      I generally just use standard attacks for most rpg's, FF9 has some of the weakest summons and magic ever, I havent used a summon since my first playthrough. At least FF8 had GF's like doomtrain which were a great help with status effects. Most bosses in FF9 can be severely fucked up by throwing a tent on them. I always boost stats towards physical attack through equipiments and levelling up, this is the way to get through random battles the quickest.

      I imagine that the cutscene versions are the actual god/beast being summoned. In battle, you're just quickly summoning a much weaker extension of the summoned's avatar

      Well, in game Eidolens do damage based on how long their summoning animation is. In combat, the animation is normally only a few seconds long. Cutscenes last minutes.

    Part of why this game is so good is how excellent Zidane is as the glue that holds the team together. Zidane is one of the more unique protagonists in the series who already knows "who he is," when you get him. He doesn't really get too much character development throughout the game if you pay attention, but instead is the one who shows the rest of the cast what they're missing. He's the anchor and the development of the rest of the party members is because of him. It all culminates in the "you're not alone" sequence in Bran Bul where Zidane is caught in a moment of existential crisis; the party whom he has helped throughout the game, now return the favor. It's really a powerful sequence.

      One thing I really liked about Zidane being such a cocky and outgoing character was that it actually made an impact when he started to doubt himself and have that existential crisis nearing the end because it was such a notable change from how he usually acted.
      Some of the later Final Fantasies and a lot JRPGs in general opt to have a protagonist that's surly and angsty the entire time, so when something goes wrong it doesn't make as much of an emotional impact because the character was never happy to begin with.

  • @ruggie.74
    @ruggie.74 Рік тому +503

    I never realized this until now, but every single one of the characters in this game (except for Zidane) is somehow isolated or separated, in other words, they are ALONE. Zidane adopts every one of these characters (including Rusty) into his party and makes them feel wanted, validated, and a part of a new family of misfits. This makes the sequence in Terra that we all know and love just THAT much more powerful for me... He finally learns about his origins and decides to leave his family and become isolated and separated himself, as all of his friends once were, but they won't allow him to leave the group and they all beckon him the same way that he did for each of them. This game is literally unbelievable.

    This game was gifted to me by a friend in middle school who knew I was in an abusive home. He said I'd really like Vivi. I would sneak around at night to be able to play this game, silent and terrified but full of so much wonder. My abuser broke all four disc's one by one. I was only at the Tree. I was absolutely devastated to not finish it. Nearly 15 years later and the Switch edition made me sob to see. I finally got to finish it and it felt so different to finally hear the music in game. This game ment so much to me.

    Memories is another huge theme in FF9. The importance of remembering the good times, the bad times, close friends, lost loved ones, moments of hope and moments of despair. The game explores that people are not the product of their makers, but of the memories they choose to create.
    This theme of memories is one of the reasons I think the game has stood the test of time so well. Every time you play through the game again you revisit those memories. As you develop more nostalgia, the story’s themes become enhanced over and over again. It really is a masterpiece.

      Likewise, everyone in your party, and many NPCs, is/are enduring an existential crisis of one variety or another--Zidane confronted with being a genome, Vivi with being manufactured, Freya with the loss of her homeland, Garnet with the monstrous nature of her mother and the lies concerning her birth, Eiko with the loss of her family/isolation, Steiner working through his conflicted loyalties, etc---FF7 attempted to achieve the same result but the end product was far less believable, and incredibly forced with the notable exception of Cid--building on what you've noted, they're successful in staving off depression, self-loathing, despair, etc by banding together and serving as an emotional support network for one another--Zidane is there for Garnet, Viv, and Freya--Eiko for Garnet, Garnet for Eiko--Steiner helping Beatrix through the same conflicted loyalties he overcame himself.

