    EDIT: Before you post, google how to pronounce Zidane before being wrong and embarrassing yourself. Exhibit 2: Check out Final Fantasy Dissidia sometime.
    In January 2015 I uploaded the original FF9 RECAPitation, however after three and a half years of no issues, UA-cam bots suddenly flagged, claimed, and took down the video. I have re-recorded the script, re-edited the video, and uploaded it in HD (so here's hoping it stays up this time). Thank you for your patience with the interruption to my existing production schedule, and please re-share the newer, better-quality version in case you have it linked somewhere.

      Notice how the villains in FF9 die regretting their decisions in life. They wished they lived life full of love and companionship, instead of pursuing hollow dreams of power.
      Also interesting how Brahne is comforted by Garnet and Kuja by Zidane.
      Death is tragic and unavoidable, but it also brought them true appreciation of life.

    Great recap! During my 1st play though Necron seemed to come out of nowhere. I remember it felt weird and kind of confusing for Kuja to be the main antagonist for most of the game and then at the very end you fight some other character who was never mentioned throughout the story who seems to just appear out of nowhere... I still feel it would’ve made more sense for Kuja himself to just clearly transform into Necron.. to me at least that way the last boss will have more of a logical connection to the main antagonist of the game.

    • @milemile4813
      @milemile4813 3 роки тому +5

      But Kuja saves you from the implosion that happens when the party defeats Necron. So it wouldnt make more sense. But yeah, i agree. Necron is basically a wtf moment. A large part of the games lore is wtf for me, but i guess every ffs lore is a bit wtf 😆

    • @michaelcristello8543
      @michaelcristello8543 2 роки тому +5

      Man I totally agree with this. The necron part always bothered me. I think I just rewrote the story in my head and eliminated necron all together, and made kuja my final boss. Or in the very least have necron and the rest of those beasts as summons that kuja couldn't control 🤷‍♂️

      @briancroyle9388 2 роки тому

      I agree, this is why IX has always been one of the weaker final fantasy games for me. Whereas VII did a good job of building up to the idea that Cloud is not who you think he is they really seemed to drop that in with Zidane at the last minute. Also Kuja's motivations make little sense as he wants to assert his independence from Garland and prove that he is more than just a tool with an expiration date by doing exactly what Garland wanted? Most of his decisions seem to be "so the game can happen" and lack consistency.

    Vivi is one of the best characters in the entire Final Fantasy series. His influence is ultimately why I played it through multiple times over the years. Although, I have some criticisms for it, it definitely tells an interesting story about the will to live, even if your time is whittled down to your final days.

    Poor Freya :( The Invincible was introduced as the ultimate ship you can get on Final Fantasy III, Garland has the same name as the main antagonist from Final Fantasy who turned into Chaos in the end, The Four Elemental Guardians are shoutouts from the Fiends you fight in FFI and Garnett's first name is Sara, coinciding with the Princess' name in the first game as well. Other locales in IX also seem to coincide with past entries' places like the first game just as well.

    My favorite part of IX is the ATE (Active Time Event..?hopefully I remember this correctly),it shows how story and writing is crucial part of IX. A satisfying experience for story-driven player like me.

      Peebo Saxon It’s a matter of how a Japanese person would say it. They pronounce it as Zee-Da-Ne with each syllable emphasised. That’s most likely why he says it as Zee-Dawn. I prefer using the name and pronunciation used by the company. It’s their creation after all.

    • @themarky2714
      @themarky2714 6 років тому +13

      His name is spelled as ジタン (Jitan) in Japanese so Zi-dahn is closer to Zi-Dayne. It's pronounced in Dissidia as the former. His name is likely a reference to a character in Hironobu Sakaguchi's first ever game.

      Vagrant Story I don't have an issue with, and as much as I would like to recap the Ogre series, it's in the same camp as the Shin Megami Tensei series: I want to tell their dark stories, but they have so many endings to reflect choices and not really canon routes, so I don't know how I should approach it.
