Final Fantasy 9
You heard right Final Fantasy 9 is going to be the final FF game to appear
on Playstation
platform. But the series isn’t ending there. FFX and FFXI are already
on the way.
Final Fantasy 9 has a new flavour to the game. The graphical, technical presentation
of
VII and VIII – pre-rendered environments, 3D characters, transitory
FMV segues –
remains intact, but the world of knights and mages on display harks back to
FFV an even
earlier. It also goes back to the have 4 party members . With three, one is
inevitably
assigned as healer and support. With four, your battle plans can become more
complaex
and enable you to set up craftier moves.
Item Ability
As with earlier FF titles, the system has returned to an inventory system
that gives each
character four equipment slots to hold their weapon, armour, shield and an
accessory.
This is to accommodate FFIX’s new Item Ability System. When equipped,
an item may
confer a special ability or bonus on the wielder. This ability is solely accessible
through
use of the item at first, but if the character exercises the power sufficiently,
then they
may come to learn it for themselves.
Magic
Final Fantasy has always had a magic system based on elemental oppositions.
In FF tradition, Black Magic is aggressive and ranges from fireballs to poison.
Practions
of White Magic are healers and hold combat defensive spells. The third school
of magic
recurrent throughout the series is Call Magic, and it is has been confirmed
that Monster
Summoning will play a major role again
