The Complete Story of Final Fantasy IX
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 фев 2022
- Welcome to the complete story of Final Fantasy IX, the game that paid homage to all that had come before it and returned the Final Fantasy series to its roots in high fantasy. Originally released all the way back in 2000, the game, which was the last of the PlayStation 1 generation Final Fantasy games, was overshadowed by the new and shiny PlayStation 2. Since then, however, the game has re-emerged from the mist of history as one of the most beloved entries in the series, and for good reason. The story of the game features an intricate plot with multiple viewpoints that deal with love, loss, loyalty, lechery, life, and probably some other things that begin with a different letter. Oh, and also there’s jump rope.

Discovered you yesterday. Already 7 FF videos deep. Great content!!
Have you considered doing a video on Final Tactics Advance story? It was honestly one of my favorite Final Fantasy games apart from 7 and 8
This game still holds up it's beautiful to look at
“But Vivi can’t sleep because of his fear of dying”
I felt that.
Oooh, you're hitting close to home... - Nökkvi
Every town has an elm Street
Far far below the Planet's surface - Baku
Is that why I never sleep? 🤔
I'll never understand why...but this is my favorite game of all time. With 30+ years of gaming....
It must be because you have great taste!
I tried playing ff9 recently... Im having trouble. The graphics, characters, and story just isn't hitting with me. I don't care about anyone in the main cast so far... help me love it like you do
@@KreatorOfDeath1985 if you don't vibe with it that's fine, but the character writing is fantastic imo
I’m with you homie
I’m 31 now… I played this when I was still in elementary. Forever and always be my fave game and of the FF series.. still have my original copy.. displayed on my shelf. Sadly the last disc doesn’t work half way through 😢
@@-Jasen- yea I respect it, I just can't get into it. Vivi is a cool design though.
It's more than 20 years that I have played this game as a kid. No idea what this game was about and never heard of the Final Fantasy series before. The story, characters and soundtrack will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for letting me go back in time and experience some emotions I had as a kid. What a great video!
So glad we could help you relive the game! Makes making the video worth it! - Nökkvi
I actually played this game as a kid, and back then I didn't really speak that much English, so I didn't understand anything that was happening. Lol, this video kind of provides closure for me on what happened in this game, that I have played for so many hours as a kid...
Still play 7 8 and 9 to this day. While 8 was my first and favourite of the series, 9 will always hold a special place in me. The soundtrack, the story, the combat and the art style is just a masterclass in game design.
I play the game for the first time when I'm in my older age and I've got to say God damn this game is a hot piece of ass
@@thesultrystrangerdanger6824 Guessing you didn't play 1-10 (IV-X) growing up. IX is literally the golden title of Final Fantasy, it was a love letter to its fans.
This game feels so underrated at times. It's my favorite Final Fantasy game. The emphasis on finding the place where you belong really speaks to me, and the scene on Terra where Zidane has forgotten who he is and his friends tell him, one by one, what he means to them makes me tear up even now, just thinking about it. We've all had those moments. And no matter how strong we may be, we all need a little help sometimes. And you don't need a reason to help people.
FF7-10 were truly a golden age. Banger after banger. 7 was my first on PS1. Each of these still makes me happy to remember.
FF6 was my first one. Actually, it's the game that got me playing RPGs in the first place. Then, FF7 comes out and just blows my mind.
4-10 really.
10 and 8 were trash imo
@@Maker004 I hated 8 for twenty years. I didn't like how you had to draw magic and wasn't a big fan of the junction system. Thankfully, in the remaster you can draw magic really fast with the fast forward option and once I got past that and started to learn how the junction system really works it actually became really fun. The story is one of the best in all of the Final Fantasy games. I thought it was just a love story but it has a lot of crazy time travel elements going on. I'm not a big fan of the voice acting in X.
@@omegaweapon116 compare to the rest I just wasn’t a fan of those 2 as much. 6 and 7 were perfect and I just had such high hope with 8. It seemed so empty. The stories are always the best parts. 10 yes had the worst voice acting. I also had a love hate for the Grid system. Then they ruined the genre altogether with 10-2, 12, 13 and 15. Everything became just so linear and unplayable.
