Final Fantasy Nine

Final Fantasy IX is a story of a queen appropriately named Queen Bahne of Alexandria who has started changing from a jolly old fat queen to a evil sorceress who is using highly advanced magical weapons to terrorize all the neighboring kingdoms.

You take control of a young boy named Zidane Tribal, who is part of a group of bandits who have been ordered to kidnap Princess Garnet but find out she wants to come by her own free will. Do the Queen's threats of destruction cover a darker secret? It's your job to find out!

In this game you get the chance to play as eight unique characters who can use magic, powerful weapons and strange abilities to destroy your enemies!

Your main character is Zidane Tribal who is a strange boy with a hidden childhood and a rather strange tail! He falls in love with the Princess and he leaves the band of thieves to save her life. The other main characters you play are;

-Vivi Ornitier, a young black mage with amazing magical powers who is searching for his life's meaning.

-Albert Steiner, a soldier of the Queen who vows his life to protecting the Princess.

-Freya Crescent, a dragon knight who is an old friend of Zidanes.

-Quina Quen, a strange creature out to sample all the foods on the planet!

-Amarant Coral, a bounty hunter who joins you to spend his life as a warrior.

-Eiko Coral, a young six year old with great summoning powers who no longer wants to live alone.

This is an amazing game which is no doubt the best so far out of the Final Fantasy saga. With its full plot and great graphics you will be hooked! This is definitely a game to buy. I give it a big 5 out of 5.
