In my opinion, the best game ever. Final Fantasy IX is very different thematically to FFVII and FFVIII since it returns to its roots. Instead of a modern world with mobiles and emails, the setting is pretty simple (although there are airships). It truly feels like a fantasy game and one that is done extremely well.
The characters are all unique and are brought to life by a beautifully written script. Nobuo Uematsu returned for his last solo FF sound track and it was amazing. From the beginning piece 'The Place I'll Return to Someday' to the emotionally powerful 'You're not alone', the music never fails to pull at those heart strings.
The gameplay is solid and enjoyable despite lacking any uniqueness. Which brings me onto another point about FFIX in that it was intended to be a throw back to the earlier Final Fantasys. In that respect the plot, characters and setting were not ground breaking. But all these aspects were done so damn well that Sakaguchi, the series founder called it the best Final Fantasy yet. Uematsu said the same.
In conclusion, FFIX is a magnificent game although it failed to make the impact that many FF fans (such as me) feel it deserved. So, for those of you who haven't played it, go play it now! It is more than just a game, the experience and memories may well last you a lifetime.
I just spent 80 hours playing Final Fantasy 9 and it rocks, kupo!

n. The accidental or nonaccidental styling of one's hair to where it looks like it belongs in a Final Fantasy game.
After I washed my hair and dried it with a towel, it became crazy like I was from Final Fantasy.

Final Fantasy V is the fifth installment in Squaresoft (now evil Square-Enix) Final Fantasy series. It was released on the Super Famicom, but was not released in America originally, but was later fan-translated by a random pirate group. What they didn't know, their inaccurate translations would later become canon, even though a much better translation would be released for the GBA later.
Final Fantasy V utilizes Final Fantasy III's job system, allowing maximum customization for the four (one is eventually replaced) characters, with jobs like Warrior, Thief, Black Mage, Geomancer and Monk.
The game was largely criticized for its graphics, which were not a large improvement and in essence a modified version of Final Fantasy IV's.
It also has a great villain called Exdeath.
Hey, have you ever seen the fan translation for Final Fantasy V?
That was a fan translation? I thought it was a transcript from one of George Bush's speeches....OHH!!!!!!!!!

The fourteenth installment (not counting spin-offs) of the Final Fantasy series. The second one to be online. Initially received terrible reviews. It has since begun to turn itself around and is becoming more similar to Final Fantasy XI. The game will be F2P until it is up to par with all other MMO's and then will also be released on the PS3.
The class system is even more flexible than it was in XI. One can now change jobs on the fly without returning to their mog houses. Additionally, crafting skills now have their own classes and the crafting system has gotten more complex, requiring one to pay attention to what they are doing while crafting an item instead of just clicking okay once the ingredients are set.
Final Fantasy XIV originally took a lot of heat but it has since come a long way and it will probably become one of the next big MMORPGs. Give it a try while its free!

The last Final Fantasy game published for the Playstation 1, it was released around 2000/2001, after the overall failure of Final Fantasy 8. As a result, Squaresoft didn't market it as much as it had the previous two games.
The game is a return to earlier games, where each of the 8 characters have one class they stick to for the entire game. The characters weren't as customizable as those in the previous two games and the limit break system was replaced by a "Trance" system which had its own advantages and disadvantages (hitting Trance gives each character different special powers but you couldn't "save" it up between battles like you could with Limit Breaks).
The story itself is reasonably engaging, involving an over-dramatic villain of indeterminate gender (seriously, it's hard to tell whether Kuja is male or female, despite all the characters referring to Kuja as a he), a plausible love story and ultimately a fight for the souls of everyone on the planet.
Final Fantasy IX has many of the staples of the series with a few improvements. For example, the game actually encourages you to steal from creatures (there are about 4 or 5 creatures in the entire game that don't have something to steal, and one of the main character's attacks does damage based on how much you've stolen throughout the game), the Chocobo sidequest is useful for obtaining all sorts of items and it's actually possible to do well in the card game (Tetra Master) without a huge amount of effort. The major sticking point as far as the game system is concerned is the frustration that can be gained when trying to learn new Blue Magic - in this game, you have to beat down enemies to 1/8 of their health before the Blue Mage can eat them and gain their abilities (if the Blue Mage has Tranced, they only need to be down to 1/4 of their health)
Overall, while it's not as popular as Final Fantasy VII, it's still a good game in its own right, and a reasonably popular one among those that know it.
Final Fantasy 9 has many references to other games hidden within it.

A person, who is the commissioner of a fantasy football league and uses his power to make unfair trades with another team owner, typically an old friend, who is out of contention. This is sometime done in exchange for money or favors.