FFIX is the the complete FF experience. Every aspect of the game is top notch. VII may be the most popular one, but IX is the most FFish FF game ever made.
Such FF, much wow! Would love for Final Fantasy XIX to also be an homage to the series.
I do like that once you learn an ability you can equip it whenever you want. Same thing as in the Final Fantasy Tactics games. You can always customize your characters according to the situation
I never understood the hate for 9. People saying they dislike the art style but still prefer 7. That’s when I know I’m speaking to a fool, with bad taste.
@@metalbrainmextrememetalent6810for me the main characters are pretty inchohesive plot wise. It's a horny monkey, a tear away princess, Steiner and Freya seem half complete characters, they all do really, and it's all played out like slapstick comedy. I think 9 is much better than 8, and 9 has a lot to like about it, but they just really dropped the ball imo on story investment. Even watching this video back again I'm reminded of how little there was to make me care about the characters.
While I agree that 7 isn't that FF, I wouldn't give it to 9 either.
14 and 15 have the whole crystals and WOL, which 9 still doesn't have. All 9 is, is medieval.
14 still has that, even though it's gotten weird and 15 has medieval, too, just a modern design to it with the Imperials.
It is such a gem, to me it's the best Final Fantasy ever!
Such a great game, and my personal favourite Final Fantasy as well! - Nökkvi
The best Final Fantasy there ever were.
My personal favourite!
@@BirdsOfPlay The sad thing is... during this era a lot of games (including FF9 of course) have a really good story, I dunno since when most of games no longer have a good story :(
@@ValkyrionX2different priorities in the industry. Online multiplayer didn’t really exist back then so they had to deliver great singleplayer experiences to sell.
It's video's like these that I know I'll come back to and watch every year, thanks for all the effort you all put into creating these!
It's comments like these that make it all worthwhile! Thanks for watching! - Pétur
THE Final Fantasy
I played this in 2001 and I remember the memory card corrupted JUST BEFORE the final area. While I did read summaries and watch the end cutscenes, I never did a whole summary from start to finish until now! But with FF14's expansion that just came out, I've been inspired to remember it all again. Thank you for this!
Hey everyone! Thanks for checking out the video! If you like it or just want to support us (so that we can make more Final Fantasy content), please consider subscribing to the channel, liking the video and/or helping us get the word out. Oh, and also don't forget to comment so we can thank you for your support (or just chat with you).
The only thing that disturbed me was in the intro, with the last fight in the icern caverns(? Sry never played it english) since it was the first time zidane simply helped without question, and overcame an extreme thread with chillion and the first tenor.
@@MrDoreius I'm confused, elaborate please ?
So, I finally beat this game 10 years ago after many attempts since it's debut and I can't believe how much I forgot about this story, especially the ending. Thanks so much for the nostalgia. Now, I'm inspired to end more of the series. I still have 5, 6, 7, 10, and 15. Here we go! These games are epic
When this game came out I had the date decked out with doodles in my middle school daily planner. Even in 7th grade I was daydreaming for weeks waiting for this game to come out. I still remember it came out on a Friday and it was the longest week ever. Gonna replay it this week.
Coming from a poor family, where I could only afford a PS1 only a couple years after the PS2 was already out, this was the first FF game I actually played. So I might bebiased, but this one gives me the best memories.
This is fantastic!
That intro gave me chills! Especially the prima vista stage shot!
I can’t believe how much you covered in such a short amount of time! ❤️
Thanks so much for watching! The intro was quite the labour of love - Pétur
No lie I started tearing up
@@BirdsOfPlay How did you get those image? It's awesome!! Should make more to be featured.
Playing this now for the first time. Remastered on PS4. For a game 24 years old they did a great job. The game is amazing so far.
Need to play this again. Still my favorite story in any FF to date. Great recap!