    I remember back when FF VII came out, one of my dad's friend was playing to it at his place. A few years later, I was like "dude wtf I want that game too it's super hype". So I went to a local gameshop with my mom, and was looking for it. Sadly the vendor dude told me "sorry it's too hype it's really hard to find. But here's, like, FF IX. It's cool and stuff". I looked at the jacket and was like "that looks chidish as fuck... but ok I'll try". Around 17 years later my eyes still got wet just from hearing you mention Vivi's letter. My fucking FEELS man. FF IX is the one game that made me realize video games aren't recreation, they're fucking ART.

    Quina in a way represents the character with a fully realized purpose in life: to eat. While most of the other characters go through an existential crisis/angst there is Quina who has a known purpose and it's a good foil to say, someone like Vivi who is still trying to figure all that out and his purpose in life. Which makes it all the more interesting that they do have some wholesome interactions in the plot!

      I really like that interpretation. Vivi, who can represent the thoughts we face regarding purpose and fulfillment, is countered with Quina who abandons that worry with quick and easy gratifications. Then, when the two get married, it could be seen as symbolic, having ours concerns about purpose and of simply being, merge into one, where both are considered and accounted for.

      People that keep eating and get unhealthy represent depression. You are prey. Learning to be a predator. Learn to hunt or be too weak and get fat until you learn to take care of yourself. If you can learn to be fat and happy then great. Make the best from the worst. Just don't die at 55 when you eat yourself to death.

I also really liked 8, but it wasn't quite good enough to be in that top tier. FFIX may have been good enough, but my copy kept freezing on a certain cutscene, it was either when i was about to switch to the last disc or right after, i can't remember which, but either way i could never get it to play through it so i never got to finish the game.

No, FF9 is not underrated (check the metacritic score). Every FF up to the PS2 since the SNES was objectivity great on the innovation and execution metric.

      Honestly though this is basically the same for all the PSX-era Final Fantasy games outside the "ultimate" level optional bosses.
      The best strategy ends up being just spamming attack and throwing out the odd Healing spell.
      I feel like FF9 did a good job splitting the difference between FF7's and FF8's combat and equipment systems, but it basically ends up the same way.

    @kozag-realityauditor7075 4 роки тому +195

    One of the other big themes in this game that I loved beside 'life and death' was also about finding yourself and place in life
    every character when you first meet them more or less exists in a 'fake it till you make it' sort of existence, no one has defined personal goals or really understand what they want out of life.
    Steiner is in love with the Ideal of what a knight is, but only becomes knightly when he abandons the ideal and starts to fight to protect others and for a cause he believes in
    Vivi is aimlessly existing at the start of the game, and not until he understands the limitations of his own existence does he really begin to live
    Garnet is trying to run away from allot of things but has nothing to really run towards, and through the adventure sheds her naivety and romanticised world view in order to become a ruler
    Zidane is playing the part of the 'rogue' and more than anyone else he's just there for the lul's, it's not till he discovers the horror of his roots that he finally has direction, dropping the idea of 'chasing tail' in exchange for embracing his alien heritage and reconciling with the plots villain because he's family.
    Freya begins by existing as an extension to her 'love' defining herself as only auxiliary to him, overtime learning to live for herself as an individual with her own legend to write.
    Eiko, when you first meet her is in an utter state of self delusion, playing at some notion of 'house' and rejecting the truth of her age, and the loss of her people, while she never really gains a proper motivation outside of 'kill those clowns' she does come to terms with her own reality and her place in it.
    hell even quinna to an extent has an arc of chasing food for his own pleasure before learning to share that culinary knowledge with everyone else as head chef,.
    Amerant, as late as that arc is introduce, gets to learn that no one is an island unto themselves, which quite impressively is reflected in his Trance by gaining the ability to affect all allies at once with his support skills rather than just 1 at a time.

      No where near best FFs but still a really cool game.

      FF6 is by far the best.
      FF4 is up there too.
      This one is 3rd in my opinion. But the overall story is probably equal to 6, it’s just 6 had way more extra stuff and more storylines to make it better

    I played 7,8,9,10 and 13 when they were contemporary. Going back to 7, 9 and 10 in recent times their thought provoking themes have aged so well. Somehow I never understood 10 when I played it first time round, but when I replayed it recently it knocked me to the floor at times. I misunderstood it so badly back in the day 😅

    Despite 9 having a cute exterior, the themes and story are more mature and dark than 7 or 8. 6 is still the bleakest I don't care what you say.

