Entering Lindblum. The entrance to my favorite city.

Escape from the Evil Forest

Escape from the Evil Forest. Not that the other was bad, but it didn't really have any something special to me that would make me interested in voting for it.

escape from evil forest

Escape From Evil Forest I like them both, but Escape From Evil Forest has some cool, attacking roots action.

As one else would vote on this.

8-2, another landslide to add to the lineup.

vs

White Dragon Invasion
Whilst attacking Memoria white dragons appear left, right and centre to throw themselves at the invinible. Kamikaze white dragons with frigin laser beams attached to their frigin throats. Has a great tune in the background.]

I know a little biased information wise but meh.

White Dragon Invasion for me.

White Dragon Invasion. :D It's just that epic, together with the amazing music.

White Dragon Invasion

Alexander Saves the Day

White Dragon Invasion-Great music and graphics

White Dragon Invasion

Alexander Saves the Day

That whole sequence of FMVs is at the top of my list of favorites.

White Dragon Invasion
Both were good white dragon was just slightly better in my opnion.

White Dragon Invasion. Epic music, epic scenery, epic monsters, epic death. It has everything that IX stands for.

Great FMVs from memorable parts of the game, both. But White Dragon Invasion really does the job. Awesome stuff.

Very short, but very nice FMV as it moulds into the actual game.

vs

Kuja and Bahamut
Two old chums united in the fight against evil

Reminiscence in Memoria

Kuja And Bahamut hasn't really got that much to show, apart from Bahamut poppin' out and blasting away.

Reminiscence in Memoria, on the other hand, is short, yet, beautiful. :) I always loved each scene in Memoria, wether be in-game or fmv.

I like Cleyra and its overall look, I'm going to opt for Cleyra's Sandstorm Disappears.

Prima Vista Crashes, definitely. The silent shot of the actual crash gave me goosebumps!

Looks like it's gonna be pretty close. Cleyra's Sandstorm Disappears.

Invincable enters strange warpy thing with no idea whats behind it.

Entering Memoria Ftw

Both very exciting sequences, but I'm going to vote for Black Waltz and the Airship. =)

Black Waltz and the Airship

Entering Memoria Ftw

Best scene in the game imo.

Black Waltz and the Airship

I really enjoyed them both...but, I vote Entering Memoria because I liked how you're taken right into battle.

Black Waltz and the Airship. Both are good though.

Black Waltz and the Airship was definitely cooler for me. The Black Waltz was a pretty bad-ass character.

5-3 to Black Waltz.

Garnet's Memory

vs

Prima Vista Attempts to Escape

From now on the FF9 rumble will be my second priority over the VG character rumble. Dont' worry the only difference will be the lack of pointless mini description.

Prima Vista Attempts to Escape

Prima Vista Attempts to Escape

Not that Garnet's Memory was bad, but Prima Vista Attempts to Escape was just so much cooler.

Garnets Memory - I find this to be more important to the plot of the game. Plus, I really like the music piece that's connected to it, hehe.

Prima Vista Attempts to Escape. Its cool when Prima Vista comes out of all that smoke and escapes

Both are really cool sequences, but I somehow like Garnet's Memory a little bit more. :D Sure, the actions are wonderful in the Prima Vista scene, but cinematically, I really dig Garnet's flash back there. :)

Not that Garnet's Memory was bad, but Prima Vista Attempts to Escape was just so much cooler.

5-2 and Prima Vista Attempts to Escape takes the win comfortably.

Battle at Burmecia

vs

Escape from the Black Waltz
Action packed scene with Vivi taking the reigns and attempting to nuke the black waltz out the sky.

I like both a lot. I'm gonna go with Escape from the Black Waltz.

Both contain really beautiful shots. :D A really tough choice this is, 'cause I've always liked ending fmv of the first disc, even though it's an actual bad ending.

Then again, the Escape From The Black Waltz is very exciting.. and I'd hate to miss it in the finals of this rumble, so, ^_^.

Escape From The Black Waltz is my favorite in this round. It just strikes a chord with me.

Got to be Battle of Burmecia. Maybe I'm a sadistic cunt, but seeing your own characters utterly defeated on their backsides in the pouring rain while the villain looks on in disdain for your abilities, was quite brilliant IMO.

Escape From The Black Waltz is by no means a bad one though, either......

Hmmm I think I'll go with Escape From The Black Waltz as well. I have no idea why, I just like it more than watching Kuja, though the silver dragon did look cool.

Battle at Burmecia since it's a great introduction to Kuja and his flamboyance.

Battle at Burmecia. It was a scene where you really felt defeated. And I never really liked the Black Waltz much.

Prima Vista Attempts to Escape

vs

Alexander and the Invincable Continued

Prima Vista Attempts to Escape

Alexander and the Invincible Continued because it's such an important part of the plot. It shows Garland's distrust of Kuja and his attempt to regain control over him. This FMV is also the final blow to Alexandria by destroying even more of the castle. We see Alexander take his first, and last stand, in this game. Finally, we see Zidane in one of his most heroic (and maybe absurdly bold) acts - he rescues Eiko and Garnet by himself. Lets not forget that the events that unfold in this FMV are most likely the last straw for Garnet, thus causing her to turn inwards and become mute for quite a while.

Alexander and the Invincible Continued for reasons stated above

Alexandria12 summed it up real good. :D Besides, even visually, this FMV beats the Prima Vista escape.

Alexander and the Invincible Continued