I love how much work you put into this. Fantastic job with retelling the story, the music ques, and everything else. Great to revisit after not playing the game for like a decade.
that intro !!! 😭😍❤
~ another perfect video that captures the soul of the story 💕🛐
That intro was A LOT of work and I wished I had more time to do more of these, but I'm quite happy about how it turned out. Thanks for watching! - Pétur
@@BirdsOfPlay how did you do it? Those slow motion clips (HD) look beautiful
I'll never understand why this insanely amazing epic story hasn't been converted into a movie yet! So good!
I actually hope they don't. Only because I don't know if there is any filmmaker dedicated enough to do the research and actually do a good job.
would probably take 4 movies just like the discs
I don't know about a movie, but it would be an amazing show.
No a chance, not after ff the spirit within
They will adjust it to present times like with everything..., they will make Beatrix a dude and her and Steiner a gay couple.
This game, and Final Fantasy VI each deserve a remake.
They gonna hit us with a FF6 remake as a desperation measure one day when we are pushing 60.
I wouldn't trust it, personally. Inb4 world of Ruin part2/DLC
FF 8, 9, and 10 were great romance stories that really got me in the feels during my younger days. Hell, even to this day I kinda squee for them. And I'm a guy in my 30's. Go figure, yeah?
I miss that in the FF games.
Hell, that's one of the reasons I LOVED Tales of Arise since that was one hell of a good romance that hasn't been seen in a LONG time in the Tales series either.
Dude, have you not played 7?!
@@JackTulsen77
Of course I've played 7 and I know there's a romantic subplot and drama between Cloud, Aerith, and Tifa... but let's not kid ourselves. Outside of supplemental works, it's NOT at the forefront of the story.
I mean, I guess unless you count FF7R which puts it a bit more in the open but even then... not to the same plot driving levels of 8, 9, or 10.
Hell, Even 4 and 6 had more plot driving romance going on than 7's kinda behind the scenes approach to it..
I mean, tbf, the cast of FF7 all had too many issues ot really focus on love... like Cloud. Good lord Cloud. Not all his fault, and Tifa not saying shit until WAY late in the game, and again, more implied than anything.... did not help.
Honestly, the romance in FF7 is either dysfunctional, or not super relevant to the overall narrative.... and is usually handled as more background stuff.
Seriously. Did 'you' play FF7?
I've played FFIX more times then I can count and 99% it multiple times. I was never able to complete the jump rope competition but did absolutely everything else
Jump rope is crazy... CRAZY!
"Finally found the place he would return to"
THAT ALMOST MADE MY CRY, HOLY SHIT.
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL STORY.
This is awesome. I couldnt get through this FF for some reason but I always heard the story was great and now I finally get to hear it in a novel way.
Glad we could be a part of your Final Fantasy IX journey!
Your channel is so incredibly good, every new video is a milestone thank you for letting us be a part of it. And keep it up 👍🏻
I haven’t finished watching this yet but I know a lot of dedication and love went into creating this. Thank you for putting this together! Well done as always!
Thanks for noticing all the love and dedication! This is definitely a video people can be forgiven for breaking down into shorter segments. But don't worry, there is love and dedication in each segment. - Nökkvi
Please god! more videos likes this!! I am so glad that someone still remember how beautiful this game is. Thank you for this awesome video. I can see you put so much effort into it ❤️
ff9 is a true masterpiece
It truly is!
I'm not even the biggest fan of FF9 but within 1 minute of hear this voice narrating the story I've now made it my goal to watch everything on this channel.
Feeling lucky that found this video. It was a beautiful one hour journey
Thrilled you enjoyed the journey! - Nökkvi
Fantastic as always! I can only imagine the immense work that goes into making such a comprehensive video!
We could have counted the hours it took to record the game, write the script, make the intro, record the voice-over and edit the video in general, but our wives would kill us... - Nökkvi
🤣
Best yet. Dam. You did an amazing job. Heard this story so many times and your best to date. Thank you!!
Thank you for making this video!
You have such a good storytelling voice, and you've summarised the story in such a good way to be able to get dozens of hours of game into a single hour!
One of my favourite games of all time, even if I found some parts of the story difficult to follow in my youth!
The narration helps bring this wonderful story to life and giving it character.
