did you know Final Fantasy IX is available on the Switch?

i found out last week and i've been fuckall productive since then. it turns out replaying beloved old RPGs is delightful when you can just hit the "win" button to blast through battles that you just don't wanna deal with. 10/10 nostalgia experience, would play again.

rather than properly reviewing this ohmygodican'tbelieveit'ssooldi'mgettingold 19-year-old game, i'm just dumping a bunch of random thoughts here, loosely arranged, for anyone who also enjoys rolling around in blather about 19-year-old games.

coherence )

an extended rant about terra )

more game writing stuff )

final passing thoughts on set pieces & space )

finally, the way that the first minute of this song just plays on loop the whole time you're equipping your party for the final battle is freaky as fuck, that is some A+ underappreciated sound design i never noticed before, bless you Nobuo Uematsu.

and yeah, that's a wrap. FFIX was really fun and joyous and tween-aged me had solid taste. god bless modern ports
