### Score Big with 60% Off on Final Fantasy IX

The game sets the stage with the Tantalus Theatre Troupe arriving in the Kingdom of Alexandria under the guise of performing for Princess Garnet’s birthday. Their true motive, however, is to kidnap her. Meanwhile, Vivi, a young black mage, is excited to attend the performance until he discovers his ticket is a forgery. In this enchanting, storybook-like world, follow the journey of Zidane the thief, Princess Garnet, and Vivi as they embark on a spectacular crystal-laden adventure filled with emotion and intrigue.

Upon hitting the PS1 in 2000, Final Fantasy IX was met with rave reviews. It boasts an impressive average score of 94 from 22 critic reviews on Metacritic. Even if it isn’t as well-known as some earlier titles in the series, it’s actually the best-rated of them all on Metacritic.

There’s no better time to dive into Final Fantasy IX than now, especially as it marks its 25th anniversary. In celebration, Square Enix has launched a special website commemorating the occasion. Coinciding with this, there’s buzz about a possible announcement, perhaps hinting at a remake. Keep your fingers crossed as we wait to see if these rumors come true.
