Do you agree with the decision to use this game's character design style, with the giant heads? I thought it was ok because I'm so used to the SNES games. Still, the bodies kinda freaked me out because they looked realistic a lot of the time. Especially in the cutscenes. Look at Dagger. IF you were looking at her, starting at her feet and panning up, you'd probably have a heart attack when you see her head! |

This is why I say everyone in the game looks like monkeys. This game was a chore for me to enjoy, I really started to loathe it. I hated the characters, the graphics made it even more ridiculous, and the only thing going for it was the battle/magic system and the story. |

Hate graphics and characters. Maybe because I was used to FFVIII (my first FF), with all the normal-looking tall people and those few futuristic elementas. Then I went to FFIX and found... that. I still like the game, its very good and made me spend hours of my life but it was quite an impact. A negative one, and I still havent recovered from it. xD |

How strange, am I the only one here who actually LIKED the graphic style of IX? xD And honestly, they may have huge heads supposedly, but at least they have body parts that don't look like blocks. Lookit VII. I don't care if it was FF's first 3D game or however you want to phrase it, the general animation for VII was ridiculous and should have waited until they had what they were doing more precise before releasing a 3D game till they actually looked more like people and less like..like..I don't even know what you'd call that. xD (Or maybe I'm just biased because I rather dislike VII but that's a discussion for another thread) But yeah, I quite enjoyed IX's graphic design. It was meant to be a lighthearted game and a throw back to the older days. I think the game's graphic style suits that purpose perfectly. But that's just me. Edited by Akazaeon, Jan 5 2008, 08:09 PM.

The characters in this game are horrible. Seriously they give me the willies, all of them, specially the rat. SDs are alright but these bastards are just deformed period, that's neither cool nor funny nor anything... I'm sorry, I only like three FFs and this isn't one of them.

Freya! She was a cool looking character. A dragoon that looks like a Red Mage. She always had a spot in my team. |

I agree, I could not stand the characters. That, and how they forced you to play their stupid little card game for the story. |

Grr. I hate those card games.The graphic style wasn't bad in a way. The game was meant to go back to the earlier games with crystals and what-not. So if you imagine them as (then) next-gen Final Fantasy four, five or six characters; it wasn't all that bad and match quite well. |

Yeah but the older games had bad graphics which made them 'classic', I mean it in a good way, I'm actually a fan of bad graphics. Now, knowing that the character is a rat is fine, but being able to actually see it in detail is too much for me. And the card game in FF9 was excruciating....

Haha, believe it or not, I liked the graphics of FFVII. The blocky people kind of made it unique. Seriously, find me another game where everyone looks like they do on FFVII. Oh, and the backgrounds for FFVII were AMAZING, closest thing to realism I have ever seen, actually. I hated the graphics of FFIX, I want to play it just so I can rename everyone to animals which are part of the primate family, and the "dwarves" were shitfaces. I would not like FFIX, here or there, I would not like it anywhere I do not like Final Fantasy IX, I do not like it, so kiss my behind. |

Bah. I loved IX. xD I need to replay it one of these days. Viviiiii <3333 (I'm attempting, keyword here, attempting, to learn his theme on the piano. =D) I already know how to play You're Not Alone from this game. ^^ but yeah, I still feel like the only one who loved its graphic style. XD Oh well, you're all boys what do you know? (I kid, I kid.)

I guess the aesthetics were meant to appeal to a broader audience than just male teenagers. Too bad for me... I managed to enjoy the game anyway because the skill system was cool and Zidane still retained a bit of Squall and Cloud's dignity despite his odd appearance. |

I didn't mind the graphic style. Infact, if you look at the other PSX Final Fantasy games, nine has the best graphics by a long shot. The characters looked like better versions of the Final Fantasy 7 characters when on the field. They have heads a little larger then thier body size would suggest. That didn't hurt anything. Vivi was great, but I wished he was more of a man, you know? I didn't like his ten year old attitude. Sure it was story driven, but still. Freya had the best design. Loved her look. Kuja... I saw somewhere once a good description of him. Sephiroth + David Bowie = Kuja. |

Kuja looked like a Dragon Ball character. |
