FFIX is my favourite Final Fantasy game, and in my top ten of favourite games ever, thats how special is for me.
So thanks Mama Robotnik for all the awesome art you discovered, Im going to pass it also to a friend that is a great FFIX fan.
Im going to add no other RPG has the amazing and numerous towns FFIX has, that is what I most hate of RPGs, that nobody is trying to do this types of towns anymore all around their world map (and not a big one, that doesnt even look as cool as some of the cities of FFIX, and some small shitty villages). Even the small villages designs were amazing (like Dali).
And the characters were so fun and the story so lighthearted, it would be a breath of fresh air even if released right now.
Im sad like this is the cult game of the FF, because it surely need more love than the overrated FFVII.
Talking about art, some years ago I met one of the artists that worked on FFIX, Christian L Scheurer, on an exposition made in my university called Swiss Design in Hollywood (John Howe was also there). He was a great guy and I asked some questions about him working in FFIX that he gladly answered (he worked a lot on that game), and at the end I bought the book of the exposition and he signed me "To a big FFIX fan!" with a small drawing.
