-
even does in the remakes and that's even does in the remakes and that's splitting up the party and forcing you splitting up the party and forcing you splitting up the party and forcing you to be in certain party formations in to be in certain party formations in to be in certain party formations in specific story segments and moments I specific story segments and moments I specific story segments and moments I didn't really like this in the original didn't really like this in the original didn't really like this in the original Final Fantasy 7 and even in remake and Final Fantasy 7 and even in remake and Final Fantasy 7 and even in remake and rebirth I wasn't too big of a fan of it rebirth I wasn't too big of a fan of it rebirth I wasn't too big of a fan of it because I often felt forced into it and because I often felt forced into it and because I often felt forced into it and maybe didn't like the characters I had maybe didn't like the characters I had maybe didn't like the characters I had to control at that time nine does this to control at that time nine does this to control at that time nine does this too but it does it in a very unique way too but it does it in a very unique way too but it does it in a very unique way and at the best times in the game not and at the best times in the game not and at the best times in the game not everyone is together all the time and everyone is together all the time and everyone is together all the time and sometimes once the party breaks apart sometimes once the party breaks apart sometimes once the party breaks apart you get to experience Dynamics dialogues you get to experience Dynamics dialogues you get to experience Dynamics dialogues and moments you would not have expected and moments you would not have expected and moments you would not have expected and this doesn't feel forced it happens and this doesn't feel forced it happens and this doesn't feel forced it happens naturally in the flow and pacing of the naturally in the flow and pacing of the naturally in the flow and pacing of the story and works very well so once story and works very well so once story and works very well so once everyone has reunited you have even everyone has reunited you have even everyone has reunited you have even cooler moments since party a experienced cooler moments since party a experienced cooler moments since party a experienced a major event that totally changed them a major event that totally changed them a major event that totally changed them and seeing how that affects party B once and seeing how that affects party B once and seeing how that affects party B once both parties are reunited is actually both parties are reunited is actually both parties are reunited is actually pretty cool the plot twist threw me off pretty cool the plot twist threw me off pretty cool the plot twist threw me off consistently I don't want to get too consistently I don't want to get too consistently I don't want to get too much in detail on the story because I much in detail on the story because I much in detail on the story because I have an entire spoiler section later but have an entire spoiler section later but have an entire spoiler section later but I have to say the pacing and narrative I have to say the pacing and narrative I have to say the pacing and narrative overall was something that really just overall was something that really just overall was something that really just clicked with me there were times in 7 clicked with me there were times in 7 clicked with me there were times in 7 and 16 that were just slow for me and 16 that were just slow for me and 16 that were just slow for me but nine was just a smooth experience but nine was just a smooth experience but nine was just a smooth experience throughout there wasn't a part where I throughout there wasn't a part where I throughout there wasn't a part where I felt bored or it really took me out of felt bored or it really took me out of felt bored or it really took me out of the experience the only really slow time the experience the only really slow time the experience the only really slow time in the story I can think of was the card in the story I can think of was the card in the story I can think of was the card game tournament in trino and that wasn't

and immersive worlds to and immersive worlds to [Music] [Music] [Music] life so far the there's been nothing but life so far the there's been nothing but life so far the there's been nothing but praise for this game in this review but praise for this game in this review but praise for this game in this review but I'm finally going to get into some I'm finally going to get into some I'm finally going to get into some slight criticisms here so in nine you slight criticisms here so in nine you slight criticisms here so in nine you don't have Materia like you did in seven don't have Materia like you did in seven don't have Materia like you did in seven that used to slot into your equipment that used to slot into your equipment that used to slot into your equipment and gear but instead each character has and gear but instead each character has and gear but instead each character has their own set character class and can their own set character class and can their own set character class and can only equip certain kinds of gear and only equip certain kinds of gear and only equip certain kinds of gear and each piece of gear allows that character each piece of gear allows that character each piece of gear allows that character to use a specific ability which is to use a specific ability which is to use a specific ability which is exclusive to that character or class I exclusive to that character or class I exclusive to that character or class I kind of lik in this your equipment kind of lik in this your equipment kind of lik in this your equipment already