I bought it from a friend but he bought it from eBay so you could get it from a friend or eBay.

Sephiroth of darkness - there is a webby: http://www.game.co.uk/

But no - it doesn't have FFIX :/ eBay is everyone's best bet. I got mine factory sealed for £18.99. Amazon also have it but they charge huge amounts...

Exactly right - it all depends on which game you play first. Because I played IX first - I hated VIII because it was so different. In fact, I'll never play another FF unless it has a medieval theme...

I just bought a copy of FF IX online about a week ago for about $15. As a matter of fact, it was from a site I discovered in an ad right here on the forums! lol



You can also find a brand new copy of it on Amazon.com for like $14.90.

I didn't actually think of it as rare O.o I mean there's TONS in Gamestation ( Well VII, VIII and IX). But it seems that everybody I talk to have really played IX as there first FF game ... Maybe that might have something to do with it.

And well... If people didn't liek it, wouldn't you think that they would hand back the game into stores

Apparently this game isn't popularly demanded.
I recently went to purchase some new FF games since mine are old and scratached, but no matter where I go, no one sells FFIX...only VII and VIII.

Well around here where I live there is a game store called EB Games and they sell alot of the old Final Fantasys but when I can't find it there then I turn to the local pawn shops. They always have games that you can't find there.

Yeah, we have a lot of second hand game stores here in Cali, but they just recently quit selling PS1 games.
The only place to get them is at a special store about an hour or so away here...but that store only sells the games brand new and factory sealed.