Amazingly made video and amazing synopsis. No grating voice to have to sit through either. Best FFIX video I’ve seen.
They really could have made a 60+ episode anime of this. And it would have worked perfectly. Even the "Garland infused bizarre-ness", that composed most of the endgame. IX was awesome!!! Thanks for the upload and recap!!!
an anime would be stupid and make it cringey
@@jamess.7811 your opinion
How would it make it cringy? @@jamess.7811
The intro was AMAZING !! Saved to watch later, I will be finishing this one!
Looking forward to your return! Glad you liked the intro!
This video deserves more views! Awesome video man, definitely one I’ll revisit whenever I miss playing my favorite game
Thanks for doing your part to keep the view count up! - Nökkvi
great work this is the first video I've seen about 9 that's gave me nostalgia. Thank you. I've got to find and play this again
Nostalgia can be a powerful motivator! Now go play it! You can't go wrong! - Nökkvi
This was recommended for me and I am so so glad I found your video ~ The intro almost made me cry, FF9 is my favorite entry in the series and you brought the story together perfectly! Keep up the good work :)
I love this so much. 🥺Thank you ever so much for making it!
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it! Looking forward to making more things that people might love! - Nökkvi
The authority of your voice! Great video, great voice, great memories of this game.
And a great comment! Thanks for watching!
How have I never heard of this channel?! This is amazing.
Welcome! Hope you stay a while!
Another wonderful explanation of a classic. So grateful for this channel!
We're grateful for your gratefulness and your continued patronage of the channel!
This was FANTASTICALLY done!! I loved this game so very much and remember getting it when it first came out!! Well done!
Thanks for the kind words! FFIX has always held a special place in our heart, so we put extra effort into this one - Pétur
Incredible work ! Thanks a lot. This story is so inspiring
Thanks so much! This story is very inspiring, and so a comments like this!
Wow!! Just wow. So happy I was looking up Final Fantasy nine history and found this 💎 this is amazing what a great channel
Absolutely love this game, love this narration and love the narrators voice, got me wanting to play it all over again for like the 20th time
Such an awesome piece of work this video! Congratulations!
Thanks so much. Glad you appreciate our work! More work incoming! - Nökkvi
the video that I will return to someday
You're not alone.
What an awesome recap! I have got to check out the rest of your "complete story" series
Thanks so much! Hope you like it! - Nökkvi
Your voice is so addictive. Only found your channel like a day ago and listened to the ff8 video before bed, was incredible. Looking forward to listening to this one and others as well. Hope you get a heap of new subs.
Welcome to the channel! Glad to have you aboard! Let's hope more people get addicted!
Finally beat this game today after playing it off and on since its release. Gotta say, that ending got me teary eyed. Great game.
Definitely top tier Final Fantasy/games in general!
RPG's in a nutshell:
Beginning: "We need to kidnap the princess!"
End: "We need to kill the very personification of death and hopeless, itself!"
Birds of Play, Wow, this made my day brighter! Thank you!
The nostalgia is immense. Thanks for putting this together, its really nicely done.
I'll be honest I slept on this game because I didn't vibe with cuteness of it all. 23 years later I played it and omg its one of my favorites.
Best FF IX video on here. Great work.
Thanks for this. I had so much fun play this game over the years
Amazing narration! You did a great job.
Thanks for your hard work, you did a real good job!
I have never seen this game look this good. Thank you for this.
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it!
I Love you Guys❤️ Absolute incredible work!!! Like every Video!!!
Good hard work and effort were put into this. Cheers mate. 🍺
Cheers! 🍻
Thank you so so much!
Glad you like it! We did our best to do it justice! - Nökkvi
I will say your narration of everything is beautiful. And I cannot wait to see more if your videos
Amazing work with this video. Thanks!
Thanks so much for such a wonderful , top notch video 🙏👍🥰
I loved it !!!
You have the best story voice ever!!!!
It is long since i played FFIX, but I remember that this game was the only FF game that I played that felt like having more than one main character, the player controls more than just Zidane through the game and the story of Garnet and Vivi are also important as they are part of the main story.
