Playing Playstation games on Linux using ePSXe :
Final Fantasy IX

Final Fantasy IX released in 2000 was the last Final Fantasy published on the Sony Playstation.
Unlike previous opus, this one features non-human main characters and a more fantasy oriented environment; The overall game feels like a return to Final Fantasy's first root.

The gameplay as (again) heavily changed :
- Team of 4 characters
- Each character got a different class and unique ability
- Abilities are unlocked by equipping items (To use the ability with equipping the item the character must learn the ability by gaining enough ability)
- Most spells can be either single or multi target
- The new "Transe" system replaces the limit break (transe is activated automatically when the character suffered enough damage)
