I love how the intro melody (that comes from the classic final fantasy games) plays constantly in the track in the background as if it were a more essential tribute than a simple detail reminiscent of old Final Fantasy normal battle soundtracks. Very ingenious.
FFIX isn't my favorite game of the FF franchise. Though it's been a very long time since I last played it. But this battle theme just slaps hard. That alone makes me want to give the game a try again.
@@ADcrackerjack Not many people played it, because it was released right before the transition between PS2. PS2 was announced before this was dropped so people were waiting for the PS2 to buy PS games, so it was passed on.
Ive always loved this theme compared to other ff game this one has a feeling of "its not that serious man" vibe to me, like its fun yet intense like your party knows they can win the fight but also no shame in running if you want
My favourite game of all time is FF7 which Im obsessed about since 2020 when I got into it with the remake, my 2nd and 3rd favourite games are ff6 and ff10 but this is my favourite battle theme of the entire series despite me just recently getting into ff9 myself; I cant believe I never heard how good this game is from ANYONE before
Basically OG FF7 happened with a strong nature vs sci fi theme, departing heavily from the dungeon and dragons roots and then overshadowed every other FF, especially FF8. So by FF9, the playstation 1 is on it's end of life and squaresoft decided to go back to the roots, (literally, every single character is based off their FF1 counterpart) and we were like : where the heck is the sci fi theme ?
If they ever remake this (as the same game) they gotta make the battle flow like 10-2 where multiple characters can do actions at the same time looool. Either that or trim down the length of ALL animations by half to 2 thirds
