Anyway, whoever created Vivi was a genius! That's all I've got to say.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Though the alternate character design is pretty cool-looking and could make for an interesting character in another game, just not in IX.

Those are really interesting. I especially like ViVi's new look, mainly because it's so completely different from what he is now.
Though I must say that Vivi's inner strength with such a soft, loveable appearance, to me, seems like the better choice.
The magic behind such a small body was kind of powerful to me.

FF needs to make another game with FFIX-like Graphics
I cant believe you actually said that O_O
*applauds you*
I do quite love the chibi feel to the game...although i think some of those pics (the dragons and then the summon-based dragoons) could have been incorporated into the game.

The conceptual artwork is interesting, but I’m glad IX didn’t end up that way. Much of it seems a little too medieval for my taste and a lot less like Final Fantasy.
I don’t know, when I look at a lot of the concept art, I have a hard time fitting them with the personalities that we all got to know during the game. I’m just glad they ended up the way they did, It truly made for better character’s, in my opinion.

I don't like Vivi's look. The game was ment to "bring back the old of previous titles". Maybe that is what Square decided to do after they thought that look wasn't going to fly?

I think it would have been an interesting alternative if the game had been stylized differently *looks at Vivi concept* but the game would have had an entirely different feel to it. And I loved FFIX to pieces for exactly what it was. That fantasy, mystical feeling, with cuteness and poignant moments. If it had turned into something like FFXII, it wouldn't have been as good (to me).
And no I'm not bashing XII, I love XII, it's just that the plot, storylines and characters are obviously vastly different in IX & XII.
