- Saw it on steam and instantly bought it. This is and will always be my favourite FF game. The story/love story is just amazing!
Hope you enjoy it as much as i did!
Copyrights go to Square Enix ofcourse! i hope they will remake this game someday! .
15 years after finishing the game and crying like a little girl, still cry to this fmv.
Eu entendo-te mano, eu próprio chorei muito ao ver esta cena na ps1, é simplesmente sensacional, orgulho em haver empresas como a square, "Farewell, zidane."
Don't feel bad so do I
Me too, man. Me too
same
Me too! I forgot that he survived! 🤧
FF9 does not get the respect it deserves. It's awesome, and I sincerely loved just about every character
I think a lot of people didn’t try this game or take it seriously because of the cartoony characters. They all wanted another FF7 and FF8 with more realistic characters, but that shouldn’t stop someone from playing the game. Just shows some people’s ignorance.
@@kingdoge69 They said this and this is the game where all the big cities suffer destruction at some point in the history, this game and Wind Waker are the same, cartoonist games after 2 with a more realistic design that were hated for being childish when both have more destruction that the others 2, in wind waker Hyrule is destroyed and in FFIX a fucking planet and almost all existence.
And after sometime they are loved by the fandom, specially with ff9, the "I understand that reference" game.
King Doge. That & the PS2 was at launch and people gotten into FF10 more than FF9.
Blank alone is better than like 90 percent of playable characters in ff games and then you have steiner and vivi who are the best and second best ever
I only played ff7 ff9 and ff7 remake part 1. And for now I can say that ff9 is for now my favorite ff game and maybe the best game that I ever played. But for now...
This is the sweetest and most wholesome FF ending ever. I start getting chills the second he rips off that cloak and yells, "Bring my beloved Dagger to me!" Gah. Hands down my favorite romance in the series.
Same. Alongside cloud and aerith
Oh yeah I wanted to yell fuck yeah whenever I saw him look at cloak off I'm so happy with how ff9 ended
There's some part of me that I wishes for that to be more of the story like a one shot anime of dagger and zidane having a slice of lifestyle but I'm also happy that we got
Garnet's reaction at the end was beautifully done. She had spent the entire game trying to be strong and keep it together, and when she finally reaches Zidane, she lets it all go and falls to pieces in his arms, not literally of course. She's making a scene, but she doesn't care. Her loved one was back from the dead, and that is all that matters.
Steven Morton she even abandoned her garnet and crown (and possibly her title as a Queen) just to be in his arm.
@@blindfollower She didn't abandon her tittle. Probably Alexandria's citizens loved her even more after this and she did care about Alexandria. By the way - Do you imagine Zidane being a king?
That's only my opinion. Just finished this game😸
Retro Shark I imagine more on him being a Prince consort or something. Since he’s essentially a male duchess and not having the prince title from any kingdom in Gaia (plus he ain’t really in it for ruling anything, as much as he cares for everyone, even outside his friends).
@@doctorpringles12 I know that he feels more like a prince, but those traits that you mentioned - they're the "stuff" that good kings are made of. So If he got a little more serious he could become a great king someday. But I'm not saying that he couldn't be a king the way he is. For example: Edgar from FFIII/VI
, he wasn't that serious, but also - It didn't make him a bad king. And as zidane, he cared deeply for his friends and other people. I'm sorry If I mashed/mixed everything together that It probably doesn't make any sense😸.
@@retroshark8 Zidane didn't appear to her in that way and say "bring my beloved Dagger to me" to just remain friends. That embrace between them and the way he's caressing her is not a friendship thing. Garnet is THE ONE for him and they are together.
Vivi's final monologue is hands down the saddest death in media I've ever experienced. I've never cried over a character for days before until now. Like, I know in the end he got everything he wanted out of life, but damn it, I wish this little dude could have just lived forever😭
At first i didnt realize it was vivi monologue since i play this game back when i was still 11 years old. Rewatching this again some years later i realized that it was vivi monologue. What a moment this ending is
Me too.
I named my cat Vivi and then realized that I'll be EVEN more sad when he dies. (:
@@toramaru2490 Also to make you cry even harder - Vivi means "life"/"to live." Fucked up what Squenix did to us. It's not fair. :'(
@@AlexaWilson12 ugh, pet deaths hurt as is :( cherish the time you have with Vivi, please🥺
I am now 34 years old, and this ending sequence has never failed to bring tears to my eyes 😢
RIP..... Vivi..... The best black mage ever....
Yes.. Guys , you know the last monologue saying farewell was from Vivi right.. He has stopped moving , Garnet’s hair is long again, and Alexandria has rebuilt. so Zidane probably missing for around 1 or 2 years.. Every character was shown in the ending , except Vivi.. the one shown was his “kids” and none of them remembers Puck.
In memoria was stated that things has made lot of stir ups since 10 years ago (the time when Kuja’s plot in Gaia was started). Mr 288 also said older type of black mage like Vivi last longer.. while newer types like Mr 288 last for 2 years. so in total Vivi probably has lived about 12 or 13 years. Vivi confirmed it in Bran Bal when he was saying that those teenage looking Genomes are about his age. If that so, Vivi probably has same expiration year with Mr 288.
Since the mist is back again during disc 4, and Mikoto lives in black mage village.. it is possible that she the smart one helps black mages to reproduce Vivi “kids” using mist.. Similar to what Garland did to Genomes , Mikoto also said eventhough Kuja was evil he still brings them hope.. by putting meaning for their existence even though it’s not what they were made for. Plus also, Kuja succeed on applying Terra’s producing system and set example on how to produce black mages in Gaia.
Note : Vivi is watching from above at 18:12 , exactly on the right side of the shining sword.
This game is so beautifully made and written.
Do not forget, no matter how heartbreaking it is, it’s still a fiction. Peace out ✌️
Thanks to the people who told me these key moments of the game
As soon as Garnet says “I’ll never forget our trip together” that’s when the ending of this game begins to hit me because that’s how I feel. I’ll never forget this game and the adventure we went on with these characters.
Yep, I feel the same, it leaves me feeling like I lost friends. Such a strange thing for a game isn't it?
I never got into this game. The characters were not that relatable compared to 7 or 10
The entire monologue is Vivi talking, it is a farewell letter to his friends because he has stopped. In the Japanese version of the game, this is clearer. There are articles going into depth on this.
@@jeremybrandt5779 i dont know how you cant relate to steiner or vivi or even zidane but relate to cait sith or cloud who spends like 85 percent of the game on unfounded arrogance that doesnt match his insecurity
@@thehater6189 looking back on it 9s characters are more relatable but I like 7s overall story
Garnet/Dagger: "How did you survive...?"
Zidane: "I didn't have a choice. I had to live. I wanted to come home to you. So... I sang your song."
Garnet/Dagger: "OUR song."
For the motherland, comrade
@@FelipeSalesGuitar I approve of this message
"Communist confirmed".. xd
Powerful
Just seeing this I remember ending this game mmmm man that feeling I still never forget man they need to bring this game back to PS5 are give it a movie bravo
Some of the best visual storytelling in just a few seconds of the ending-
Garnet throws the crown down, almost with disgust before leaping carefree into Zidane's arms. Her single "I thought you were dead" tear. Zidane smirks and shrugs as an apology, a "well, I didn't", "no bug deal", and "I'm here now" all at once. Three progressively weaker punches where she's basically calling him an asshole and that she "hates" him but in that "I love you, don't ever do anything like that to me again!" way to a full emotional breakdown. The clutch while she cries that's basically him saying "I won't."
A lot to convey in voiceless animation on PS1 hardware in just a few seconds. The score helped punctuate it, of course.
You know a girl likes the guy when she start beating him or call him an idiot after they have bin seperated for a long time or she thought he was ded.
Vivi's goodbye to everyone :'(
the question is, who is vivi's wife?
@@fahamvshafal7002 some huge gourmand lmfao.
@@fahamvshafal7002 Vivi married Quina. No joke. The ceremony is on a missable ATB at Conde Petie.
@@fahamvshafal7002 I think he just adopted and taught them the way of life just like his grandpa and his friends did to him.
@@ultrixsoma2736
I saw that. but its a disguise wedding haha
My favorite ending for all the FF titles....and there’s been some great ones.
I feel Zidane and Dagger’s love story is more convincing than Squall and Rinoa’s, even if it wasn’t central to the plot like in FF8.
I like Steiner finally finding happiness with Beatrix.
It’s great to see Eiko have a family she never really got to have.
And though I was saddened when I realized the narration was Vivi and his no longer being with us, the words he’s saying are so true.
Best ending, and coincidentally the one that always makes me misty eyed.
No cloud or squall shall hinder us... Oh damn!
14:11 for those wondering!
Goddamn, i don't quite remember there is that line on the game
Fresh pika gonna need a few Phoenix Downs for that
😂😂😂😂 I caught that too
I played this game and beat it a long time ago and can't believe that I missed this?
Probably the most satisfying Final Fantasy ending.. Just drying my tears now
ffx is even better. I cried like a baby for days
Nah... That necron thing in the end feels so disconnected to the whole plot, it's stupid. The ending movie is nice thi
Same here. its the best final fantasy ending ever.
Satisfying for sure. The only sad thing was that the journey came to an end where everybody live happily ever after. And that's sad.
Necron let the crystal go back to terran in exchange for vivi's soul
It might be minority thinking, but I actually like Steiner's story arc the most, and not just because of his romance with Beatrix. He's so black and white in his way of thinking from the games outset, so stubborn and stuck in his ways, but over the course of his journey with Zidane he not only gains great respect for the man, but begins to see the world in a different perspective and even ponders if living a life of military servitude, which is all that he has known until now, is really what he was meant for, or if there is perhaps something more for him to aspire to. He steadily begins to lower his blinders to the world as a whole, and though his loyalty to Garnet and his friends is never put into question, he eventually learns to stop being so formal and prudent and learns to be more relaxed, open, and easy going with the rest of his comrades, even making cracks about Zidane's choice in women towards the games end, something that Garnet herself calls Steiner out on but probably appreciates hearing coming from him, a strong indicator of his newfound independence and ability to think for himself.
In the end, he is still a servant of Alexandria, but it is no longer because it is all that he knows or because he feels obligated to do it, it's because he CHOOSES to do it, because he loves his country, his lady Beatrix, and his Queen...no, his FRIEND, Garnet.
Definitely one of the finest examples of character growth in a video game.
No i fully agree, Steiner has always been on of my favourites. When I played it first time in 2000-2001 time I immediately took to him because I like knights, and him falling in love with Beatrix was the icing on the cake for me. Steiner, Vivi, Zidane and Garnet were always my favourite team.
Beatrix and Steiner are the best part of the game, full stop
I only finished playing the game for the first time and I can say that, Steiner is one of the big characters from 9, he's got so much development throughout the story to make him as good an likeable a character as Master Vivi is.
I get why people hated Steiner, but that was kind of the point, the creator/s Wanted You to hate him, not to mention that all his dramatic posturing made all his scenes that much more funny.. ^^ That's what made him a fun and likeable character by the end of the story, Steiner is cool because he managed to find the strength to change for the better and because he has a good and kind heart behind that rusty armor.
Normally I don't care about the romance between party members in games. But Zidane and Garnet are the exceptions. The only pairing that made me jump up and brought maybe 1 or 2 tears in my eyes. The first time I finished the game and watched the cutscene I was just happy and screamed YES FINALLY!
Best ending to a final fantasy game. I love happy endings and this by far the best. Ff9 is my favourite game
Finalfantasy Girl I dug it back out a couple weeks ago and I genuinely think it's my favourite too. The Soundtrack by itself is absolutely massive.
except that vivi dies 0_0
tis is a bittersweet ending actually.
Josh Egan, my thoughts exactly. His farewell letter always gets to me though.
It had to have a happy ending with how much misery there was during the game!
The sad part about this ending... Is that the OG Vivi is not there to see it...
Jeez why you bring it up 😢😢😢
To me, the sad part was the thought of our adventures together has come to an end.
I love these characters. They grew so much from how they were at the beginning.
Zidane and Dagger are what Squall and Rinoa should have been. This is so damn satisfying, 20 years after first finishing the game.
The direction of that final FMV is among the best things in the entire series. The camera following Dagger from behind as Steiner and Beatrix open the doors for her, then she has to fight her way through a crowd of people slowly, dropping her pendant along the way... The build of the music... Her determinedly removing and throwing her tiara to the ground, as if nothing else matters in the world right now... Then... Boom. That swell of music. That leap into his arms is everything. She beats him on the chest a couple times in beratement before resting her head on his shoulder...
If you aren't crying, you probably aren't breathing either.
And they did this without relying on audio. You could see it in their faces.
This was the pinnacle of Square & nothing has topped it since.
The best love story ever!!
never force the plot to suit the romance
both of them never said "i love you"
both of them never kiss
their wedding was not a glamorous ones
yet we all know Zidane and Dagger are a solid couple that complete each other
Opened with a theater play, closed with the theater play as well. What a masterpiece.
Their first wedding was like "Yeah nvm just lets us pass"
quite possibly the best ending to a game ever made
Final Fantasy IX feels like home.
When Vivi says goodbye and they start chopping all the onions 😭😭😭
and who is vivi's wife :'(
@@fahamvshafal7002 Vivi doesn't have a wife, when Vivi died Black Mages created clones of him
The most elegant ending ever... Didn't need to show a kiss to demonstrate the love between them.
Vivi's memories have become part of the sky these 20 years
They don’t make final fantasy’s like this anymore. 7,8,9 and 10 were the last truly amazing games they made
I disagree 12 and 13 were amazing to me 10 was very disappointing my opinion
17:45 masterpiece scene, even without voice you can tell what Garnet wants to say to Zidane.
I liked when games didn't have voice overs.
@@smurfyday You can always turn off sound ;)
@@Hato1992 I don't want voice. Doesn't mean I don't want music or sound effects.
@@smurfyday Many games allow to disable voices only.
His smirk/fake smile when they stare into each other's eyes... You can just tell he's holding back his own tears. They nailed every facial expression in that scene.
RIP Vivi, you will be missed
Final Fantasy IX has always been my favorite game and this ending is still as moving as the first time 21 years after playing it. Never a game in this series has deserved the name "Final Fantasy" more than this one. The name becomes quite literal given how the story unfolds and given how it was developed and crafted.
There's something deeply moving and touching about this game, its world and its characters. I guess it comes out of the simplicity and subtlety of its direction. It allows more room for the player to bring a part of himself/herself into the game and it becomes a really personal, dare I say intimate experience.
The world itself is an invitation to carry on dreaming. If I could pick up a place, any place from any piece of fiction, I'd pick Alexandria in a heartbeat.
All in all, FFIX is a work of art which ends up being far more than the sum of its parts. This is the true sign of what a masterpiece is.
17:40 after 20 years, I just noticed the tears. No matter how old I am I will always cry at ffix and ffx endings 😅
Even after all these years, this ending is still one of my top favorites of the FF franchise, let alone still one of my favorite installments. Still feels as emotional as when I first seen it. A real testament to just how good FF9 was.
it really took me a while before I realised Vivi as the one who said those parting words. Initially I thought it might have been Garnet, but then it didnt make sense. It couldnt have been anyone else since we see them in the scenes. And then I realised Vivi was missing. And the story sank in with the black mages limited life span.
If anyone deserved to live a longer, fuller life, it was the most wholesome, kindest black mage of them all :(.
Damn! This game deserves a remake now more than ever!
I finished this game for the first time the other day. I was born two months after this came out, and recently the rerelease was added to Xbox's gamepass service. I saw my dad play a little bit of it and hadn't really been into any games lately so I decided to give it a try. It started out a bit slow and seemed like it was going to be cheesy and generic but I stuck with it out of curiosity. I played for 50 hours and spent probably six of those grinding minigames and treasure hunts to get the best gear possible and teach everyone all the abilities they could learn. I didn't regret a single moment. This game did something I never expected and so rarely experience from media in general, it made me care. I gave a shit about the story of Zidane, Vivi, and dagger. I wanted to see where the plot went and what Kuja would do next. I genuinely was invested in the romance between Zidane and dagger. I can't remember a single time where either of them said "I love you" to the other but, you could tell because of how well they were written and the subtle cues in their animations when they talked to each other. I don't usually buy into love stories in most things, a lot of them feel forced like of course they fell in love, they're the main characters, but not here. Never did it feel like they were forcing the two of them to fall in love, it all felt natural and incredibly well done at that. Vivi's story is utterly heartbreaking and it's impossible not to think of him without getting upset because of how tragic his tale was. When I first beat the game, I was so tense trying to figure if Zidane died or not that I thought the text in between character scenes was dagger speaking about him, not Vivi's farewell to the group and realizing that he didn't live to find out Zidane was alive was absolutely crushing lol. This game is a masterpiece, it's not perfect, nothing is, but a few gameplay issues don't take away from the incredible story that this game tells and the phenomenal score that makes it most emotional moments that much more powerful. No wonder the people behind this consider it their best work, because as far as I can tell, it most certainly is.
PS1 RPG games are way better story-wise/built-wise than games of today. Play Suikoden 2 as well and you'll understand what i mean.
Glad they started remaking these games, hopefully in 10years time there's FF8 and FF9 remake as well.
I cant believe that the marcus dagger scene is still able to jerk some tears after years of not playing this game.
"...Ahem that's what you said, father!"
"Eiko... What did you just call me?"
"Darling, she called you `father´..."
"Father! Mother! Hurry!"
"S-Say it again, Eiko!"
I love this ending and I loved it back then too
It kinda showed Ieko wanted love and just jumped at Zidane but after travalling with her friends she saw what she needed was companionship or family and at this point she has Sid and Hilda as parants and her former crush on Zidane is gone though I imagine she would still tease him and Garnet. She's basicley the princesscof linblum at this point.
I just played through this game on PC and I gotta say this is a fantastic game. The story was amazing and the characters fun, this is truly an exemplar that recent Final Fantasies can't compare. This is by far and large second only to 10 in my eyes as my favorite Final Fantasy and third behind 10 and the Kingdom Hearts series for favorite Square games.
The more times I watch this, the warmer my heart feels. It'll never get old to me... Out of all the Final Fantasy games this one has to be my favorite and the ending is just so fucking clever.
Just played through the game again, and it will never not be great. Best Final Fantasy made. Change my mind.
Hi everyone, I've been playing FF since 8... For some reason I skipped 9 and continue from 10 and so on...In the past 5 years I played 7, then 4, then 6... And I don't know why never played 9, to be honest seemed like a little bit "childish" just judging the book by its cover. Holy cow I just finished the game yesterday and I was crying like a liitle boy at the ending. This game is deep man... I'm not going to say it is my favourite as I don't believe such a thing exist for a really FF lover. But damn this game has a meaningful story... Amazing!
i skipped 9 and dismissed it as a kid as well. It felt so different coming from FF8 I remember i was kinda disappointed. Played it on an android emu in 2015 and i regretted that decision immediately. By far the best ending in the series. It's actually coherent and tugs the right heartstrings
Find the person who looks at you the way Dagger looks at Zidane as the airship is departing
I love how every FF game has that one character we root for. In FF9, I loved Vivi's journey. Reading his narration in the end tears me up because heinous the frailty of life and the journey you make of it - my memories will be part of the sky. The composition where Dagger is rushing to see Zidane's return and the crowd cheering on is one of my favorites overall in FF soundtrack. Theres something tear jerker and movie quality about its placement there. Great way to end a sweet journey and also the last of the PS1's run. Can you believe we all are that nostalgic for FF 7-9?!
Well 8 wasn’t that great in retrospect...
@@chrisgelin515 disagree, FF8 story is close to reality and FF9 truly is the epitome of the title Final Fantasy. If there's a story that's underwhelming it is FF7, that's why they followed it up with Advent Children
Monchie Cosio If by “close to reality” you mean “teenagers acting like idiots and fucking up at every possible turn” then yes, FF8 characters were realistic. FF8 was supposed to be petty HS drama and I honestly don’t know what was realistic about that.
FF7 did environmentalism, cyberpunk, and dark storylines before any of it was cool. I think some of its plot twists were a bit convoluted. But there’s a reason 7 and 9 were still probably the two most beloved stories of the whole franchise this many decades later.
@@chrisgelin515 Yep, just couldn't get into #8. Stopped playing halfway through (in some weird part where they go travel to space).
Aren’t we forgetting about 10?
I played IX 3 times, first year of its release, second in 2009, and third was a week ago. I just recently know about Vivi in the third playthrough (as im not a native speaker and my english is not so strong back then) -- it breaks my feelings and left me with a mild depression for 2 days lol
Will replay this classic again in about next 10 years : )
Even after all these years I still tear up. One of the best games ever in my opinion and the one that started my love of the final fantasy series.
Just finish ff9 on steam few days ago... i don't know why , but i cried when i saw the ending. Ff9 is my most favorite ff since i was child.
One of the most beautiful and satisfying endings not only of the saga itself, but also of any video game.
This game is so full of character and charm. While it had its shortcomings from a gameplay perspective, everything else - ESPECIALLY EACH CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT - made up for it and made it such a joy to play. I never wanted to part with these characters. They'll forever be a part of me.
I'm hoping for a remake worthy of the original.
And people always say ff7 this, ff8 that, no ff10 was the best, to them i say the other ffs never made me cry like a baby at the end, this was truly the best ff.
I played this almost 20 years ago but I was way too young to pay much attention to the subtleties then... Finishing the game today again as a grown man and I'm balling my fucking eyes out realizing these are Vivi's last words on his dying bed before "stopping". FML
No dementors, no different timelines, corny dialogue, but even still, just a great damn story. Damn, I miss the old school rpgs. Simple and fun.
Seeing the little vivis made me cry.
It always breaks my heart that Vivi never lived to see Zidane return alive.
I think that’s the worst part. Vivi ‘stopped’ and in his remaining days to the best of his knowledge Zidane died in the Lifa tree 😞.
I'm glad I got to watch this before I actually beat the game. I'm still crying, but when it's over, I know my heart will be stronger.
I love you, Vivi. Thank you for doing so much for me.
My favourite final fantasy....FF7 and FF9. Forever in my heart.
I'm so glad I grew up with games like this.
Watching makes we want to play it all over again!
Beatrix looks amazing in the cutscene, but I can’t forget about Ratty Girl Freya
Kinda sad that Vivi isn't with them anymore... 😭
@Brandon Chavarria Vivi may not be human, but he has a heart and soul of it.
I am really serious, i have this game for PS1 that graphics... omg... so nostalgic... and the game :'( so fcking sad.. the times i played this... I already finished this on PS3, but i go buy this one to steam, but the old one.. i never forget it... so fckign awesome :x
the story and the love story is just perfect,
What a perfect game :)
The best ending that won't fade even when you grow up.
Weird how no other game comes close.
People ask a fictional death that messed you up. The fact that Vivi as a character is saying goodbye to the old Final Fantasy memories and what it was just ... OOOF
"How did you survive?"
"No idea. The writers couldn't figure it out either."
He survived because he was tough and determined to keep his promise to Garnet. What else would the writers really need to fill in?
@@AndyAnonymous Well, if we're looking for practical details instead of determination, those.
@@ZhangtheGreat But isn't that how it is with most Final Fantasy games through?
Most likely he had to abandon kuja, and escape by himself, cause he mentioned he has to go back to garnet alive
this reminds me of my childhood 😍 now I'm too busy to play final fantasy games 😢
The backgrounds looks so much better than the Switch edition its insane
i beat this game about 45 min ago. i am now rewatching this scene because of how good it is.
Just like me
- Vivi died without knowing Zidane is still alive =')
- Garnet becomes queen of Alexandria, Eiko becomes princess of Lindbulm, so the two remaining survivor of Madain Sari rules Gaia
I was so mad that it crashed a third of the way through the ending for me. 60 hours in and I was robbed of this moment. Thankfully you uploaded it.
I really love this game man. My first final fantasy game. The story line especially the plot twist, the characters and their own tragedies, the battle system, the graphic, and of course the music. It just perfectly capture a fantasy world. The only final fantasy game that I play more than three times.
