Final Fantasy IX. EPIC.


Computer games, pathetically, are often discouraged by the older generations as they often think that they bring negative impact to the souls of youths.

In fact, have you ever thought that a game can actually shape the mind of the younger generations to a better one?

Especially the genre of RPG (not MMORPG definitely). A good storyline, added with numerous of striking conflicts and dilemmas, perfected with the superbly fitted soundtracks, that's capable of changing the life of people who play it forever.

What have you heard from the song above? Maybe not that clear for those who had never played Final Fantasy IX, Square's last installments on the old PS One. Well, it's such a wonderful mix of feelings for me. A tune of deepest sorrow and despair, but even at such helpless moments, you can still listen the existence of hope from this song. Never expected so much of emotions out from this rather simple song don't you?

"To be forgotten is worse than death." Does it reminisce your feelings? And it's one of the golden quotes in the game itself!

And that's Final Fantasy IX. Pretty much underrated due to the release of Final Fantasy X on PS Two which happened to be just month after it. But in my opinion, it's the best of all and after so many years, it's still such a wonderful game to be replayed.

Ask me ten most important things that changes my life, and Final Fantasy will definitely be one of it. Mark my word.
