FFIX does have good cutscenes though...
I have to agree with Caddberry there, FFIX's battle system, even though it has it's good points, is bad. I had a hard time getting used to it when i first got it about 5 years ago...well, im older now, i've beaten the final boss(despite the battle system :roll: )and i don't think there's much left to do. Square really could have done better. FFXI's battle system is cool, though, even if it does go slow at first, with the occasional flicker and freeze. However, though, my favourite battle system was probablt either the FFIII or FFVII one(yes i have played FFIII). LoL even the FFVIII one is better than FFIX. But now i've gotten use to it, and have finally started it again to master it(i do that with every game i own), and i finally am good at the battle system(phew). It's definately not a game for newbies, all thanks to the battle system. However if you are ace at FFVII, VIII and X's then you should be ok.
PS What is up with the main character(no, most of the characters)in FFIX looking so small and kiddish? Plus main character has got a huge head and looks real skinny.

No sweat Square, this isn't criticism, it's just my personal view.
 
Demons gate always caught me by surprise, cos its always straight after the red dragon fight, u never expect another fight straight after
and hes tough too
 
The characters do look a bit stupid. Their heads are too big for their bodies, thus depicting that they are not physically mature. The only two people that you actually play with that have improportionate heads are zidane and garnet. Everyone else either has their head tucked into a hat, or else covered by a massive 'fro. But there are other people in the game with improportionate heads...but who cares about that?

The only way you would ever do bad with the battle system in FF9 is if you're used to the sloppy POS systems like in FF7 and FF8. In those games, you pretty much never have to waste any time leveling up because those games are slop-through story-driven games. FF9 is hardcore. You have to work to succeed. That's how FF1 was like. You hand-tend your party into a group of badasses; no different in FF9. If you don't think it's fair or sensitive to your pansy-ass tactics in the other two FF games that EVERYONE has played (and are in fact the only reason they like FF, mind you), cry about it. I don't think square has the time to read your worthless letters that say "it's too hard" or "it's not sensitive to our needs" on behalf of ff9's battle system. What's done is done. Just because the only games you have played are the originals that came out on the PS1 does not neccesarily mean every other game in the series is like that. They can't just take one game, make a copy of it, change it around a little, repackage it, and make it even easier! What would be the marketing strategy in that?!

Yes! We basically are making a bunch of games to come for the consumer that totally suck. The only reason why people buy them is because they...totally suck at video games. They have no form of tactics inside their mind so they need simplistic crap so that we can make a buck.

I played FF9 all the way through and I was fully satisfied with the results because it was a challenging and enjoyable experience. There were minor problems, just like in everything in existence; Imperfection. But what really get me is this...the games that totally suck. What do they take us for? Morons? If I buy a game, I deserve to be challenged. What's next? A complete game which is just full of cutscenes and nothing more ----- OOOOPS!! I just spelled out xenosaga's main goal. Ugh, it just makes me sick. I will no longer participate in the delapitation of the video gamer's mind! I won't be a part of it!! Gahhh!!!

.............. -_- ............

You know what I like about you, sephiroth2000? You're really clear and factual with your opinions. You don't take random crap out of nowhere and put it into your posts. You're not interested in petty sayings that will only get you to get liked because you agree with the general conformative opinion. It really must be redeeming that you post exactly what you mean without any extra fluff only to slowly piss others off. You're not into that. And I respect you for that.

At Level 20- you have no chance(well, maybe a itsy bitsy one)
At Level 35+ you have a good chance
At Level 50+ you have a small chance of loosing
At Level 90+ you are invincible :wink: (i was level 42)
You are right, he is tough.

Thanks for respecting me, Rubicant_II.

I think exactly the same thing. I bought a game called Stronghold(it's a castle sim)and i beat it in about 2 hours, totally, at Very Hard difficulty. Even the end boss didn't put up the fight real life would. It was the same with Final Fantasy IV. Too easy by far. The greatest challenge I got from a game was probably FFI. Yes, Final Fantasy I. It is quite hard, you have to admit it.
A little quote i heard:
the first game is always the best, as demonstrated with Tony Hawks, who's sequals were nothing compared to the original
Click to expand...
Even though Tony Hawks and SWAT have nothing to do with this. Yet i totally agree, a game should be challenging enough to make up for what you spent to buy it(Stronghold was $50 blinkin dollars(NZ), and they wouldn't let me return it)and the time it took from your life. For the veteran gamer, Stronghold is a complete waste of time.
Ok, back to FFIX. It provided me with a bad battle system, but a moderate challenge, and a nice view of cutscenes. As soon as they came on my roomie shouted "grab the popcorn!" and we had a decent feast, that continued even after the cinematic was over. :lol: Hell, it was funny. Of course, the caretaker was none too pleased with us leaving the popcorn packets over the floor, forgetting he had taken out the bin.
If you want a challenge, but have no SNES, then get FF Origins. I promise, both games will keep you busy for a while!
 
It is just me or what, i actually think plenty of bosses in FFVII are damn difficult. Thats because i hate to spend time on levelupping for ages, i guess, i just dont like it it takes some much time. But i agree if you do its easy but if you play the game the fast way and just do the neccesary then they are quite in balance with your characters at that time.
 
You don't spend time levelling up? Well i understand, but i beat Emerald Weapon and Ruby Weapon on level 42 WITHOUT KOTR. Just use Clouds ultimate weapon with 4 cut materia, then Master Phoinex summon linked to Final Attack. Also use Cid and Tifa, preferbly with their B4/4 limits all, and occasionally use Megalixirs(available from the Chocobo Square;race your Chocobos). Still, levelling up is fun, after all you cannot have the full FF experiance until you have got all characters up to level 99(for a full list of FF7 must-do's, click here!(yay i can finally HTML Text!).
Enjoy!

--edit--
Sorry, i got the URL wrong =P
 
Yeah I know, but its just so d**n frustrating to spend so much time fighting the same enemies all the time, but I know its worth it though.
And I once so a movie on the internet in which someone beats Emerald in just 1.15 minutes, so cool!
I am often forced to level up though, because otherwise you simply can't beat some of the bosses. So its not that I absolutely don't, I do, I just don't like it.
 
Blimey. 1.15 minutes??? I beat it in like 15 minutes.
I understand what you mean about fighting the same enemy over and over again getting frustrating, after all i spent like 5 hours in the Northern Cave encountering Magic Pots and Movers. It was really annoying...
No, really, 5 hours. I saw on the menu :o
 
O-me-god! Thanks, Aaron, another addition to my FF7 movie list :lol:
 
Right Aaron, thanks! I thought I'd seen it on qhimm somewhere but I couldn't remember which thread, but all the credit is yours. I didn't name it to brag I just remembered. But still it's so cool, there's only thing wrong with it, he beats Emerald with Barret, and I hate Barret but it still rocks! But I do think both Emerald and Ruby Weapon are very cool bosses, first because of the rewards you get for them and second because they are so way much stronger than Ultima and Diamond which is cool because I was at a friends place once and he was playing FFVII and he had just beaten Ultima and was going like: "Mmm that was just so easy, let's go do Emerald now (he obviously hadn't read anything about him and his party was around level 50 or so.......and he refused to save, even when I kindda suggested it could be wise  :wink:, and i guess you can predict what happened next. It took just 1.15 minutes ghehe  :roll:
