Is it possible that as they were working the story, the art designs for the characters were finalized and the animation department got to work, completing said animations and such parts were cut to fit the story properly?
It's the animation they already have for other things or if we beat them in the unkillable way, without the disappear, or just simple "ragdoll" which is then not an animation. The one funny is the last one with beate, it's the "huh ? Must have been the wind" personnification lmao.
Interesting that there is a defeated animation for Beatrix. She was supposed to be defeated in a fight in the plot but it was removed. Supposedly she was supposed to lose to Kuja on the Iifa tree. This would have been satisfying to see but also kinda sad. The theme that was supposed to play during this scene way the unused "Weuber" track that you can find on YT. They kept her alive as to be a love interest for Steiner. However, this would have been used to express that the party clearly surpassed her in strength.
@@andrewrenshaw2741 Actually there is a mod that you can play with her from the certain part of the game to the end and she has a trance there. If I can remember clearly, her trance is about combination of sword art techniques and white magic.
The party clearly surpassed her in strength long before that point though. They were casually using powerful eidolons, had powerful magic artifacts & borderline divine weaponry. There is no story reason nor game-mechanic reason that beatrix should auto-win the 3rd fight vs the party.
@@AtKiba It was slowly entering my dreams, I basically felt compelled to play it again. Going to take my time, not stress about doing every activity, and just enjoy it and the artwork
I'm killing every enemy, and she is an enemy during that fight xD the weird thing is that Prison Cage doesn't die even when he usually dies in the fight with vivi
@@AtKiba Yeah for some reason it seems to trigger the same animation that plays when you beat the first fight where he's kidnapped Garnet. Not sure why it would trigger that.
I swear the music takes me back to my childhood. My very first JRPG and still my top 1 in my list. Wish they make a remake just like what they did to ff7.
@@DrStabkill People with this view on the remake are so miserable lol. You act like they went back and deleted the og game and the remake is the only thing you have left. I actually agree that FF9 doesn’t need that treatment, but clearly not for the same reasons.
Watched just to see Beatrix get beaten. Still pissed the game forces you to lose to her THRICE. Like, at that point, why isn't she the main character who solos the game?
What about the battles with Lani, Scarlet Hair (Amarant) and Kuja? Necron? Or did all of those not get in because you only wanted to record the first disc enemies? Very entertaining video though, I find stuff like this fascinating :)
You can't even the PS4 remaster with the always do 9999 damage Cheat Beatrix pretty much HAS INFINITE HP so you can't actually drop her HP to zero for every battle against her.
Normal Battle Mobs in FF - disappear after taking damage & vanishing once there HP is either fully gone or goes *past they're overall threshhold* (aka overkilled) Story & *Scripted Main Antag* Story Bosses - can be defeated by gets the last laugh by softlocking the game following it's closure. Beatrix is the exception cuz she *breaks the game code* you forgot Kuja on here.
@@AtKiba "I had every intention of doing this thing, and then I didn't." If that isn't the biggest mood of all time lol. I hope you're able to make part 2 one day! ❤
IDK about Beatrix, but they definitely should have left the final boss as Kuja, maybe have the fight in stages or something. The whole Necron thing at the last second with no prior story parts was incredibly dumb.
@@steven.9263 Disagree, the whole point of 9's story was the basic principles of human morality. When Kuja destroyed the crystal after renouncing his own morality and ideals; which was the creator of these values, he called forth the abyss. That abyss is something many people have experienced in their lives... The loss of a loved one, heartbreak etc etc. We all have our own personal battle with Necron at some point in our lives and dependant on the outcome is the rest of our lives and how we go about living it.
@@XavierAlexanderr The Japanese name for Necron is Eternal Darkness. If Square had localized the name correctly, then the whole story makes more sense. But no, we had to name the final boss as a homage to Necrophobe from FF5.
@@GregoryWeagle I could be talking entirely out of my ass but maybe they named it Necron because Eternal Darkness takes away the “personification” or “identity” of Necron being some primordial beast that comes only after the death of morality itself.
@@GregoryWeagle Necron's name also refers to Necrosis, the death of the body. And unfortunately, while The Darkness of Eternity is an incredible name, it's also way too long for the English version, the longest name we got was 14 characters, while "The Darkness of Eternity" is a whopping 24 characters, which just doesn't fit into ff9's menu.
Good....beatrix ruined FFIX for me. She's supposedly the strongest warrior around and that's fine but in the third & last battle, she's fighting a 1v4 against enemies that are like unto gods by that point. The devs shouldn't have cheated the player out of winning that fight, especially since she could still be the strongest 1v1 with some insta-kill attack that works on one party member but again, 1v4 fight. Fkk off with auto-lose.
@@majinnemesis No she isn't. It is shown almost immediately after that she is nowhere near that strong while fighting alongside Steiner during the defend sequence. It was just terrible scripting for the game.
Man; you can almost here the line “you created a time paradox” when you kill Steiner lol
Hard to believe no one green screened that meme yet
@@Mickael_Mineo Dude, that's a great idea xD I hope someone does it
Then it becomes chrono trigger, instead.
@@AtKibaYou forgot the RAGTIMER MOUSE! how i wish to see it being defeated in battle (aside from getting 100% in the pop quiz!)
Interesting that every unkillable enemy still has a model used for when they're defeated and disappearing
That’s definitely interesting since you will never see them.
Beatrix in 9 must have a fall animation,because she is in the party for short time
Is it possible that as they were working the story, the art designs for the characters were finalized and the animation department got to work, completing said animations and such parts were cut to fit the story properly?

I don't think it's a whole new model, it's basically their current model just lying on the ground then vanishing, a 'placeholder' animation
2:50
Cinna: **kills Baku**
Every other person at the practice session: 😳
😂😂😂
9:31 LMAO damn steiner took that one right to the chin. Man down
Can you do it with Gizamaluke?
I always wanted to defeat it to vanish
I like that Beatrix, even against cheats, still took one mofo down before falling.
Also, you skipped Kuja

she probably gets a KO animation when you control her and Steiner in Alexandria (if you let her get killed in battle of course)
Imagine if we got a trance Beatrix? She would be more powerful than Kuja
@@andrewrenshaw2741 Actually there is a mod that you can play with her from the certain part of the game to the end and she has a trance there. If I can remember clearly, her trance is about combination of sword art techniques and white magic.

Flashback to my RPG Maker days when I'd give an enemy 9999 HP and a script when it reaches 7999
That's the best example of what is happening here xD
Going from MGS1 to FF9. I swear to god if you do RE2 next you've basically started modding my entire childhood
hahah that's funny because I was just playing RE2 yesterday looking for something to do
@@AtKiba good job dude. 👍🏻
Listening to the masterpiece music that Uematsu San made brings me joy and nostalgia to my heart 🙏
Wow I literally started playing this after 10 years, perfect timing
It's an amazing game to play no matter when you start it :D
@@AtKiba It was slowly entering my dreams, I basically felt compelled to play it again. Going to take my time, not stress about doing every activity, and just enjoy it and the artwork
It's interesting that when you kill Prison Cage in either of the ways you do it, it also plays a death animation on Garnet

I love how Beatrix goes down with one smack from Garnet's rod.
8:23
Baku: "Gwahahaha! That tickles! Hey, I don't feel so go-"
*Boom. Gone*
Beatrix so badass, even if you defeat her, she still WIN THE BATTLE
I had an ear infection when ff9 came out, i had to rent games back then. I ended up playing for 24 hours straight.
Ahahah you killed Baku with Cinna’s “Miss” 😂
I always thought it was a shame we never got to hear the stage fight music again after the opening in ff9
I swear the music takes me back to my childhood. My very first JRPG and still my top 1 in my list. Wish they make a remake just like what they did to ff7.
Same here, bro! Favorite video game of all time in my case.
Jfc no. That was the worst bastardization of all time. Ff9 is perfect as is
@@DrStabkill People with this view on the remake are so miserable lol. You act like they went back and deleted the og game and the remake is the only thing you have left. I actually agree that FF9 doesn’t need that treatment, but clearly not for the same reasons.
Not everything needs a remake, FF9 is a great game, let’s not ruin it😂they can make new games too yknow
It's interesting how some of these fights have animate deaths or poses for characters you never see die such as Baku. Very interesting indeed.
Beatrix was so cool but then again I have a thing for eye patches.
I hated her so much, mostly because I never got past disc 2 as a kid xD
or is it you like to put something in the hole behind the patch?
I think it weird how they did that. FF7 just put "turn off death handling" in the AI script, and included a death status counter script.
Watched just to see Beatrix get beaten. Still pissed the game forces you to lose to her THRICE. Like, at that point, why isn't she the main character who solos the game?
Tldr game either soft locks in battle or continues as normal
7:26 "magic seems effective" I'd say so, maybe even a little too effective.
I did love ff6 i think i love it even more than 7 now, i do wish we had a remake of 6 like we do 7 it would be glorious
We got killing Beatrix before GTA 6
What about the battles with Lani, Scarlet Hair (Amarant) and Kuja? Necron? Or did all of those not get in because you only wanted to record the first disc enemies?
Very entertaining video though, I find stuff like this fascinating :)
You can't even the PS4 remaster with the always do 9999 damage Cheat Beatrix pretty much HAS INFINITE HP so you can't actually drop her HP to zero for every battle against her.
she most likely just has an HP higher then 9999 and the battle ends if her HP drops below 10000
Huh
Di you just removed frame limiter of Duckstation to speed up the game?
What about Zidane vs Amarant?
Must have been a very long quest! GG
But how can you do that, what's the secret, share it!
That music takes me back!
I wonder if the bomb had an enemy code which is why the game continued.
What about kuka and Garland?
you skipped the other Beatrix fights and Kuja
Nice video man!
Thanks Cris!!! :D I've been meaning to do something with Final Fantasy for a long time
Soul Cage is undead so they had to account for if you kill it with a phoenix down
