Final Fantasy 9 is probably one of the most controversial parts of the popular game series. As a main point of criticism is that the presentation of the game is too childish and cute. I liked a few players not. They felt not confirmed, but where part 7 & 8 so cool were unbeatable ... (and they were!) To the extent also in order, because the look of the 9th installment of the series happens in the Japanese style SD (Anime) held. Who do not like this cute style, which will not be able to get used to the game. Is halt so - a matter of taste! But what you have to say this time very clearly: The characters look much better here than in the "realistic" eighth Final Fantasy part. The graphical implementation does the cute style very good and you may not believe what you graphically can still knock everything out of the PS One now and then his eyes! Bravo. However, this takes the game off well and a lot of time to load - for example at the beginning of a struggle. The player must invest a lot of time, if he wants to play 9 to finish Final Fantasy. The character design and story of the game are also included to thoroughly positive. The warriors are all very different, funny and goodness dimensional thanks very three. Here come some of the playable characters in only in the middle of the game and see the troops in addition to the start character from a little pale. For example: Eiko tries to get between Zidane and Lilli. The plot of the game is ok. The story, however, is clearly too dark. Inappropriate for such a cute and fun game, if there a kingdom is destroyed by one. Here Square should have something loving to deal with the world "Gaia". A big compliment gets FF9 but to get you started. Until his retirement from the Petrified Forest, the game is designed really perfect. The "world-view card" takes the fairytale world then unfortunately a lot of atmosphere away. The story remains in between exciting - if, for example emerges a kind of powerful Ufo and it still gives one or the other turn ... For the finale towards the game but unfortunately something very monotonous. The fights are not switched off - the story is their price surprises. Particularly annoying: Some ideas seem to have been fully implemented. For example: there is in the game a Wind Shrine, a shrine Erd ... etc. The players themselves can not enter this however. One only sees a few sequence inside ... pretty lame. (As someone has probably already worked on X; D) If you have also fought his way as a player until the last fortress has to be said that some places are not to enter ... Here probably has Square just a few villages erased from the CD to provide more space for the endings to have. Some fun minigames way, there is also back. Especially the Chocobo Quest makes a lot of fun, because there is so much to discover and it is not too difficult either. Final Fantasy 9 is a strong game. The weakening won the Game values the part only very slightly. Playing worthwhile for fans definitely. And if you like: In the battle this time even also for two !!
