It still holds up as the greatest game of all time IMO. Way better than Wind Waker or Goldeneye or MGS2.

I remember playing it when it was new and now people born after it came out are adults, possibly with their own children...

Man I feel old and sad.

Replaying it in Japanese. It's making me really appreciate just how well the localization team handled the translation. The dialogue feels the same in both English and Japanese, unlike in games like Ocarina of Time where much of the poetic feel and Lord of the Rings-esque vibe was lost in translation.

I feel the slow ass battles made it hard to go back too. I got the ps4 version which has a speed up to help but I dont like how you gotta basically pause to activate and cant turn it off during cut scenes

Amarant is great, but also I think Quina is great.

I'm currently replaying it. Great game but I forgot how much I hate trance. It ends up being wasted way too much.

6 and 9 will always be the best FFs.
Agreed. Though 5 has some of the best gameplay with the job system.

As a whole, I find 5 nowhere near 6 & 9's level, but yeah, it does have the best job system in possibly the whole series. FF11's subjobs are nice, but 5 and it's Freelancer blow everything out of the water.

Definitely. Trance wouldve been great if you could just activate it on command, but I guess that would lead to you going into every boss fight with all characters tranced and just blow it up so maybe that wouldve been too much.

It's not like those boss fights were hard anyway

I haven't played completely through it since the original release, even though I still own the original.

And that's exactly why for me. The battles always felt so slow. I've tried to replay through it several times but I always end up not finishing. I did just pick up the PS4 version on sale, it's on my list to get back to!

Nitpick time. Nope it's not over twenty years old yet.

You can in Final Fantasy IX it's not easy but you actually are rewarded for beating the game as quick as possible and skipping cut scenes is needed.