    • @redX111t
      @redX111t 3 роки тому +66

      6 is bleak but the older games had more random humor, 5 being probably the most goofy of them. 9 was a tribute for the older final fantasy games, with castles, black mages and a lot of other small details.

      7 and 9 were dark in an odd way: you're taking the "immortal souls" of previously living beings, more or less taking people out of heaven, simply to burn their deserved immortality for fuel.

      @@kohlrak Ain’t that technically what we’re already doing irl by taking out decomposed corpses and fossils of both humans and animals, that turned into a dark goop of highly reactive matter called “petrochemicals” or “petroleum”.
      Then going all the way as to pump thousands of gallons of “dead people fuel” out of deep, deep into the earth’s crust under the oceans and lakes, with giant super-advanced machines called “oil-rigs”. Then, after sucking the life blood out of dead souls, we sens off the carbon/lifesource goo off to be refined and transformed in literal giant magitek/shinra like facilities, where we pump hundreds of thousands of giant boats and trucks full of them, off to distribute the transformed magical corpse-goo to be distributed to… the people. Who then pump their cars full of it, their mini trucks full of it, their private jets and limousines. Then proceed to make all sorts of plastic shenanigans out of it in sweatshop factories, then make tons of fake rubber duckies out of the dead-souls-goo to give babies around the world, when in reality all the process to make said toys is founded upon the destruction of the ecosystems which sustain life for, ya know, real ducks, birds, eagles, flamingos, parrots, etc.
      Sounds like another dystopian video game sequel, am I right? That’s our world. XXIst century. That’s why both 6, 7 and 9 were heavily influenced by environmental groups and movements going on around the world, hell even AVALANCHE stands for an radical “environmental terrorist” association, the likes of greenpeace on steroids. Ever since the 70’s/80’s started the bleak realization that we were killing our own planet slowly since the 1800s industrial revolution by extracting up its literal life source, dead cadavers should naturally go on to help fertilize soil and make new life directly, carbon is at the source of all life, even after death… not be burned up for influencers to go and fly on private jets and wasteful deluxe cars way too big for themselves. Let alone used to make plastic figures of animals/espers of nature that will inevitably go extinct, it’s crazy.
      Guess the machiavellian antagonist in this timeline is… Trumpus was defeated, so I’m sure he’s more along the lines of Kuja or Rufus, a crazy megalomaniac with little sense of morality and a disregard for the value of human life or natural life. A pawn in the game, not the main antagonist. I’m still waiting for the real one to show up someday, a small group of really psychopathic people that pull on the strings of everything related to the petrochemical destruction of all species, including ours. Who are they? And who are the heroes willing to oppose them publicly, putting their livelihood on the line for what they deem right? Can’t wait for the FF2022 sequel.

    thank you for this absolute video, you're the best for bringing up my childhood memory in such a funny way and catching the best parts of this game. I was like 10 years old the first time playing this, there wasn't google translate and english is not my first languange, so i was kinda played the game without really understood the story line. When i was older i decided to play it again and enjoying the story line. The first time i finished the game I didn't realize that Vivi died in the end. The second time i finished the game and knew Vivi died, i was crying so hard like i was losing a family. Damn, that hit me hard.

There was so much powerful things coming out of this game that I fell in love it, it was also one of the reasons why I was able to find my g/f too. She and I love this game together and we even cosplayed as Zidane and Garnet and embrace the characters so much that it's become apart of our lives (we both have their names on our home team's jerseys so when we go to baseball games together we always wear them). This video was not only well thought out and funny but it really nails it completely for everything IX represents! I've played this game at least 15 times across all the different platforms (minus X-Box). I still have my original copy from when it first came out and I also collected the original japanese and europe copies as well to keep in my collection along with the artwork books and soundtracks. Thank you so much for making this! I love it!!
