Final Fantasy IX is a 2000 role-playing video game developed and published by Squaresoft for the PlayStation video game console. It is the ninth game in the main Final Fantasy series. Players follow bandit Zidane Tribal, who kidnaps Alexandrian Princess Garnet Til Alexandros XVII as part of a gambit by the neighboring nation of Lindblum. The game developed alongside Final Fantasy VIII. Envisioned by developers as a retrospective for the series, it departed from the futuristic settings of Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VII, and Final Fantasy VIII by returning to the medieval style of the earlier installments. Final Fantasy IX was released to critical acclaim and is often considered one of the greatest video games of all time. Final Fantasy IX was commercially successful, selling more than 5.5 million copies on PlayStation by March 2016. Ports featuring minor gameplay and graphical enhancements released for various other platforms in the late 2010s. (Full article...)

  • Comment: The blurb could use further work. It should have wikilinks, and it is currently too long (as it is currently at 1056 character, which is over the TFA recommendation of between 925 and 1025 characters). I think both of these points should be addressed prior to being featured on the main page. Aoba47 (talk) 22:47, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