coming with command material already coming with command material already coming with command material slotted within it but there's a little slotted within it but there's a little slotted within it but there's a little more to it than that once you master more to it than that once you master more to it than that once you master those abilities by fighting enemies and those abilities by fighting enemies and those abilities by fighting enemies and gaining ability points you can use that gaining ability points you can use that gaining ability points you can use that ability without even needing to have ability without even needing to have ability without even needing to have that piece of gear associated with that that piece of gear associated with that that piece of gear associated with that ability equipped on the character I like ability equipped on the character I like ability equipped on the character I like the system a lot because it allowed me the system a lot because it allowed me the system a lot because it allowed me to experiment with characters based off to experiment with characters based off to experiment with characters based off of which abilities were my favorite and of which abilities were my favorite and of which abilities were my favorite and not only just how they normally attacked not only just how they normally attacked not only just how they normally attacked and it encouraged me to keep finding and and it encouraged me to keep finding and and it encouraged me to keep finding and purchasing and synthesizing new gear and purchasing and synthesizing new gear and purchasing and synthesizing new gear and weapons for them to get their best weapons for them to get their best weapons for them to get their best abilities I unfortunately had this abilities I unfortunately had this abilities I unfortunately had this really bad habit of wanting to max out really bad habit of wanting to max out really bad habit of wanting to max out every single ability on every single every single ability on every single every single ability on every single character until I realized that probably character until I realized that probably character until I realized that probably wasn't the best idea there was some wasn't the best idea there was some wasn't the best idea there was some abilities like the green equipable abilities like the green equipable abilities like the green equipable passive abilities that I realized that I passive abilities that I realized that I passive abilities that I realized that I don't really need on some characters and don't really need on some characters and don't really need on some characters and also some command abilities that I felt
-
also some command abilities that I felt also some command abilities that I felt were a little redundant on others so I were a little redundant on others so I were a little redundant on others so I just ended up prioritizing the ones that just ended up prioritizing the ones that just ended up prioritizing the ones that were best for the specific characters I were best for the specific characters I were best for the specific characters I was wanting to get it for I prefer this was wanting to get it for I prefer this was wanting to get it for I prefer this system to the material System since it's system to the material System since it's system to the material System since it's a little more streamlined and more a little more streamlined and more a little more streamlined and more straight forward but I will say in terms straight forward but I will say in terms straight forward but I will say in terms of complexity and overall quality in of complexity and overall quality in of complexity and overall quality in gameplay and build variety I will have gameplay and build variety I will have gameplay and build variety I will have to give it to the Materia system but to give it to the Materia system but to give it to the Materia system but with Materia I found it very slow and with Materia I found it very slow and with Materia I found it very slow and tedious to level them up and sometimes tedious to level them up and sometimes tedious to level them up and sometimes it was even difficult to get the best it was even difficult to get the best it was even difficult to get the best ones in nine I like how you don't miss ones in nine I like how you don't miss ones in nine I like how you don't miss the abilities if you're always topping the abilities if you're always topping the abilities if you're always topping yourself up with the best gear and yourself up with the best gear and yourself up with the best gear and weapons also getting AP and leveling up weapons also getting AP and leveling up weapons also getting AP and leveling up these abilities felt a lot easier and these abilities felt a lot easier and these abilities felt a lot easier and simpler compared to leveling up Materia simpler compared to leveling up Materia simpler compared to leveling up Materia in 7 overall a simpler character in 7 overall a simpler character in 7 overall a simpler character building system but one that still works building system but one that still works building system but one that still works very well one issue I had with menu very well one issue I had with menu very well one issue I had with menu management that made things a little management that made things a little management that made things a little more tedious and finicky was more tedious and finicky was more tedious and finicky was optimization it's a great option to optimization it's a great option to optimization it's a great option to click on once you maxed out all the click on once you maxed out all the click on once you maxed out all the abilities a character has on their abilities a character has on their abilities a character has on their equipped gear and then it automat