This game was gifted to me by a friend in middle school who knew I was in an abusive home. He said I'd really like Vivi. I would sneak around at night to be able to play this game, silent and terrified but full of so much wonder. My abuser broke all four disc's one by one. I was only at the Tree. I was absolutely devastated to not finish it. Nearly 15 years later and the Switch edition made me sob to see. I finally got to finish it and it felt so different to finally hear the music in game. This game ment so much to me.

I never realized this until now, but every single one of the characters in this game (except for Zidane) is somehow isolated or separated, in other words, they are ALONE. Zidane adopts every one of these characters (including Rusty) into his party and makes them feel wanted, validated, and a part of a new family of misfits. This makes the sequence in Terra that we all know and love just THAT much more powerful for me... He finally learns about his origins and decides to leave his family and become isolated and separated himself, as all of his friends once were, but they won't allow him to leave the group and they all beckon him the same way that he did for each of them. This game is literally unbelievable.

Part of why this game is so good is how excellent Zidane is as the glue that holds the team together. Zidane is one of the more unique protagonists in the series who already knows "who he is," when you get him. He doesn't really get too much character development throughout the game if you pay attention, but instead is the one who shows the rest of the cast what they're missing. He's the anchor and the development of the rest of the party members is because of him. It all culminates in the "you're not alone" sequence in Bran Bul where Zidane is caught in a moment of existential crisis; the party whom he has helped throughout the game, now return the favor. It's really a powerful sequence.

One thing I really liked about Zidane being such a cocky and outgoing character was that it actually made an impact when he started to doubt himself and have that existential crisis nearing the end because it was such a notable change from how he usually acted. Some of the later Final Fantasies and a lot JRPGs in general opt to have a protagonist that's surly and angsty the entire time, so when something goes wrong it doesn't make as much of an emotional impact because the character was never happy to begin with.

This is so true. Of all the FF games, this one is literally burned into my soul. This game resonated with me when I was trying to find meaning and love in my own early teens. Another VERY different aspect of this game that the others did not, was a system that fully developed every character and their story, even if you didn’t use them. You had the opportunity to see them do their things while Zidane was off doing his. It really connected me with the ENTIRE story instead of just the linear character of the hero. Still to this day, the game makes me cry and feel the warmest of emotions at the same time, all the way down to my core and back to my early adolescence. This game will always be my favorite of all time.

Realizing I didn't believe the religion I was raised in. Feeling like I failed a girl I briefly felt a connection, but was too insecure to help or try to reconnect. Etc., etc. ... I was pretty depressed at that time. I know it sounds cliche to many, but for those couple years music and RPG/Adventure games really got me through those few years. FF IV had aspects that I could find parallels with in my life.

Memories is another huge theme in FF9. The importance of remembering the good times, the bad times, close friends, lost loved ones, moments of hope and moments of despair. The game explores that people are not the product of their makers, but of the memories they choose to create. This theme of memories is one of the reasons I think the game has stood the test of time so well. Every time you play through the game again you revisit those memories. As you develop more nostalgia, the story’s themes become enhanced over and over again. It really is a masterpiece.

Likewise, everyone in your party, and many NPCs, is/are enduring an existential crisis of one variety or another--Zidane confronted with being a genome, Vivi with being manufactured, Freya with the loss of her homeland, Garnet with the monstrous nature of her mother and the lies concerning her birth, Eiko with the loss of her family/isolation, Steiner working through his conflicted loyalties, etc---FF7 attempted to achieve the same result but the end product was far less believable, and incredibly forced with the notable exception of Cid--building on what you've noted, they're successful in staving off depression, self-loathing, despair, etc by banding together and serving as an emotional support network for one another--Zidane is there for Garnet, Viv, and Freya--Eiko for Garnet, Garnet for Eiko--Steiner helping Beatrix through the same conflicted loyalties he overcame himself.

So I went to a local gameshop with my mom, and was looking for it. Sadly the vendor dude told me "sorry it's too hype it's really hard to find. But here's, like, FF IX. It's cool and stuff". I looked at the jacket and was like "that looks chidish as fuck... but ok I'll try". Around 17 years later my eyes still got wet just from hearing you mention Vivi's letter. My fucking FEELS man.

Quina in a way represents the character with a fully realized purpose in life: to eat. While most of the other characters go through an existential crisis/angst there is Quina who has a known purpose and it's a good foil to say, someone like Vivi who is still trying to figure all that out and his purpose in life. Which makes it all the more interesting that they do have some wholesome interactions in the plot!

I really like that interpretation. Vivi, who can represent the thoughts we face regarding purpose and fulfillment, is countered with Quina who abandons that worry with quick and easy gratifications. Then, when the two get married, it could be seen as symbolic, having ours concerns about purpose and of simply being, merge into one, where both are considered and accounted for.

