if you could change one thing about ff9, what would you change?

Definately the ability system i hated having to keep the same item just to learn an ability apart from that its great.

If I could change one thing...

I'd probably change the often occurrance of random battles. I know, every RPG has'em, but do they really need to be THAT often? It's really annoying when you're trying to hurry up and you keep getting in fights... In ff 7 you could put on "enemy away" materia. Just once in a while I wish there is an ability you could set that kept you from getting in so many battles.

The 4 character battle system. I like having 3 characters, its a lot easier to handle and I wont be confused :p

HOW SLOW HASTE IS

HASTE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SLOW COMPARED TO FFVIII

ARGH

okay i think i have all my anger out now!

hehehe :D

oh that too, I didnt like the haste with the damn little icon on top of the head, and how you glowed when protect or regen was casted.

also the trouble status.. grrrrr

i know,

that totally bothered me,

once,i wasted like so many soft's trying 2 get rid of it,then i found out that it doesn't heal it LMAO

I can be so stupid,

and yes,i hated it when u glowed in trance and in haste ( so on )

ARGH so annoying lol

those kinda stuff doesn't bother me at all but zidane bothers me kinda. monkey man for a main char isn't cool imo. should've had cool looking char as main char such as cloud or sephiroth. no squall cuz he sux :) ah and freya also ;[ rat chick... should've given her human form with blonde hair and all just like freya from norse mythology~

Zidane with his damn daggers, i only liked using him after he got the angel bless and so on..

I know,

When i first got the game and i was in eveil forest(the first battle u see it in) i was like...like someone could do that after they win every battle lol

it annoyed me after a while,i couldn't wait to get the Ogre

that was much better then backflips hehe :D

(or did he do backflips then to????) :(

nah, he twirled the double dagger weapons around and thats it.

less annoying and more attractive :)

cool,

nowonder Dagger (human hehe) didn't wanna be near Zidane,to embarrasing

Lmao

but realie,i would be like...

change your winning stance,just stand or something hehe :D

he should have just kept simple, like how cloud did when he won or squall nothing over the top like that :p

maybe just a petrified Zidane would do,

hehe

Cloud twirled his sword in the most impossible manner imaginable... You call that simple?

Seriously? The abilites system was like my favorite part of the whole game.

Anyhow, I would have them find a way to work Necron into the plot, or get rid of him altogether. Something along those lines.

Much more simple than doing a backflip while just standing. ;)

Not remotely. You try doing a standing backflip, then try twirling a heavy sword in front of you while keeping your hand in the same spot. I guarantee you'll manage the backflip first.

Anyone can do squalls.

All he does is turn around and blink.

If I could change something in the game it would be the damn trance!!!! The trance is ok, but it activate right when the bar is filled, I hate that!! When you want to fill your bar a little before a boss fight, and a enemy attack you again and you going in trance, you want to throw the controller!! lol. If you could just activate it when you want, it would be far more useful.

I would change the fact that they can't combo, I would love to see some chain damage in this game..

the whole combo thing wood be nice, (Bring Back Legend of Dragoon!!!!!!!), but i wood change.....Kuja's appearance. he looks a little bit too feminine to be evil. i'd make him look more intimidating and, well frankly scary. even in his Trance state, when you fight him the last time, he doesn't look too frieghtening. he looks like he's going to a masquerade ball or something.

Making training easier. I don't mind sitting around training usually, but getting my chars up to Lv99 on FFIX took a lot longer than other FF's. Its cos the EXP is split.

Oh yeah, the split of the EXP Points..... I didn't like that either. This shouldn't be like that. :(

But you can just kill of three characters and train that one character up. That's what I did. Fight the Grand Dragons.

How do you kill them?

I would change nothing.. hahahaa

Equip the Coral Ring on all characters (they can all equip it) you may have buy three more. That way, Thundaga, will just heal them. Get Steiner to use Iai Strike (it kills them straight away) They only have ~16000 HP. If you keep Steiner alive with Counterattack on with a high strength. You can then train him up really easily.

It may be a bit harder with other characters who aren't physically strong, such as Garnet, Eiko, Vivi, but just keep them both alive (Steiner and whoever) to give them each ~17500 EXP.)

Hope that helps.

Thank you. It will be now more easier to train lol.

those are the big stupid dragons on top of Gizamluke's Grotto? or is it the ice cave? whichevea it was i neva could beat them, now i no. but either way, it did kinda take 4ever to level up and i didn't like that so i guess that wood be a nice change. also how did Garnet come out human if Queen Brein is...wuteva the hell she is?

Garnet really isn't the daughter of Queen Brahne- she fled Madain Sari as a child with her mother when it was under attack. Her real mother didn't survive the voyage across the ocean. but Garnet did, and replaced the true princess if i remember correctly

Yea, Terra Child is right. The actual Princess Garnet had died, so when they found Dagger they notice her resembalance to Garnet. They named her Garnet, and removed her summoners horn. So she was raised since she was six as Princess of Alexandria.

..I know that you can findout daggers real name at the Eidolon Wall, but Im not sure how

I answered to theis thread already, but I found another thing I'd change :) It would be really cool to be able to name all of the bad guys, wouldn't it?

I would change.... hmm...
Oh! I would DEFINITELY change the way they put things on the screen! What I mean is, when I first went to Lindblum (disc 1) I could NOT find any stairs that lead down to the Tantalus hideout cuz that stupid bush by the fence, which is right in your face on the screen, was hiding them! That bugged me the worst!

SPOILERS:One thing I would change is to have Kuja be the final boss, like instead of falling after defeating him he would merge with the crystal and be another form and The Final Battle music would start.:)

****SPOILERS****I don't think I would change that but I respect your opinion. But I would change another thing, they say at the back of the mini book I think, they say the crystal returns, well we see ONE crystal and its at the end of the game..geez.

Kuja looked gay, he woulda been cool if his face wasnt so femanin, he looked pretty cool, but that face....

the way that the last boss isnt actually mentioned till a munite before you fight him

Theres a thread here (http://forums.ffshrine.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16938) where someone complains about necron. But Tokiko explains it pretty well.

now my hat off to that, it is a good explination. I however, do still hold my point that i would have liked a hint, perhaps garland dropping a line, or kuja... a single line, so that necron didnt seem as much of a "quick intro/outro" as it were. Still i do full see what the guy was on about...

I get what your saying, but in a way Necron is not real so no one would be able to mention him. He is just a fixture of memories and such and he came out because of kuja and the whole human destruction thing.

so there wouldnt be anyway of mentioning him since his pretty much non-existant

damnit you are good. I yield
