Final Fantasy IX Retrospective Review | Game Discourses
293To mark the 20th Anniversary of Final Fantasy IX this episode is dedicated to discussing the unique and wonderful world and characters of the final Playstation era instalment of the Final Fantasy series.
Final Fantasy 9 was a conscious return to several tropes and conventions of past Final Fantasy games. It was a unique homage to the character classeses, and medieval aesthetic of the earliest titles, and also drew on various historical elements from William Shakespeare to the Industrial Revolution. This FF9 Review considers these aspects of the game along with the existential, philosophical themes evident in the character arcs rather than necessarily critiquing gameplay or how ‘good’ the game is in a subjective sense.
