Slowness.
Comfiness.
Good music.
All around probably the best game in the series along with vii.

play it like you would read a good book.
Combat is slow for some people but really doesn't matter.
Explore areas you are in especially when you get to your first open map area.
enjoy the lovable characters.

A classic, beloved by most of the fanbase.
One of the last good stories in a FF.
11/10 OST.
Slow battles and easy difficulty overall are it's most commonly agreed upon flaws.

You'll love it man, you'll think about FFV a lot because it has that same classic FF feel, and the humor, etc.

herp if you know how to play books that is, book controls suck.

the OTP to end all OTPs

this

Pretty good, but god damn are battles slow.

btw has anyone made a patch to replace the mobile UI on the pc version with the original yet?

I hope you like grinding

one of the most polished games

play 6 and 7 first.

grinding to get skills out of a gear to get new gear to grind some more

>grinding
that's like every rpg

>What am I in for?
The best FF you have ever played.

FF9 also has the best disc artwork of any game ever. Just thought I'd point that out.

Not FF, actually. Most square games after FF5 don't need grind at all. I sub 20 hour FF6 and sub 10 FF7. This is just the exception and not the rule.

I didn't grind in 9 when I first played it. Relied on abilities that took little to no time at all to learn.

Very impressive use of the PS1 hardware. Very meaningless cast though. Seriously you'll like some of them a good bit, but you can very easily write out all but 3 characters from the story with almost no impact.

Also Auto-everything that heals and you win.

>that fucking guide

Still have mine somewhere.

youtube.com/watch?v=gJVF7_tu1Io

Battles that take 30 seconds to fucking start.

Play it on an emulator with fast forward for a better experience.

Furshit.

It's like 10 seconds.

Mediocre game. You skipped the 2 best ones btw. (6 and 7).
>play it like you would read a good book.
FF9 has shit writing.

>6
>best ones

Ah, this meme is still going.

You're gonna have a real good time.

Remember to cast Slow on bosses, it actually fucking works.

the best final fantasy game

PLAY IT ON STEAM OR SUFFER THE HORRID PS1 LOAD TIMES

you have been warned

also why the fuck did you play 13 but not 6, 9, 10, or 12 yet?

>You skipped the 2 best ones btw. (6 and 7).

But that's not 4 and 5, you fucking retard.

5 is goodt but 4 is average in every sense of the word

Yeah the order in which I've played the FF games is a little funky. Now that I'm stuck with all the time in the world and nothing but an Android phone, I should be able to knock all the classics off. I'll play FFX&X-2 when I get a laptop.

4 used to be so revolutionary for its time, nostalgia's probably talking for me.

best OTP in all vidya

Why do 90% of acquired Quina spells always miss? Am I doing something wrong?

it is honestly, I tried replaying 4 and couldn't get passed the part where the monk kingdom gets ransacked, just so boring compared to later FF, even the other 2 on SNES

they usually require a certain condition to work, press select on the ability selection screen to see

Says he about the game that sits between 8 and 10.

I'll admit I haven't played the original SNES game in a very, very long time. Last time I gave this game a playthrough, it was the DS version with the original japanese difficulty. Good stuff.

you can really sink alot of hours into finding all the zodiacs or mini games bro. Have fun and take your time.

Kweh. Kweh. Kweh. Kweh. Kweh!? Kweh!? Kweh!? Kweeehhh!? Kweeehhh!? Kweh!? Kweh. Kweh!? Kweeehhh!? Kweeehhh!? Kweeehhh!? Kweeehhh!? Kweh!? Kweeehhh!? KWEEEEEEEEHHH!!! Depth: 54 Depth: 43 Depth: 32 Depth: 21 Depth: 10 TIME'S UP

VAMO ALLA FLAMENCO!

this whole post along with the music sounds like the weirdest porn scene

>FF9 has shit writing.
way better and more coherent than 10 or 13

I didn't mention story I said play it like you would read a book, meaning take your time and enjoy.

this

it's also the last ff that used this type of grahpics with background sprites and they got pretty good at it at this point. i like 7 but this is the best in the series. replayed it once a cpuple years ago and just recently againe. holds up.

some were just pretender as well, like the bell with the trapped moogle

>13
>bad story
I'm sorry you're retarded, user

(you)

haha oh user

it's shit play 6,7, and 8 instead

if he wants to avoid shit then he should avoid 8.

>8

fuck off

not even close

the first 3 don't count since they were proto-jrpgs

IV, VI and XIII are the worst 3

but user, 13 is good. not god tier, but good.

>6

(you)

(you)

It's good.

Remember to train hard though have the right abilities for the last bosses. I am stuck on them currently, and I'm gonna have to grind a couple hours until I have the level to beat them with my final 4.

Not my fav FF but it's not bad in any respects.

oh user

give me 5 reasons why 13 is shit.

(you)

1. it sucks
2. i hate it
3. you sound like a fag
4. your shit's all fucked up
5. it's shit

You're about to move V to the place of second-best as you experience the best FF game ever made, IX

1.combat system sucks, which doesn't build on its self.
2.leveling tree is a joke, might as well not have it there and just do it like the classic final fantasies.
3.story is narcissistic garbage.
4.Hallways with no room to actually explore
5.Awful characters.

>i cant think of a legitimate reason
or
>i havent played it but other people hate it so i do too

You're in for a Disney Movie Tier videogame.

Kuja is not the final boss.

the combat system was good, made you think and strategize instead of grinding and killing everything with attack/high level magic.
the leveling tree wasnt bad, grindy, sure, but you could actually cap out faster than most other ff games
>story sucks
this is a meme.
the level design wasnt that bad. not the best, but other ff games were similar, mainly X.
the characters werent noteworthy, sure, but they were by no means awful.

