Final Fantasy IX

Dark times have spread over the world of Gaia. Four separate governing nations, some blinded by their short-sighted greed, some persevering in the name of justice, are battling on and off in a deadly game for power. One kingdom, that of Lindblum, headed by the honorable and trustworthy Regent Cid, finally decides to take a stand against the unspeakable massacres by the troops of Alexandria. Enlisting the aid of mere bandits to kidnap Princess Garnet of the Alexandria Empire, for information and interrogation, Garnet and her bodyguard actually join Cid's cause, knowing full well the outlandish recklessness of the governing Queen, who counterattacks with an onslaught of warriors. Thus begins a crossfire that would engulf the world in something far worse than political standoffs. Out of the band of thieves, one boy along with his entourage must battle his way through several awe-inspiring challenges to restore order and peace.

A gripping storyline, unforgettable cast, unparalleled graphics - sounds like the blueprint for yet another Final Fantasy. Following in the decade-long tradition of the series, Final Fantasy IX debuts with a brand new story and cast. This time however, a request from the fans to return the series to its root yielded a title that is distinctly different from its recent predecessors. Unlike many other game franchises, Final Fantasy is a constantly evolving series. While no two titles are ever alike, players can be sure that the latest one benefits from what was learned from developing its predecessor. As the last Final Fantasy to appear on the PlayStation, Final Fantasy IX is the heir to over ten years of game development. The Result of drawing upon this much experience and history, is a title that blends both the successful elements of the past such as a return to the fantasy roots, with the innovations of the future, such as high quality computer graphics. In the end, we are pleased to announce that the result is a title that serves as a fitting conclusion to a decade of RPG excellence.
