yet troubled personality, shrouded in darkness. Vivi witnessing the cruel exploitation and destruction of his people, making me furious at the time. Steiner, the serious, cute chubby guy, overflowing with a sense of justice and duty. Eiko, super cute and powerful summoner. Although I didn't seem to like her much as a child, I do now. Amarant, the powerful enigmatic figure, having him in the team added a sense of security. Quina, I envy your carefree lifestyle. Freya, you're so cool, marry me! Beatrix, the ultimate rival. The scenes of our battles still vivid in my memory, don't shock me. Kuja, are you actually male or female? xD The final boss OST still gets my blood boiling. Blank, my good brother! I've got your back in life! I've lost count of how many times I've completed this game. I played it continuously for several years, never getting tired of it. If it had been the Steam version with game time records, I'm sure I would have spent over 2000 hours, no joke. The most exhilarating moment every time is when Dagger cuts her hair short, revealing a sweet smile, and boards the airship Hilda Garde for the first time to explore the world, with the greatest BGM playing in history! I still listen to every FFIX OST to this day, even after many New Years have passed. I remember each scene corresponding to every OST vividly. No matter how many years pass, whether it's 10, 20, 30 years, or even longer, I will always love FFIX! Thank you, Square Enix, for giving me a wonderful youth and warming my life. Give me the motivation to keep going. Thank you, "Melodies of Life," for being my lullaby for so many years. KUPO! 这是给FFIX的表白。我从小就是的游戏迷，尤其是RPG类型的。小时候基本上每一个PS1的RPG游戏都玩过，并且通关，好玩的也会重玩数遍。很清楚的记得我真正去游玩FFIX的时候是非常小的时候（年龄保密）。宛如童话故事般的风格和音乐，每个角色的个性和一举一动一字一句都深深的烙在我心里。没错我着迷于这游戏了。我不知道该怎么形容这份情感，我非常幸福能够在我最天真最需要陪伴的时候接触到了这游戏。 “帮助人需要理由吗？” 没想到多年后才意识到： Zidane男主角说的这句话，竟然是我的人生信条。 Dagger公主的美貌容颜，大方调皮的性格，心中却被黑暗笼罩着。 Vivi亲眼见到自己的族人遭到残忍的利用和歼灭，令我当时火冒三丈。 Steiner认真死板又可爱的小胖子，正义感和使命感爆棚。 Eiko超级可爱又强大的召唤兽，虽然小时候似乎不怎么喜欢她，现在不会了。 Amarant强大的神秘人，有他在团队中会多增添一份安全感。 Quina我羡慕你随心所欲的生活方式。 Freya你太帅了，和我结婚吧！ Beatrix超级劲敌，当初和你对战的画面至今还历历在目，别Shock我。 Kuja其实你是男的还是女的 xD ? 最终Boss OST我到现在还会听得热血沸腾。 Blank我的好兄弟！你的人生我全包了！这游戏我通关的次数自己也数不清了，连续玩通关了好几年，就是玩不腻。如果当初是steam版，并且有记录游戏时长的话，绝对超过2000小时，不开玩笑。每次从玩最振奋人心的一幕都是Dagger剪短了头发露出了甜美的笑容，并且首次登上飞船Hilda Garde探索世界时，史上最棒的bgm响起！ FFIX的每一首OST我到现在还在听，过了好多好过年，仍然还在听。每首OST对应的场景我都记得一清二楚。无论过了多少年，10年、20年、三十年，或是更久，我都会永远爱FFIX！谢谢Square Enix让我有个美好的青春和同年，温暖我的人生，给予我活着的动力。谢谢Melodies of life当了我好多年的摇篮曲。 KUPO!
