Final Fantasy IX is a story about an evil queen's desire to gain world domination, and a group of bandits that try to stop her. Brahne, the queen of Alexandria, is using highly advanced magical weapons to menace neighboring kingdoms. Dispatched by the king of a threatened nation, an intrepid group of bandits sets out to stop the queen from achieving her goal of world domination, only to find that she is merely the cover for a far more sinister plot. A powerful sorcerer named Kuja is the one responsible for supplying Brahne with the magical weapons. What are his goals? Why did he join forces with Brahne? Where do his weapons come from? For the sake of mankind, the answers must be uncovered before Kuja can execute his plan for world destruction.
A gripping storyline, unforgettable cast, unparalleled graphics - sounds like the blueprint for yet another Final Fantasy. Following in the decade-long tradition of the series, Final Fantasy IX debuts with a brand new story and cast. This time however, a request from the fans to return the series to its roots yielded a title that is distinctly different from its recent predecessors. Unlike many other game franchises, Final Fantasy s a constantly evolving series. While no two titles are ever alike, players can be sure that the latest one benefits from what was learned from developing its predecessor. As the last Final Fantasy to appear on the PlayStation, Final Fantasy IX is the heir to over ten years of game development. The result of drawing upon this much experience and history, is a title that blends both the successful elements of the past such as a return to the fantasy roots, with the innovations of the future, such as high quality computer graphics. In the end, Squaresoft is pleased to announce that the result is a title that serves as a fitting conclusion to a decade of RPG excellence.
