GamePro - Final Fantasy IX and the Appeal of Dragon Quest
"Want to know why Dragon Quest endures? You need only look at the franchise's unlikely intersection with another Japanese RPG pillar -- the summer of 2000, and the release of Final Fantasy IX."
You need a reason to fight the good fight. In video games, some of the best antagonists have been female perpetrators.
One of the most memorable fights I ever played. I almost didn't want to pull the trigger at the end.
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.
I don't agree with the analysis, but it is certainly well articulated.
Both are great RPG series
DQ rules
DQ endures because they never change it. It's a perfect formula they have. Unlike FF where they have to change every damn thing about it cause they think it will be better.
