Join me for Part 9 of my playthrough of Final Fantasy IX on PlayStation 4. This is by no means my first time playing Final Fantasy IX; I’ve played it several times in it’s original PlayStation 1 form, but I haven’t played it for several years, and the call to dip my toes back into it’s nostalgic embrace hit me. I took advantage of the fact that it has been ported to PlayStation 4 with a whole host of trophies to reacquaint myself with this old love of mine.
So there’s no real strategy to this, play a game I know and love, and gush about it to anyone willing to actually watch me play it.
In Part 9 of this stream I take up the hunt for the locations on the mirrors in Ipsen’s Castle from the last stream, finally unlocking my path to Terra. What mysteries await me there? And after what was meant to be a slightly shorter stream than normal, I spend the better part of two hours chatting with one of my followers on the backdrop of me doing random boring tasks in the background of the game. It’s an interesting watch if you’re in any way interested in any of my views on gaming…
Until next time…buh-bye!
About Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy IX is a Japanese RPG developed and published by Squaresoft (now Square Enix) originally for the PlayStation in 2000. For this stream we are playing the 2017 PlayStation 4 remaster. In this game, players primarily control Zidane as he navigates through the high fantasy world of Gaia, interacting with non-player characters and fighting enemies in semi-turn-based battle sequences.
The story starts in the city of Alexandria on the Mist Continent of Gaia, where events take Zidane and his newly met friends on a journey to wrestle for control of the world’s future with a sinister evil. The game is a tale of identity, the bonds of friendship and family, and what it means to have a place to call home…all told on a backdrop of incredibly colourful and varied characters.
