The only thing that may have ruined the game (if it wasn't saved by that awesome ending after the final battle) is Necron. Necron totally SUCKED. I hate it how the bosses in the game gave you like, jack for AP and NO experience whatsoever. At least in games like FFVII the bosses (especially ones like Jenova) gave you some sweet EXP and AP. Now...bosses suck...

Bu the game was saved by the music and the general gameplay and the FMVs. They were sweet. The FMV graphics are PS2-worthy.

Yes it was very over the top and not really nessesary. 9 has been my favourite so far and I really loved the medievel theme. The citys were great and the characters were amazing. But the ending was unnapropriate IMO.

FFIX was in my opinion the best PS1 FF game and the fantasy setting was far more interesting than the manga infused VII and realistic yet dull VIII worlds. The things that ruined it though was the last disk where it seemed to lose steam and went overboard with the plot and brought in parts like Necron which made no sense really. Still a geat game though.

Okay, supernova's kind of got some dark thinking. But he is right. The ending of FFIX would be more impacted w/o Zidane.

Didn't think any of that ruined it, I'm always up for a good plot twist and change in the story.

The Ending Rocked! the whole game rocked, the only thing that partially 'destroyed' it was Necron, why the hell did they add that in the game? They shouldv'e had the last boss as Quina or somthing cause he could be like some undercover brother like Kuja.

Hmm, I didn't think it was ruined either...although Critical Blue does have a good point.

Quina could have been an undercover brother??? Huh? Like Eddie Griffin?
What would other people have preferred for a final boss?

I think it would have been interesting to discover a mysterious mastermind who had been hiding in the shadows influencing Kuja.
