Final Fantasy IX

[Scarlett.]

Oh god, I just started this game for the first time...

...I'm already in love.

[Novo]

Have you been to the great village of Dali yet?

[Tom4784]

IX is a great game, I always tend to forget about it though.

[Stu]

Of the 100 nobles, 87 were impressed.

Queen Brahne was not impressed.

[Scarlett.]

Of the 100 nobles, 87 were impressed.

Queen Brahne was not impressed.

I impressed 98 of the nobles, and Queen Brahne was quite impressed :joker:

I've just got to the part where the airship crashes.

[Novo]

i love the Rufus Shinra Ceremony music scene in the Evil Forest, good touch.

[Scarlett.]

I'm not far into this yet, but I love Vivi and Steiner.

[Ramsay]

Ah i love that game. always get stuck fairly early though :/

[Tom4784]

Vivi is one of my favourite FF characters. His storyline is incredible.

[Scarlett.]

I don't know what it is that I love about him, he's just such a likable character.

[Novo]

I think all the characters are pretty likeable in FFIX even the Villains

[Scarlett.]

I just reached the first village, about 4 hours in now.

[Novo]

Thats about how much time i spend levelling up outside the Evil Forest

[LemonJam]

This game is my favourite thing ever. So many feels.

[Scarlett.]

The characters are all brilliant, I reached the part where you find Vivi underground, lol.

[Novo]

have you played the card game much? it's nowhere near as good as the FF8 card game but still pretty good

[Scarlett.]

I've played a few games, I thought it was going to be over complicated, but its pretty easy, lol.

[Scarlett.]

I've now reached Lindblum!

[Novo]

Festival of the hunt :worship:

[Scarlett.]

Festival of the hunt :worship:

Just about to begin that :D

[Ramsay]

I genuinely do think VIII and IX are so underated,,,so many people just consider VII to be the best and dont bother talking about how good the other two are

[Tom4784]

I may have to start a game on IX, this topic has put me in the mood for it.

[Scarlett.]

I genuinely do think VIII and IX are so underated,,,so many people just consider VII to be the best and dont bother talking about how good the other two are

Yeah, I played VII, but I found it really hard to get into, however, 20 minutes after I started playing IX, I fell in love with it.

[Tom4784]

Play FFVI after IX if you haven't already played it before, It's pretty much the creme de la creme of Final Fantasy.

[Scarlett.]

Yeah, I've been told its a one of the best ones, is it out for any modern consoles?

[Ramsay]

Think it's on the PS store

[Tom4784]

VI-IX are all out on the PSN, I'm pretty sure you can get I,II and IV for the PSP as well.

[Scarlett.]

Awesome :D I'll probably get FFIV on the Vita later this year too.

[Scarlett.]

I'm on disc 2 now, don't worry I didn't miss Quina, or meeting Mogster. I've just reached Treno now.

[LemonJam]

did you do a cheeky bit of levelling up beforehand against these little *****?

http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110311084019/finalfantasy/images/6/6e/Mandragora-FFIX.jpg

[Scarlett.]

I didnt bump into those, I'll probably head outside Treno's gates when I next play, to level up a bit, I did however bump into a ghost who wanted some ore... lol.

[LemonJam]

most of them don't even say please :bored:

[Scarlett.]

Haha, I gave him the ore and got a hi-potion in return, so its not all bad, lol.

[Scarlett.]

I've reached the desert tree town now! :D

[Novo]

Cleyra?

[LemonJam]

Cleyra :love:

[Novo]

I always thought you had to go to Cleyra before Treno.. then again i haven't played it in ages

[LemonJam]

Yeah Treno with Garnet and Steiner is beginning of Disc 2, once they arrive in Alexandria you go back to Burmecia with Zidane/Vivi/Freya/Quina and travel to Cleyra.

...yeah I know this game too well.

