Final Fantasy IX Pics And Info

_xeno_ writes "psx.ign.com has a story that includes screen shots about Final Fantasy IX. This game is the last Final Fantasy game for the PlayStation, as future FF games will be for the PlayStation2. Apparently FFIX will be going back to the older-school Final Fantasy - that means swords and sorcery, MP, shorter summons, and characters that are drawn anime-style as opposed to FFVIII's attempt at having 'realistic' characters." Hey, maybe this time we won't have a big soap opera, either. A guy can dream, can't he?

FF Soap? by Effugas · 2000-04-03 21:43 · Score: 4

FF, with the exception of the very early ones(which didn't even have
*characters*), has *always* has deep and meaningful stories...or soaps, if
you want to call them that.

FF2/4's Rosa/Cecil, Rydia's tragic loss of her mother(*you* *kill* *her*
*mom*), Edward's loss of Anna at the Battle of Damcyan, Edge being forced
to kill his own horribly disfigured parents, the darkly honorable
Rubicant, the prodigal Golbez, the sacrificial Cid...

The rest of the series hasn't been much different, though I do
agree--something did change, and it wasn't altogether perfect.

Yours Truly,
