I agree. PS1 games don't get as much love as 8bit or 16bit games but they still have they're own distinct style. I love the MGS1 character model,even if they looked like potatoes bobbing their heads when they talk, but they certainly have their own place in gaming history.

IX isn't the last classic FF on PS1 though.

Tactics, yo.

Sorry misspelled

Did you play the MGS series before? If this is your first time then you should probably make the thread(s) after you're done because of spoilers.

P.S All MGS game are grounded in realism, but don't take them that seriously. It's a game about Japanese mecha robots after all, it even says so in the title. :P Just remember that context is more important than canon. 

The MGS series has a lot of self referential "easter eggs". The story and characters also allude to many different games and movies, which require a certain level of sophistication from the player to understand. Otherwise these things won't be noticed on the first playthrough. Would be great if you made a thread so we can discuss these things, but they are indeed short and it's your call.

I played FF9 for a few hours. I'm liking it so far and it's hard to describe what's it's so good about it because the mechanics are really simple yet rewarding. I also remembered why I stopped playing it. Each battle needs at least 20 seconds to start and I couldn't get used to that. I bought it around the time Bravely Default came out and I thought I was better off playing a new turn-based RPG. I didn't get it though, so I wound up playing neither :p

Well... yeah. I'm sure these games were well designed for their time, and the developers were very creative in thinking of ways to work around the hardware's limitations, but it's hard for me to adjust for the unnecessary delay time. Don't worry though, I've already set my mind on finishing it.

I think you're mistaking IX with VII and VIII!

I'm not! LOOK AT THIS!!

What is this pixelated mess?!

Here's the orchestral version of Vamo' alla Flamenco:

I'll put up orchestrations of other tracks after you get past a certain point.

Dude this is a PSX game, the graphics were beyond amazing for its time.
