Item Description

Final Fantasy IX opens with a theater troupe staging a kidnapping. Zidane Tribal and the Tantalus crew perform "I Want to Be Your Canary" for the court of Alexandria while secretly plotting to abduct Princess Garnet, only to discover that the princess is desperate to escape the castle herself. It is a playful, swashbuckling start, and it tells you right away that Square's last Final Fantasy for the PlayStation is heading somewhere very different from the steel and neon of VII and VIII.

This is the series returning to its fantasy roots: castles, airships, crystals, black mages, moogles and a cast drawn with storybook proportions. Vivi Ornitier, the small, uncertain black mage asking what it means to be alive, carries some of the most moving moments in all of Final Fantasy, while the stubborn knight Steiner, the dragoon Freya, the gourmand Quina, the young summoner Eiko and the brooding Amarant round out a party of eight. Behind it all is Kuja, a theatrical villain whose schemes drag the kingdoms of Alexandria, Lindblum and Burmecia into war.

Battles bring back the classic four-member party and the Active Time Battle system, with each character built around a clear role in the old style. Abilities are learned from equipment, so a new sword or pair of boots is also a skill waiting to be mastered, and the Trance gauge unleashes a powered-up form after a character absorbs enough punishment. Active Time Events cut away to show what friends are doing elsewhere in the world, and side pursuits like the Tetra Master card game and the Chocobo Hot and Cold treasure hunt can swallow hours on their own.

Nobuo Uematsu has often named this score his personal favorite, and its themes, from the bittersweet "Melodies of Life" to the jaunty tavern and town tunes, are among the warmest he ever wrote. Series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, who produced the game, has called IX his favorite as well, and the four-disc adventure has only grown in reputation since 2000. Packed with nods to the earlier games, it plays like a love letter to everything that came before it and a fitting farewell to Final Fantasy's PlayStation years.