Oh fuck off. You're clearly just a waifufaggot

>the combat system was good, made you think and strategize instead of grinding and killing everything with attack/high level magic.
horeshit, this took the least amount of thinking, just go ravage then commando, all it was even less than the originals since attacking was taken from you.
>the leveling tree wasnt bad, grindy, sure, but you could actually cap out faster than most other ff games
no it was pointless, it didn't raise your character in specific stats it just generalized with stats and said hey you get this magic move withit.

>when people disagree with me it's a meme meme.
the entire story was so focused on those awful characters it left most important world building info on the side. It was all shitty drama and the characters were all awful.

A great game, loveable characters and amazing music.

Make sure you explore as much as you can, I mean everywhere there are hidden items and cards all over.

>book controls suck.

>using my thumb to turn next page is hard
This is how dumb you sound, books are easy mode, its the difficult text and big words that hurt my brain.

that's why they suck you casual!
I bet you couldn't handle a popup book

nope. im not attracted to cartoons.
you literally cannot survive some attacks, even maxed without sentinels, you need medics to heal, buffing/debuffing are all major parts of all boss fights.
the leveling tree gave you plenty stats.
>i want a story that isnt about the characters in the game
and i want hitler to come back to life and kill of mudslimes and niggers but that wont happen either.

good, he was a huge literal faggot

I wasn't 12 when I played it

Guys guys, the correct answer is
7 and 9 are best
4 and 5 are second best
6 is third best.

12 isnt what were discussing, user.

>leveling tree
o i am laffing.

Let us know when you want to play an actual RPG, little man.

Should i buy VII or VIII for PS3? Same price.

>and i want hitler to come back to life and kill of mudslimes and niggers but that wont happen either.
not with that attitude.
to beat the game all you need is ravager and Camando and one healer who can cast poison. That's all you need
The story only focused on the characters to a point that it was bad fanfiction. Nothing else was going on but these guys and they were the center of the world, which makes bad writing.
The leveling tree gave you stats so basic so casuals can understand it, this is why the leveling system sucks. It's all crap.

I would put 6 up there with 7 and 9
when you suplex a train you are on a whole other level.

Do you need help understanding what an rpg is? By definition, jrpgs ARE rpgs.
You need more than 2 roles to beat the game, already explained this.
There were plenty of wheels turning, but yeah, big surprise that it focuses on the characters you play as. who wouldve thought?
the stats were basic, sure, but thats all you needed. the real depth lies in acessory/weapon combinations for synthesized abilities.

Is VIII really, genuinely that bad, or is it just a meme Le Spoony started? I'm looking at all these FF games in PlayStation Store and i think i just might not be able to handle VII's bobblehead visual style.

like at all

its not bad, but it has its downfalls. the junctioning system is silly, and the game punishes you for leveling up. apparently thats fine in other games, like the last remnant, but once FF does it its a travesty. dont expect it to be groundbreaking, however.

Get ready to be mad as fuck at the Trance system, it really is retarded

Amazon has the original FFIX for $15 fyi.

emuparadise has it for $0

>What am I in for?
The best adventure in your life.

>the real depth lies in acessory/weapon combinations for synthesized abilities.
no it doesn't because there is no need to make new accessories when you can just level up one, there was no insentive.
The only active wheels turning was main characters whining. There was no story but a shitty fanfic. play a real rpg then come back and talk about depth, pokemon had more depth than this trash.

you can upgrade them, yes. but specific accesories belong to a different group. for example, equipping 4 kaiser knuckles will make you immune to physical damage, you dont get that if you use the power glove which is a step lower.
I dont usually post spoilers, but heres one. Primarch dysley being a fal'cie was a pretty big one. Did you skip the cutscenes or something? or did you just not make it that far?

>Primarch dysley being a fal'cie was a pretty big one. Did you skip the cutscenes or something? or did you just not make it that far?
did you notice that it was only important when it only effected the maincharacters? did you notice that the only time MCs do talk about something else that is world building it has to be about them and how it hurt them, everything out of their mouths was, it allll about meeeeeeee!
it was a no brainer he turned out to be one, everything around them was a Fal'Cie, who gives a fuck. I know decent writing alludes you since your in tress are on cappy anime fanfiction. Do yourself a solid and read something that wasn't written by kaizer_cloudMega_sonic1999.

Not my favorite FF game but probably my favorite characters.

Most of the game you spend away from other people, and when you do go around other npcs, they do comment on whats happening. like when the monsters are invading eden near the end of the story. people tend to focus on whats happening at the present moment.

most games can take the attention away from the Main cast for a few scenes and show a big bad scheming, or show a world event that doesn't effect the party yet but will later. This is called foreshadowing. That is how you make a good story, not make up the story as you go. Might as well call it Bleach.

Empty world and furfags

now there is your meme

they do this. not exactly away from the main characters, but when the parties split up, swapping back and forth between each parties adventures. sorry it isnt in your particular flavor.

Why not make it a square and add 12?

it's still focused on the maincharacters you simplton.
They only talk about how they were hurt by their past blah blah blah I wanna get stronger. Then bad guy shows up and plot development happens only when it affected the main cast there and then.
Might as well just call this "the world revolves around these guys" the game.

spare yourself from 4 discs of boringness and play 6 instead

this may be shocking to you, user, but there isnt one game that doesnt revolve around the main characters.

>He hasn't played the zodiac version

12 is good without the license system and the bullshit chests