equipped gear and then it automat equipped gear and then it automat automatically re swaps all the gear with automatically re swaps all the gear with automatically re swaps all the gear with the best gear and the best stats that the best gear and the best stats that the best gear and the best stats that you have in your inventory but I sort of you have in your inventory but I sort of you have in your inventory but I sort of wish there was a feature for optimize wish there was a feature for optimize wish there was a feature for optimize for stats and another feature which was for stats and another feature which was for stats and another feature which was optimize for abilities and what I mean optimize for abilities and what I mean optimize for abilities and what I mean by the latter is there were times I by the latter is there were times I by the latter is there were times I would be in a dungeon or just a tougher would be in a dungeon or just a tougher would be in a dungeon or just a tougher part in the game I still wanted strong part in the game I still wanted strong part in the game I still wanted strong equipment but maybe I also wanted some equipment but maybe I also wanted some equipment but maybe I also wanted some good enough equipment that also did not
-
good enough equipment that also did not good enough equipment that also did not have maxed out abilities so I could have maxed out abilities so I could have maxed out abilities so I could focus on those and Master those focus on those and Master those focus on those and Master those abilities so if the game could optimize abilities so if the game could optimize abilities so if the game could optimize me with the best possible equipment with me with the best possible equipment with me with the best possible equipment with abilities I have not yet learned that abilities I have not yet learned that abilities I have not yet learned that would have been nice because the simple would have been nice because the simple would have been nice because the simple optimized feature would often give me optimized feature would often give me optimized feature would often give me Gear with abilities I've already maxed Gear with abilities I've already maxed Gear with abilities I've already maxed out and then I would have to dig through out and then I would have to dig through out and then I would have to dig through the menu again to see which gear would the menu again to see which gear would the menu again to see which gear would actually be best in that particular actually be best in that particular actually be best in that particular moment so I don't leave good abilities moment so I don't leave good abilities moment so I don't leave good abilities unlearned the combat is your us ual ATB unlearned the combat is your us ual ATB unlearned the combat is your us ual ATB active time battling system seen in active time battling system seen in active time battling system seen in games since Final Fantasy 4 but here's games since Final Fantasy 4 but here's games since Final Fantasy 4 but here's my biggest gripe with the battling my biggest gripe with the battling my biggest gripe with the battling system and the game in general it is system and the game in general it is system and the game in general it is very very very very very very slow and I feel very very lucky I was slow and I feel very very lucky I was slow and I feel very very lucky I was not playing the console version in the not playing the console version in the not playing the console version in the mcui mod menu when you start up the game mcui mod menu when you start up the game mcui mod menu when you start up the game on Steam you can adjust the speed of on Steam you can adjust the speed of on Steam you can adjust the speed of battles and adjust how fast you want the battles and adjust how fast you want the battles and adjust how fast you want the speed up boost to be specifically if I speed up boost to be specifically if I speed up boost to be specifically if I needed to grind I would set the battle needed to grind I would set the battle needed to grind I would set the battle speed very high but also use the speed speed very high but also use the speed speed very high but also use the speed up feature so I can skip the annoyingly up feature so I can skip the annoyingly up feature so I can skip the annoyingly long animations or even just speed up long animations or even just speed up long animations or even just speed up how long it takes to load into a fight how long it takes to load into a fight how long it takes to load into a fight it was often annoying at having to it was often annoying at having to it was often annoying at having to always go back and set all these metrics always go back and set all these metrics always go back and set all these metrics to my desired speed for battle and the to my desired speed for battle and the to my desired speed for battle and the multiplier for the speed up function and multiplier for the speed up function and multiplier for the speed up function and all that since there were instances