God... this is such a fantastic ending! This is one of the many reasons this is my favorite Final Fantasy game ever! :D
Eiko got her parents.. I played the shit outta this game when I was 9 years old.. So good
Thanks for sharing this video. It brings back old memory :)
Best ending ever. And the theme song of this game is my fave too :)
It still gives me goosebumps after all this years
Right in the feelings.... Thanks for posting this.
That daggers tune while Zidane is missing, i need to loop that for hours as it be so easy to fall asleep and chill out listening to it
After playing Dawntrail I had to come back and watch the ending! Perfection.
l noticed now at 17:56 Baku is behind Eiko clapping for Zidan as he finally got his canary
I'm such a sap, this brings tears to my eyes every time. I took a vacation to play through FFIX when it was released and it remains my favorite to this day. What a beautiful love story.
the moment you realize Vivi is gone at the end of the game, so sad.
I love this game...
Still the absolute best classic Final Fantasy to this day.
I wish I was able to erase this whole game from my mind so I could play it over again for the first time
The ending of this is a reason enough why it can be one of the best Final Fantasy.
You can almost hear Garnet go, "Stupid, selfish, impulsive jerk!" at the end when she jumps into Zidane's arms and then hits him.
That's a Clapping Citizen Kane moment right there. Your heart cracks a second time. The first time was seeing all of Vivi's sons arrive. You realize that the Little Mage That Could may be gone, but he has a family and a legacy to carry him on.
On a related note, if Bermicia is ever going to rise again, Sir Fratley and Dame Freya better get married and start having lots of Bermician kids quickly.
to think it all started at the stage and it ended at the same stage makes my eyes water-y
I'm super excited to beat this game, I have it on my switch, but I'm gonna have to leave that file behind because my brother bought a PS2 and ff9 and it will be arriving soon, so there isn't a real reason to keep my current file. Even so, the little bit I've played of this game has been one of the best experiences I have ever felt playing a game. No other game has made me tear up as much as this one, this is my favorite ff game and nothing will change that :)
Edit (7/15/22): I beat the game! It was genuinely one of the best games I have ever played, the ending cutscene made me sob hard. Especially when Quina showed up for some reason (me and my brother had a running joke going on between us throughout my playthrough, we basically expressed how much we loved Quina in a joking tone) and when I saw that he was doing all well and good being the castle's chef, I was so happy. The ending made me feel so happy, but also extremely sad knowing that Vivi was narrating the scene. I ended up not abandoning my switch file, I just didn't want to start over in the middle of the game for a 2nd time, and I regret nothing. This game was such an emotional masterpiece, and I wish that I could be able to experience playing this game for the first time again, but even so, it's a 10/10 game, and I will most likely start playing other Final Fantasy games (mainly 10) in the future :)
Glad you liked it
come on square give us the remake we need.
Vivi and Garnet's character arcs are easily my top 3 FF character arcs of all time, Celes from VI maybe a distant third.
i just cry after seeing this ending again. so many memories
The ending is so emotional I love it I want to see more so bad

FF9 in a nutshell.
Ever since I've played this in 2008, this has been the best FF for me. Truly a masterpiece!
I still don't understand why peoples go over with VII than IX ?
For me, FF IX is my favourite. I know at first glance, FF IX have cartoony design, but the story was so deep & emotional at some point. In my opinion, IX is the best among VII & VIII.
I love 9 a lot, but i think that ff7 world is a lot more interesting, maybe that's part of the reason
Just imagine a FFIX Remake and putting a voice in this scene. It would be perfect...
Nope, its already good without voice.. usually squarenix will ruin up the classic nostalgia in remake
effin Steiner scored the hottest female character in the game
Dagger.
Just finished this right now, this is now my favorite final fantasy
oh boy this fucking ending , it got me so much on when i played as a teenager, and still gets me, the music man im telling you
I feel personally offended by the fact FF9 sold les then FF8. 9 is a fucking masterpiece
IMHO both were fucking legend.......
The true best Final Fantasy
I'm almost certain you missed a good chunk of the ending when Zidane actually goes back for Kuja lol
My mom use to be the biggest gamer and when ever I bring up Final Fantasy she says “which was the one with monkey boy?” I tell her nine and she always says “That was my favorite. That was such a good game.”
