10 Reasons To Replay Final Fantasy IX After 20 Years

3. Awesome Battles

Final Fantasy IX intro
Square Enix

In a nostalgic nod to the job system, each character has a unique set of skills and abilities. This makes planning for battle all the more important, along with obtaining everyone’s weapons and powers.

Using Zidane’s “Steal” command, you can find some of the most effective weapons and armour in midst of battle. Hidden in this equipment are key abilities, such as magic, special moves, and monsters to summon.

There’s also the Trance system, which is similar to VII’s Limit Break in that characters get temporarily stronger after taking a certain amount of damage. And, if you so wish, you can plug another controller into the PlayStation and battle alongside a friend.