Quina was my favourite character tho:
"Life is precious. We do not waste anything. We eat everything"
A tradition I have when playing FFIX is always naming Garnet, Garnet. Hearing others call her Dagger is always a strange thing for me haha
Thank you for that video. I played this game when I was a kid and game was not translated to my language yet (now it is :) ) so I wasn't aware how great this story is. Thank you for all videos of PSX FF games. Still need to hear story of FF6, 10 and 12.
Que trabalho lindo e bem feito, sou do Brasil, e esse é o vídeo mais completo e bem explicado da obra. Parabéns
This is really cool!
And so well made. Thank you
Glad you think so! Thanks so much for watching and letting us know what you think!
ff9 was my favorite play through, followed by X, then VII, really a masterpiece the music the ambience the battle system & semi-open world
Love the video mate, great voice for it 👍
Great job on this
This was the first Final fantasy game I played on ps1. I remember taking it home opening it up and seeing all the dis. I didn't have a MC and sadly dis 4 didn't work .
Those were the days!
Just wanted to let you know I love the content. I saw you on reddit and thought I'd look. You have a new subscriber.
Thanks so much for the support! Glad you like the content and thanks for leaving such a nice comment! Warm feelings. - Nökkvi
This Game resonates with me so much… It’s OUR past lives that we LOST in Memorium
Incredible work my friend! Thank you for reminding of the amazing journey I had in FFIX.
I fell in love with the main theme, "Melodies of Life" and bought the OST CD back then. I don't know where the CD is now, but that song and all the other versions of it always makes me feel like crying whenever I hear it hehe.
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it. Melodies of Life will always hold a special place in my heart!
This is a great video. I love this kind of monolog story' telling. I hope you get much more viewer. And don't stop in FF franchise there is a lot video game that have great story'.
Just started watching, but the intro is awesome. And your voice! I love it :)
Glad you like the intro (and my voice)! Thanks for leaving us such a nice comment! Hope you like the rest!
@@BirdsOfPlay You‘re very welcome :) This is really top quality stuff. I watch recaps of FF stories often on youtube, but yours goes way beyond anything I have seen so far. Thank you very much. And thanks to your parents for gifting you with this voice. It is made to tell stories :)
We try our best! Looking forward to improving further!
I really enjoyed this game, played it many times, but the story on the final disc always just does my head in.
It's definitely a strange turn for the story to take. I've never had a problem with it personally but I can understand why some might not appreciate it.
The absolute goat of the series. No other entry comes close.
Your voice gave the game a real "Wes Anderson" vibe, which I think fit the lighter tone of the game really well. I also now want a Wes Anderson directed Final Fantasy 7.
I don't think I had ever cried tears of joy from a game until the ending of this masterpiece.
same. i was either 7 or 8 years old, laying on my grandparents living room floor with a ~12" tv while i was visiting them for the summer. i VIVIdly remember hiding my crying face at "bring my beloved dagger to me!". forever the greatest game of all time.
Por Dios ! , que video impresionante ! , muchas gracias por hacerlo y compartirlo ! me recordo por que amo los rpg, en especial FFIX
Thank you. I cannot STAND this game but really wanted to learn the story, but couldn't force myself to play it.
But... It's so good 😱
@@BirdsOfPlay I tried :( the style of the environments is dizzying and I spent more time trying to figure out what to do than anything else. Also really disliked the battle system. Just wasn't the game for me but the story is fantastic
That game is perfect. You laugh. You cry. It's heartbreaking. But happy! My favorite game ever.
Absolute quality narration.
I remember the first time I heard Sword of Doubt in Burmacia ... sent chills down my spine. The first few notes tell you you sank into the shitmire deeply. ^^
You deserve more subs!
I need this chap to read me bedtime stories, please and thanks. ☺️
Thank you so much! I loved it :-)
WHO'S READY FOR THE REMAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!!
But fr. One of my favorite game stories of all time, thanks for thia video.
Your videos are extremely good!
Thanks so much! We try to do our best! And thanks for watching! - Nökkvi
