"Who would have thought that we’d still be finding out new things about Final Fantasy IX, 13 years after its release?
Final Fantasy IX must be the Final Fantasy that keeps on delivering. A few months back, the ninth entry in the series received attention for an undiscovered sidequest. Now there’s been another discovery made, though this one contains some spoilers regarding the game’s final boss.
Adventurous completionists will recall being able to fight a hidden boss named Hades, who in typical Square Enix fashion was incredibly hard to beat. Hades has actually popped up several times throughout the series as a summon tied to darkness and status-effect magic, most notably in Final Fantasy VII.
According to newly released concept art from Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary Ultimania, a book that examines series backstory and production lore, it turns out that Hades was originally considered as the game’s ultimate foe." - Maxwell Coviello
You need a reason to fight the good fight. In video games, some of the best antagonists have been female perpetrators.
Final Fantasy 16 is taking the series in a new direction, but it still appears to be taking some effective inspiration from past games.
I liked it a lot, I will not compare it with other final fantasy, But I hadn't felt that emotion for a long time playing since the final fantasy vll remake, it lacks some things, it's not my goty, but it deserves a place in my heart, with that I say everything.
Hironobu Sakaguchi loves Final Fantasy XIV and recently he's been using its creative features to pay homage to Final Fantasy IX.
Final Fantasy IX is still my favorite Final Fantasy game
It should had. I mean come on Necron came out of no where.
what was it a japanese developer struggling to make an original game so he gets angry and makes an octopus as the final boss o how original.
Interesting. Thanks for the share.
Huh. That's actually a pretty cool idea. I wonder how Hades would have been implemented into the story. And would he have had more of a build-up than Necron did?