all that since there were instances all that since there were instances where I would just want to fight more where I would just want to fight more where I would just want to fight more normal paced battles and times were out normal paced battles and times were out normal paced battles and times were out not high speed up functions were not high speed up functions were not high speed up functions were necessary in other parts of the game necessary in other parts of the game necessary in other parts of the game though just to make it flow better and though just to make it flow better and though just to make it flow better and have a nice Pace especially when it came have a nice Pace especially when it came have a nice Pace especially when it came to traveling the world map traveling to traveling the world map traveling to traveling the world map traveling between districts in lindblum choke hot between districts in lindblum choke hot between districts in lindblum choke hot and cold Chocobo traveling in the world and cold Chocobo traveling in the world and cold Chocobo traveling in the world map traveling by gargons and gargon and map traveling by gargons and gargon and map traveling by gargons and gargon and fossil Rue getting on the Airship fossil Rue getting on the Airship fossil Rue getting on the Airship traveling in the Airship Landing the traveling in the Airship Landing the traveling in the Airship Landing the Airship getting off the Airship like Airship getting off the Airship like Airship getting off the Airship like some times I would go back to normal some times I would go back to normal some times I would go back to normal speed just to see how fast the game was speed just to see how fast the game was speed just to see how fast the game was really going in the speed up functions really going in the speed up functions really going in the speed up functions that ended up starting to feel normal to that ended up starting to feel normal to that ended up starting to feel normal to me and to see the simple animations play me and to see the simple animations play me and to see the simple animations play out normally at a snail's pace was out normally at a snail's pace was out normally at a snail's pace was straight up straight up straight up baffling since I brought up the battle baffling since I brought up the battle baffling since I brought up the battle speed and speed up functions from the speed and speed up functions from the speed and speed up functions from the mcui mod menu I thought I'd touch on mcui mod menu I thought I'd touch on mcui mod menu I thought I'd touch on some other mods and cheats I would use some other mods and cheats I would use some other mods and cheats I would use here and there the other two I'd here and there the other two I'd here and there the other two I'd commonly use were the max damage cheat commonly use were the max damage cheat commonly use were the max damage cheat if I wanted to easily grind for levels if I wanted to easily grind for levels if I wanted to easily grind for levels money or abilities and of course money or abilities and of course money or abilities and of course disabling Random Encounters of course disabling Random Encounters of course disabling Random Encounters of course those were not used all the time I'd those were not used all the time I'd those were not used all the time I'd have the max damage cheat on if I wanted have the max damage cheat on if I wanted have the max damage cheat on if I wanted to specifically grind or if I had a few to specifically grind or if I had a few to specifically grind or if I had a few abilities I needed to max out ASAP abilities I needed to max out ASAP abilities I needed to max out ASAP disabling renman's counters of course disabling renman's counters of course disabling renman's counters of course was if I just wanted to beline the story was if I just wanted to beline the story was if I just wanted to beline the story or couldn't handle a battle and urgently or couldn't handle a battle and urgently or couldn't handle a battle and urgently needed a tent at a save point for most needed a tent at a save point for most needed a tent at a save point for most of the game and whenever I was in a of the game and whenever I was in a of the game and whenever I was in a dungeon or an important part of the dungeon or an important part of the dungeon or an important part of the story though I'd have these all turned

story though I'd have these all turned story though I'd have these all turned off and probably just have the speed up off and probably just have the speed up off and probably just have the speed up function on another cheat that was function on another cheat that was function on another cheat that was available which I toggled on was the available which I toggled on was the available which I toggled on was the 100% steel rate since I heard zidon 100% steel rate since I heard zidon 100% steel rate since I heard zidon steals would often take many attempts to steals would often take many attempts to steals would often take many attempts to pull off and I really wanted a lot of pull off and I really wanted a lot of pull off and I really wanted a lot of those good items and weapons and gear those good items and weapons and gear those good items and weapons and gear I'd get from a lot of the major bosses I'd get from a lot of the major bosses I'd get from a lot of the major bosses in the game I thought I'd be a little in the game I thought I'd be a little in the game I thought I'd be a little more transparent on the cheats I used in more transparent on the cheats I used in more transparent on the cheats I used in this and when I use them and why I use this and when I use them and why I use this and when I use them and why I use them because some people are either them because some people are either them because some people are either curious or are very particular on how I curious or are very particular on how I curious or are very particular on how I should play a retro game from 2014 4 should play a retro game from 2014 4 should play a retro game from 2014 4 years ago anyways exploration in this years ago anyways exploration in this years ago anyways exploration in this game was much smoother and easier than I game was much smoother and easier than I game was much smoother and easier than I thought it would be of course running thought it would be of course running thought it would be of course running around on foot was fine but once I got a around on foot was fine but once I got a around on foot was fine but once I got a fully upgraded