| Final Fantasy IX The last installment ever to be released originally for the Playstation, FF9 returned to the roots of Final Fantasy in terms of characters and jobs, yet introduced interesting twists to abilities and other such features. |

I don't know what you guys are going at, but I definatly liked Freya. (Partly because of the 'Jump' but whatever.) I, personally, liked Freya more than Steiner so at the end of the game my Steiner was worse than anything. Quina, Amarant, and Eiko weren't needed though.

I actually thought Freya was pretty well developed. Most of her story took place on the first two discs and then we don't get to use her for awhile. I think through most of the last two discs she was still hurting over the fact that two of her towns along with many of her people had just been destoryed. We do see her happy at the end even though her lover never recovered his memories of her.

Quina and Amarant really aren't very well developed. I'll admit that much...and I normally have nothing but great things to say about this game.
The rest of the characters on the other hand are very in depth and detailed.

That's why the developed characters are my favorites.

Hmm. Its porbably because Final Fantasy 9 was more of a 'main character' driven story. The lesser characters were only there to help in battle and for backing story.

Am I the only person who liked Freya, Amarant and Eiko?
>.>
<.<
* Freya's character was generally more likeable than Steiners, and she had decent abilities (Like Lancer).
* Amarant's character is just a videogame standard - moody assassin who slowly learns to treat life with respect. The character development is there, if you look hard enough.
* Eiko... actually, Eiko annoyed me. But she got Holy. =D

I loved them. They make a great battle team if you know how to use them! 
But like it was mentioned before, FFIX was focused around Zidane almost 100%, since he was the object of the story. Garland's creation. Kuja's brother. YAdayada. |

Am I the only one who thinks the game wasn't mainly focused around Zidane? Sure, he's the main protaganist, but the game mainly focuses on Garnet. Zidane's story was only picked up in Terra, and thats the last part (minus Memoria) of the game.
Garnet was focused on hugely throughout the game. She was the one Zidane was meant to kidnap, it was her journey to Lindblum that mattered. She wanted to bring peace to Alexandria and her mother. Garnet had to cope with the loss of her mothers, of Maiden Sari and Alexandria, and her own betrayal at the hands of those she thought cared for her. And she had an inferiority complex. She thought she could only be of help if she could use summon magic.
So yeah, it's Garnet's game really.
