    I loved this game nearly 16 years ago as a joyous farewell to a series I felt was drifting away from me.

    A solid port of one of the best games ever made. It's expensive, but you'll get an awful lot of bang for your buck.

    If you’re a fan of the game, a fan of the series who’s been wanting to try this particular entry, or an RPG fan in general, definitely consider giving it a try.

    Final Fantasy IX is still as good as it was on PlayStation. Also, this is a solid adaptation, and no matter if you missed it back in the day or if you want to replay it, the mobile version will live up to your expectations.

    Final Fantasy IX is not a particularly great iOS port but it's good enough for die hard fans to enjoy on the go.
