I should probably play the PS4 version --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Highlights:
Disc 1 -Kidnapping the princess -Escape from Evil Forest -Vivi vs. Black Waltz No. 3 -Festival of the Hunt -Burmecia Disc 2 -Odin destroys Cleyra -Rescuing Dagger in Alexandria -Atomos attacks Lindblum -Black Mage Village -Kuja vs. Brahne Disc 3 -Bahamut vs. Alexander -Destruction of Alexandria -Activating the four shrines -The "You're Not Alone!" scene -Trance Kuja destroys Terra Disc 4 -Assault of the Silver Dragons -Memoria -The ending This is probably the toughest one of the three PS1 FFX games. I think I lean Disc 3 just because its top tier moments are the most top tier, even if it does have slogs like the Desert Palace. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Most of the best scenes are in disc 3 but I feel disc 2 is more consistent. Also I just love the feeling of exploring the Outer Continent in general.

Yeah, I listed Black Mage Village, but Conde Petie and Madain Sari are pretty great, too. Iifa Tree is a solid dungeon as well. That entire section might be the best stretch of sustained excellence in the game.

Yeah my 7 and 8 choices jumped out at me (even if each game has 2 great discs) but this one is a lot trickier. It's a very steady game?
I'm leaning to Disc 2 (despite Eiko) but Disc 1 is great even if too short/FMV heavy. "Freedom" in FF9/getting the airship doesn't even feel that fulfilling as it does in the other games? Though Disc 3 does have plenty of great moments too. Very tricky! (are we going to get an overall "best disc" poll or two after this one?) ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think part of it is that FFIX's world just feels so empty since so much of it is uninhabited and unexplored due to the Mist. The Mist Continent has plenty to offer, but everywhere else?

StifledSilence 09/18/19 5:27:25 PM #18: |
Probably disc 2 overall, but disc 1 also has great moments. Disc 3 has the Desert Palace, so its automatically in last place.

I have strong antipathy towards disk 3 from a combination of my disk being scratched so I couldn't get past the Alexander cutscene (except for my first time playing where I guess it worked?) and my hatred of Hippaul (though I don't actually remember much of what happens after that)
Protip to developers: if you have a stupid impossible minigame, don't also make it only temporarily available --- Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Challenge! ... Copied to Clipboard!

on my FF8 replay I remembered how they dedicated the entire upper right area of the world map just to getting the last chocobo forest area. Nothing there other than that.

LeonhartFour 09/18/19 10:11:14 PM #32: |
well "permanent" is tricky because my least favorite party member technically isn't permanent
and that would be As far as the worst one who joins the party and sticks around to the end of the game, it might actually be Eiko. I'd have to think it through. FFIV - Rosa FFV - Krile FFVI - Relm FFVII - Yuffie FFVIII - Selphie FFIX - Eiko FFX - Kimahri FFXII - Penelo FFXIII - Vanille FFXV - Gladio I feel like there's a pretty clear pattern for the most part...! But yeah, I guess it would be Eiko if we're talking truly "permanent." --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Disk 4, because it's the shortest, meaning by default is the least terrible disk of this very terrible game.
The worst disk is objectively disk 2, with its go-nowhere plot and constant backtracking --- "Like Darth Maul, the bastard child of Michael Flatley and hellboy" - trancer1 lol xstats ... Copied to Clipboard!

Freya was actually fine until the writers forgot she existed halfway through Disc 2. Amarant sucked because he only existed to be an obligatory 8th party member, but Eiko was offensively bad ever since introduction.
Its a weird dynamic for me in FF9. The core party members (Zidane, Dagger, Steiner, and especially Vivi) are so damn good, and the back half are just blah to downright awful. --- E come vivo? Vivo! ... Copied to Clipboard!