Chocobo with all the fully upgraded Chocobo with all the fully upgraded Chocobo with all the abilities I was able to run around the abilities I was able to run around the abilities I was able to run around the entire world map with no hitches or entire world map with no hitches or entire world map with no hitches or roadblocks and it was actually a lot of roadblocks and it was actually a lot of roadblocks and it was actually a lot of fun one thing I really appreciated was fun one thing I really appreciated was fun one thing I really appreciated was the Airship had fast travel which was a the Airship had fast travel which was a the Airship had fast travel which was a life and timesaver especially near the life and timesaver especially near the life and timesaver especially near the end of the game when I was completing end of the game when I was completing end of the game when I was completing some side quests like Chocobo hot and some side quests like Chocobo hot and some side quests like Chocobo hot and cold the chocoo dead pepper quests and cold the chocoo dead pepper quests and cold the chocoo dead pepper quests and the stellazio coins quest for those who the stellazio coins quest for those who the stellazio coins quest for those who are wondering upon realizing that osmo are wondering upon realizing that osmo are wondering upon realizing that osmo was one of the hardest bosses in the was one of the hardest bosses in the was one of the hardest bosses in the entire series I decided to skip out on entire series I decided to skip out on entire series I decided to skip out on it for now but maybe I'll go back to it it for now but maybe I'll go back to it it for now but maybe I'll go back to it later overall this game doesn't really later overall this game doesn't really later overall this game doesn't really seem to overhaul the series into New seem to overhaul the series into New seem to overhaul the series into New Heights in terms of gameplay Loop or the Heights in terms of gameplay Loop or the Heights in terms of gameplay Loop or the formula or anything like that but what formula or anything like that but what formula or anything like that but what works here really does work and I really works here really does work and I really works here really does work and I really really like really like really like [Music]

the OST in s and the more I played the the OST in s and the more I played the game the more I heard and the more I game the more I heard and the more I game the more I heard and the more I experienced I think this is the OST that experienced I think this is the OST that experienced I think this is the OST that will remain with me forever and despite will remain with me forever and despite will remain with me forever and despite Seven's being really good I think nine Seven's being really good I think nine Seven's being really good I think nine beats it out just slightly in this beats it out just slightly in this beats it out just slightly in this section I want to quickly talk about a section I want to quickly talk about a section I want to quickly talk about a few songs and character motifs that few songs and character motifs that few songs and character motifs that stood out to me the most and and how I stood out to me the most and and how I stood out to me the most and and how I interpret them I'll be doing quite an a interpret them I'll be doing quite an a interpret them I'll be doing quite an a bridge version of this because this part bridge version of this because this part bridge version of this because this part of the script ended up being quite of the script ended up being quite of the script ended up being quite longer but stay tuned for a video in the longer but stay tuned for a video in the longer but stay tuned for a video in the future entirely dedicated to the ostd future entirely dedicated to the ostd future entirely dedicated to the ostd and light motives of Final Fantasy 9 so and light motives of Final Fantasy 9 so and light motives of Final Fantasy 9 so getting started zidan's theme is heroic getting started zidan's theme is heroic getting started zidan's theme is heroic and chivalrous and a Melody that plays and chivalrous and a Melody that plays and chivalrous and a Melody that plays during the moments of Triumph whenever during the moments of Triumph whenever during the moments of Triumph whenever he overcomes great hardships and he overcomes great hardships and he overcomes great hardships and achieves victories but near the middle achieves victories but near the middle achieves victories but near the middle of the song it turns a little bit more of the song it turns a little bit more of the song it turns a little bit more mellow but it still retains that high mellow but it still retains that high mellow but it still retains that high optimistic energy what's interesting is optimistic energy what's interesting is optimistic energy what's interesting is this part of the song returns and kind this part of the song returns and kind this part of the song returns and kind of shows zon's vulnerability as a of shows zon's vulnerability as a of shows zon's vulnerability as a protagonist when it comes back later in protagonist when it comes back later in protagonist when it comes back later in the game in dis 3 has a song called the game in dis 3 has a song called the game in dis 3 has a song called unrequited unrequited unrequited [Music] [Music] [Music] love viv's theme is a bouncy and love viv's theme is a bouncy and love viv's theme is a bouncy and Whimsical tune that perfectly describes Whimsical tune that perfectly describes Whimsical tune that perfectly describes his clumsy curious and apprehensive his clumsy curious and apprehensive his clumsy curious and apprehensive nature as a small little black mage another theme associated with Vivi is
