Welcome to the complete story of Final Fantasy IX, the game that paid homage to all that had come before it and returned the Final Fantasy series to its roots in high fantasy. Originally released all the way back in 2000, the game, which was the last of the PlayStation 1 generation Final Fantasy games, was overshadowed by the new and shiny PlayStation 2. Since then, however, the game has re-emerged from the mist of history as one of the most beloved entries in the series, and for good reason. The story of the game features an intricate plot with multiple viewpoints that deal with love, loss, loyalty, lechery, life, and probably some other things that begin with a different letter. Oh, and also there’s jump rope.

    I'll never understand why...but this is my favorite game of all time. With 30+ years of gaming....
  • @randomuser1161
    It's more than 20 years that I have played this game as a kid. No idea what this game was about and never heard of the Final Fantasy series before. The story, characters and soundtrack will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for letting me go back in time and experience some emotions I had as a kid. What a great video!
  • @c.k.mcknight8921
    This game feels so underrated at times. It's my favorite Final Fantasy game. The emphasis on finding the place where you belong really speaks to me, and the scene on Terra where Zidane has forgotten who he is and his friends tell him, one by one, what he means to them makes me tear up even now, just thinking about it. We've all had those moments. And no matter how strong we may be, we all need a little help sometimes. And you don't need a reason to help people.

    FF7-10 were truly a golden age. Banger after banger. 7 was my first on PS1. Each of these still makes me happy to remember.
  • @dreamer6737
    FFIX is the the complete FF experience. Every aspect of the game is top notch. VII may be the most popular one, but IX is the most FFish FF game ever made.

    The best Final Fantasy there ever were.
  • @lomaxa99
    I'll never understand why this insanely amazing epic story hasn't been converted into a movie yet! So good!
  • @JonathanKoops
    This is fantastic! That intro gave me chills! Especially the prima vista stage shot! I can’t believe how much you covered in such a short amount of time! ❤️
  • @2ndMess
    So, I finally beat this game 10 years ago after many attempts since it's debut and I can't believe how much I forgot about this story, especially the ending. Thanks so much for the nostalgia. Now, I'm inspired to end more of the series. I still have 5, 6, 7, 10, and 15. Here we go! These games are epic
  • @pizzalogic4477
    I love how much work you put into this. Fantastic job with retelling the story, the music ques, and everything else. Great to revisit after not playing the game for like a decade.
  • @S0LIDSNEK
    When this game came out I had the date decked out with doodles in my middle school daily planner. Even in 7th grade I was daydreaming for weeks waiting for this game to come out. I still remember it came out on a Friday and it was the longest week ever. Gonna replay it this week.
  • @justinhasnoloveforem
    They really could have made a 60+ episode anime of this. And it would have worked perfectly. Even the "Garland infused bizarre-ness", that composed most of the endgame. IX was awesome!!! Thanks for the upload and recap!!!
  • @akiinmoonlight79
    that intro !!! 😭😍❤ ~ another perfect video that captures the soul of the story 💕🛐
  • @kevinpernod9336
    Playing this now for the first time. Remastered on PS4. For a game 24 years old they did a great job. The game is amazing so far.
  • @LittleMissLanna
    I played this in 2001 and I remember the memory card corrupted JUST BEFORE the final area. While I did read summaries and watch the end cutscenes, I never did a whole summary from start to finish until now! But with FF14's expansion that just came out, I've been inspired to remember it all again. Thank you for this!
