Final Fantasy IX marked the third and final installment in the series for the
Sony Playstation. Unlike the other two Final Fantasy games released for
the Playstation, FFIX is set in a medieval era, displaying few signs of
advanced technological development. This one of the features, in addition
to the general gameplay and graphics, displayed in the game which is
reminiscent of the first six Final Fantasy games. Overall, it's a delight
to the fans who had felt that the previous two Final Fantasy games had
lost the general spirit of Final Fantasy, but there have been many
criticisms that FFIX is too easy, bland or boring. Yet it's another
instalment in a great series and it must definitely not be missed out.
