Hi, how many have played a Final Fantasy? That saga so famous and missed the last years and is not even the shadow of what was in its good era, but today we will not talk about how bad this whole saga is, if not Of the good and that good way to do it talking a little about Final Fantasy XI, the first Final Fantasy that I played and the one that I like, and we started:
The story of Final Fantasy 9 places us on the planet Gaia, which live in peace 4 kingdoms

Alexandria

Source



Burmecia

Source



Cleyra

Source



Lindblum

Source


But from one moment to another the queen of Alexandria, Branhe declares war on the other kingdoms commanding the black magicians, mages very powerful but not completely controllable.

Source


Because of this King Cid, king of Lindblum, thinking that the queen was driven mad by the death of his husband, intends to send to a band of thieves to kidnap to the princess of Alexandria,

Source


Princess Garnet Von Alexandros XVII, with The end of being able to speak with her and to find a way to come to reason with her mother.

Source


Source


Here Yitan, our charismatic, extroverted and womanizing protagonist comes in at the same time. Mysterious character of which has a rather sad and shocking past.

Source


Source


This is a member of the Band Tantalus whose members are:

Source


Baku: Baku is the leader and the father figure of Yitan and most of those who belong to the band, always strongly reprimand members for making a mistake or disobeying their orders.

Source


Blank: Is a great friend of Yitan, but at the same time is the best friend of the other member of the band Marcus.

Source


Marcus: It's Blank's best friend, he wants Blank as a handsome one and he's always dressed like a pirate.

Source


Cinna: It is another thief and member of the band, his favorite weapon is his hammer that always has him at hand.

Source


**Benero and Zenero: members of the band, have humanoid form with a mask.

Source


Ruby: She maintains a relationship with Blank, she would like the band to be actors rather than thieves.

Source


Parallel to this enters the scene Vivi, who in my opinion is the best character of the saga, Vivo esu a black magician but unlike the others he has a conscience and a pure soul, like a child.

Source


During the abduction,Princess Garnet surprisingly asks Yitan to take her with her, which has Yitan makes things easier, but the Queen realizes the whole situation and proceeds to shoot her flight, as a result of this Ship where they were escaping falls on a forest full of terrifying creatures, at this point of the game you can say that is where the true story of this wonderful adventure begins.

Source


Another emblematic personage of the saga is Steiner, the noble and honored protector of the princess, always very ethical and strict in its thing, although at the beginning many will seem annoying to him as the story advances is one of the personages of that takes More affection.

Source


We also have Quina, a character that maybe a lot do not like for their madness and always be hungry, but to me in particular is a character that I do not dislike. He is always looking for transcendental cuisine.

Source


As we progress in history, characters are increasingly interesting as Freija, who belongs to the kingdom of Burmencia and is of the race of dragons. She is always in search of her lost love, and is an old friend of Yitan.

Source


Amarant is a mercenary with a somewhat strange character and who has a hard time expressing his feelings, started being an enemy but then becomes a great ally.

Source


Then we have Eiko a girl who lives with some creatures called mogs, is an invoker like Garnet, but a disaster destroyed the place where he lived and now only lives in company with them.

Source


Source


Kuja is the main antagonist of this saga, this one manipulated Queen Branhe to fulfill its ends, together with Yitan they possess a relation and a past that we have to discover as we go playing.

Source


This wonderful game, full of feelings, morals and emotions:

We consider the concept of existentialism on the part of the least expected character.

Source


Another focuses on the need to want to help others.

Source


Not wanting to stop being oneself.


Source


Most of the rest.

Source


In the freedom to do what is best at will.

Source


In the sadness of oblivion and lose someone.

Source


Not to feel lonely and never want to be.

Source


And find a reason to live.

Source


If you have not played any Final Fantasy, I recommend you start with this title, since it has some of the most emblematic stories of the saga, good graphics, animation and music.

I hope you have liked them and thanks to this post play this great saga.

Sort:  

Did you hear they are redoing FFVII? Materia will rein once more

I like more FFIX

I'll check it out, never played that. Your review sounded encouraging

Thanks, but soon I will also do a review of FFVII, wait for it.

This is my favorite Final Fantasy game. I still regret selling my PSOne and this game to make rent that month way back in 2003 or so. lol

Lol
This is my favorite too! cheers!

I hope a remake of this great game. :)

I hope so too.

I'll probably get it on steam sometime in the future!!... I love FFVII and FFVIII and FFIX looks very interesting..... recent Final Fantasy games aren't bad they are just not as good as PS1 era games. (really Square Enix... you should focus on story and characters more)

This final fantasy in particular is very good, it returns to its roots centered on castles and charismatic characters. You will like.