[Novo]

Oh yeah i forgot all about the party being split for that part.. was it Marcus and Steiner in that bell thing where you had to go side to side to reach the ledge? loved that bit :worship:

[LemonJam]

thought I'd share how obsessed I am so you can be in awe/laugh at me (yes I took them out the packaging because I'm a rebellious little ****.)

Holy crap, those are awesome! I especially love the Vivi one!

Cleyra?

That's the place, keeps getting muddled it with Freya in my head, lol.

[Scarlett.]

I just got to the attack on Lindblum :(

[Novo]

the best part about that is the depressing music in Lindblum after it

[Scarlett.]

I did play a bit further, but I accidently set off before buying stuff, so I reset lol. I agree about the music, it fits well. I hope we get to kill the Fat Greedy Queen Bitch Brahne at some point in the game.

[Scarlett.]

I've reached the other side of Conde Petit, and have picked up the blue haired girl. I really enjoyed the Black Mage village, but the implications of what Vivi discovered where sad, though I am glad he found others like him. Also.... Quina and Vivi getting married... lol.

[Novo]

love that bit of the game and the bit to come as well Lifa tree

[Tom4784]

I started a game on this today, I'm just about to go into the village after the Ice Cavern.

I always give Garnet an awful name because the scene in which she changes her name just doesn't work unless you stick to Dagger so in the past I've named her Teaspoon, Clive and Bassoon among others but this time I've outdone myself and named her Vagisil.

[Tom4784]

Actually **** that, nothing will ever beat Clive.

[Scarlett.]

LOL Dezzy, I stuck with Dagger, lol. I just reached disc three myself, the ending to disc two was epic!

[LemonJam]

Bassoon :joker::joker::joker:

[Tom4784]

I just got to Lindblum, I'm not doing anything tonight so I might see if I can push through and complete Disc 1 since I only have to do Burmecia after Lindblum.

[Scarlett.]

Alexandria :(

I'm now looking for the potions to cure that silly oglop Cid, lol.

[Tom4784]

I'm just about to go to the Forgotten Continent, I'll probably grind a bit when I get there since I'm woefully under levelled.

[Scarlett.]

Holy crap, you're catching up quick :joker:

[Tom4784]

Just finished Disc 2, the game is a lot shorter then I remember but I'm pretty sure I can remember Disc 3 being huge in comparison to the first two.

[Scarlett.]

I'm in the Desert Palace at the moment. My palace team is Quina, Eiko, Dagger and Vivi.

[Scarlett.]

Finally got past Kuja's Palace, I hated that ****ing place.

[Tom4784]

Yeah Kuja's Palace is annoying but I liked the place where you fought Ark, the copies you fight are great for levelling up your characters.

[Scarlett.]

Yeah, apparently you could use Soft to defeat them too, which I learned after doing it, lol.

[Tom4784]

I'm just about to take on the boss at Mount Gulug.

[LemonJam]

Esto Gaza & Mount Gulug :love:

[Scarlett.]

I've just reached Esto Gaza, lol. Though, I will be taking a break from the game for a few days to play the open beta of XIV.

[Scarlett.]

I got the airship and am at Ipsen's castle!

[Scarlett.]

I've just been flying around the map in recent days, I found the Chocobo forest :D

[Tom4784]

Have you found Daguerreo? You can buy and synthesize some really good equipment there.

[Scarlett.]

Aye, I came across it last night :D

[Tom4784]

Did you get the robes from the synthesis shop for Eiko and Vivi? They allow them to learn Flare and Holy.

[Scarlett.]

I didn't o: I'll have to revisit it tonight! This may sound silly, but I didnt know up until now that they could permanently learn spells from items if they wore them long enough, lol.

[Tom4784]

Silly Chewy, which characters are you using?

[Scarlett.]

Mainly using Zidane, Vivi, Dagger and Quina, lol.

[Scarlett.]

I'm finally on disc 4, doing some grand dragon farming before going to the Iifa tree

[Novo]

Have you done all the Chocobo Hot and Cold side quest?
