One thing I loved about FF9 was that you could have different people be assigned to different controllers! My brother and I used to each take 2 characters and have a blast!

Yeah! It's a really cool feature.

The graphics are really like KH, except for the FMVs. It doesn't look that old at all! The colors and animation is pretty great. I'm at the Lifa Tree now, and I got Quina and Vivi married to each other again this time! Bwahaha.

LOL. I loved how that game could take on such serious themes and still remain so innocent and cutesy. I also loved the ATEs that you had to choose which ones to watch. Yeah, I agree that it does age very well, it still looks like it could be a current day game because of how they designed it.

[Yuri]

Oh yeah! That is fun.

It's nice playing the gamr again with everyone's original names. I remember naming Vivi 'Mystery' and Steiner 'Tinman', etc.

[Horace_Highwater]

Whenever me and my brother would play, we'd give the characters dumb names. We'd always name Steiner, Hitler though. We also would usually name Amarant, Big Red.

On a side note about names, for the longest time in FF7 we thought Red 13 was named Red 8 because I didn't understand how to read roman numerals. So it wasn't until years later when I realized his name was actually Red 13.

[Yuri]

I named him Red. xD Couldn't think of anything else..



Saw some bad ass scenes today!

[Horace_Highwater]

Wow, you are pretty far! That's like disc 3 area.

[Yuri]

Yeah, I'm at Disc 3 at the mo'. Kuja just kidnapped Eiko. I took Quina and Freya with me for a change of party! I usually have Zidane, Vivi, Dagger, and Steiner as my standard team. Needed to train Freya a bit and teach her new abilities, as well.

Dagger is a pretty bad ass female prota after she can use her summons.

[Horace_Highwater]

The boss of the next dungeon you go to to rescue Eiko is pretty interesting. I really like Quina, she has a lot of interesting moves and techniques. Her fork weapons are also pretty amusing to see her use. She is probably one of the best blue mages I've seen implemented in the FF series.

Yeah, she becomes like 100x better when she can actually use some summons.

Because Dagger is supposed to be an actual summoner while Eiko is more of a white mage with summons for some support.
Dagger's trance can be pretty good if you don't over use her summons or white magic, because her trance makes the last summon that you used (though you need to use them already in trance) attack by themselves. Meaning that if she stays in trance, the summon keeps attacking without using MP or turns during the entire battle. XDDD

BTW, go get the 2 pumice pieces, learn the ability and keep them to make the Pumice later. You will need a high level chocobo me thinks to get the second piece.
You will get the last summon, and so you can watch it's 2 MINUTES attack animation.

Freya is a pretty good Dragoon, since she has more skills besides jump. Also, one of her last skills is rather good in the eye.

Amarant is really strong when you learn certain skills.


Oh, and Mount Gulug has an awesome song.

One thing that I like in FFIX was those abilities. You can do really good combos with those.
Though it's not as OP as FFVI rings could be. (Counter + X Attack = Counter enemies at random 5 times.)
