Final fantasy IX was a great game, but not good enough to end the series for the Playstation 1. In my opinion Final fantasy VII and VIII had better story plots. The main characters and the rest were all memorable. Like Could from part VII looked so cool with his big sword and Squall from part VIII and his gunblade, now that is cool. Do not forget the best bad guy from any game in history Sephiroth. I do not even recall the name of the main character from part IX. Who would want to be a hero that looks like a kid.. who has a tail....and his main weapon are tiny daggers. The story was great, but it lacked the merorable characters that are present in all Final Fantasy games.
