Final Fantasy IX

About the game

Final Fantasy IX is Square Enix's classic role-playing game from 2000, here in its updated PC version. Zidane and the Tantalus Theater Troupe set out to kidnap Princess Garnet, heir to the throne of Alexandria, only to find that she wanted to escape the castle anyway. Together with her guard Steiner, and later companions such as Vivi and Quina, they are drawn into a story about the secrets of the Crystal and a force that threatens to destroy their world. Characters learn abilities by equipping items, and once an ability is mastered it stays even after the item comes off, which leaves a lot of room for customising your party. Taking hits in battle fills the Trance gauge until the character transforms and gains stronger skills, and Synthesis lets you combine two items into something better. Between the main story there are minigames like Chocobo Hot and Cold, Jump Rope and the card game Tetra Master. This version adds achievements, autosave, high-definition movies and character models, and seven boosters including high speed and no random encounters.