I used to know someone that only felt safe when they were eating. It was the only time their mother didn't abuse them. People that keep eating and get unhealthy represent depression. You are prey. Learning to be a predator. Learn to hunt or be too weak and get fat until you learn to take care of yourself. If you can learn to be fat and happy then great. Make the best from the worst. Just don't die at 55 when you eat yourself to death.

FFIX is the only FF I’ve ever played to completion. I’ve played a lot of them but never got around to completing them. I’m almost 30 now and the ending to this game still brings me to tears 😭 and Vivi is a special little bean that is my favorite fictional character and it ain’t even close.

FFIX may have been good enough, but my copy kept freezing on a certain cutscene, it was either when i was about to switch to the last disc or right after, i can't remember which, but either way i could never get it to play through it so i never got to finish the game.

Vivi deserves a nice rest that makes him feel energized, pancakes and eggs with a side of bacon for breakfast, a nicely sized sandwich and a bottle of coca cola for lunch, and some chicken alfredo with toasted garlic bread and a cold glass of water for dinner, and makes so much chicken alfredo he has leftovers.

I was a really depressed 15 year old when the game came out and the games dark exssestential tone pushed me to quit within hours. About a year later I tried it again and beat it and I can easily say that it's a masterpiece. It's basically a love letter to the origins of final fantasy and it has maybe the best final fantasy soundtrack which is very high praise indeed.

My oldest male cat is named Vivi after Vivi. People often thought he's a female because of the name Vivi, unless they are FFIX fan. 🤭

I went through the game during a bad case of depression. I have bipolar disorder and sometimes it really makes you think if live is even worth living when you suffer mentally from time to time and in worst cases can’t even enjoy the things you love. First time I played it through I really felt like it was written for me. It didn’t cure me but it made me think about all the positive things in life and all that hardships are also part of it but that doesn’t mean your life needs to be suffering or meaningless. It gave me a push to go and seek help that I had felt too weak to do before, just like people around me who cared for me. Now over 8 years later I’m in a good situation, my illness is fairly stable and I’ve found a person that I truelly love. I played the game through, finishing it today and I am still moved by it’s message. I like how you captured the goofiness and randomness of it all in the video while still capturing the message of the game. And yeah, Amarant can F off.

I still played everything after that, but none of it remotely came close to the quality of the PS and PS2 Final Fantasy era respectively. Then again, there's alot of polarization and bad faith within the FF community going on that I never understood. No, FF7 is not overrated. No, FF9 is not underrated (check the metacritic score). Every FF up to the PS2 since the SNES was objectivity great on the innovation and execution metric. The words these people are really looking for are over and under appreciated, which is a point of view I can agree with.

Excellent video man. I played and beat it for the first time last year. And then found your vid. You deserve some sort of award for this. Also I like this better than 7. This game indeed changed me and I'm 32.

Amazing video! Final Fantasy IX was my first FF game, my 16th birthday was at the same time as Garnet's so this is my favorite FF game forever. You did an amazing job. It gave me a lot of memories :__)

One of the other big themes in this game that I loved beside 'life and death' was also about finding yourself and place in life every character when you first meet them more or less exists in a 'fake it till you make it' sort of existence, no one has defined personal goals or really understand what they want out of life. Steiner is in love with the Ideal of what a knight is, but only becomes knightly when he abandons the ideal and starts to fight to protect others and for a cause he believes in Vivi is aimlessly existing at the start of the game, and not until he understands the limitations of his own existence does he really begin to live Garnet is trying to run away from allot of things but has nothing to really run towards, and through the adventure sheds her naivety and romanticised world view in order to become a ruler Zidane is playing the part of the 'rogue' and more than anyone else he's just there for the lul's, it's not till he discovers the horror of his roots that he finally has direction, dropping the idea of 'chasing tail' in exchange for embracing his alien heritage and reconciling with the plots villain because he's family. Freya begins by existing as an extension to her 'love' defining herself as only auxiliary to him, overtime learning to live for herself as an individual with her own legend to write. Eiko, when you first meet her is in an utter state of self delusion, playing at some notion of 'house' and rejecting the truth of her age, and the loss of her people, while she never really gains a proper motivation outside of 'kill those clowns' she does come to terms with her own reality and her place in it. hell even quinna to an extent has an arc of chasing food for his own pleasure before learning to share that culinary knowledge with everyone else as head chef,. Amerant, as late as that arc is introduce, gets to learn that no one is an island unto themselves, which quite impressively is reflected in his Trance by gaining the ability to affect all allies at once with his support skills rather than just 1 at a time.

Captain Butt it’s kinda subtle how he says it

This was the first game that I really connected with as a kid. Thanks for making this!!

I’ve played this so many times back in the day and I never clearly understood the story. I remember getting so confused once I was in Terra. This vid helped me so much!! Now I want to replay it
