Is that a real problem? I take less issue paying too much for a game in hindsight than never have the option to play an original copy of *insert moderately enjoyable N64/SNES/PS hype game here* on console.
I know you were half joking, but keep in mind SE is still selling new copies of this game.

Why even bother spoiler tagging when what's spoiler tagged is obvious.
Thanks a bunch for the spoiler. Not all of us have played the game before.
Final Fantasy IX (PS4) |OT| The Place I'll Return To Someday
Fine, I edited it out, but it's not exactly what you think.

I presumed you meant said character dies, but I appreciate the reassurance that it might not be that simple.
It's not that simple. Don't worry about it.

The story in the game is laughably trash, but it has some well written characters.
I mean, I managed to dodge 200 lightning strikes, surely these trophies can't be that ba-

This is why I gave up on trophies. This doesn't enhance the game at all.

But the characters' stories are incredible so...?

I'm not jumping that fucking rope 1000 times in a row, Square. Fuck yooooooooooooou!
Ugh I'm so jealous. ;_;
If there was one game I could wipe from my memory and go back to afresh, it'd be this one. Keep us updated on how you're enjoying it!
Me too, but these experiences do crop up. My first time playing Bravely Default was the same, and I've deleted Octopath Traveller demo because I could feel similar vibes and didn't want to spoil anything.

Have not noticed this. I even got 100 nobles on my first try.

1000 jump ropes without tripping ?
Are you fucking kidding me ? That's a nearly impossible task with emulators and save states let alone in a 'normal' state.

The only correct OT title
Thats a hard question. Are you used to jrpgs? Do you Care about graphics? Do you like turn based games or action games? Like modern setting or medieval fantasy setting?
IX is a great place to start, as it embodies everything the creator of the series is best known for.
The presentation is also easier to swallow than 7's. But if the graphics are offputting, maybe start with X HD, which is a bit more linear but is basically FF for beginners. Or go oldschool and try FF4.
Type-0 is not representative of the series at all, it's a spinoff. I personally enjoyed it despite its flaws but if you don't know shared elements of the series a lot of its references will fall flat, and it's an ARPG rather than a turn based entry like the majority of mainline FF's.
But 9 will teach you the pantheon of FF summons, what named series weapons are considered "ultimate weapons", what certain series classes/jobs are represented by which characters, names of spells, types of monsters, an appreciation of airships, chocobos, you name it, it's got it.

My heart hurts.
Laughably trash should be reserved for the likes of Tales of Symphonia 2 or Kingdom Hearts, it's a more straightforward story maybe than some other games in the series but I certainly wouldn't say it's bad
I dont say how anyone could say this game's story is trash unless they just think every Japanese game in general has a trash story. This is good fantasy stuff that has sadness happiness epic moments and romance wrapped all into one

Yup. Making jump rope a lot harder. FFX and X-2 had it too. It's not that bad though. I really only notice it during precision minigames.

There's a special place in Hell for the person who thought that 1000 rope jump trophy was a good idea. I'd never attempt it myself, but you know there's some poor sod out there who's going to devote a massive amount of time towards obtaining it, only to end up failing on the 989th jump or something.

I'm legitimatley disgusted.
Except the figures I'm talking about were long after all three titles had been released. Even 2 years after the release of IX, VIII had fallen out of the top 10 while both VII and IX were consistently on it. Timing of release no longer accounts for that, particularly in the case of VII.

So after 3 hours of trying last night and only ever managing to get to 330 jump ropes, I tried again today and did this on my first try.

Bless you for having the patience to do that trophy. I gave up on Lulu and would probably do the same for this one.
Your "figures" is a top download list that goes by a monthly format and has included VIII on multiple occasions. There is no actual sales numbers and you're making baseless speculation on the reason IX was chosen first.
IX also had a 6 month gap release after VIII which means we have no way of knowing if VIII's sales were bigger before that or if IX because it was in the top 10 downloads for a couple years more consistently(VIII was still very frequently in the top 10) and that was because it was selling much more. VII is not comparable to both games in any shape or form since it has been consistently in the top 10 for over 6 years something neither VIII nor IX could do. Then there's the fact that VIII sold a hell of a lot more on Steam so determining numbers as a reason is even more complicated.
The most we can say is all three games sold extremely well on the playstation store and that the only game we can for sure say sold the most was VII.
First time playing this game... and I literally could nail the second jump in the jump rope mini game even after multiple tries. The timing completely eludes me for some reason. How screwed am I if I want to ignore this mini game for the rest of my playthrough? Am I going to miss some kind of an ultimate equipment or a unique item?

I'll await some genius finding an exploit or trick to overcome the 1000 rope jump challenge!
