The legendary Final Fantasy IX has just turned 25 years old today with no less than a quarter of a century of history. It seems like it was just yesterday (as we often say) when the game was released, but nothing could be further from the truth, as a quarter of a century has passed since its debut and, as expected, Square Enix is celebrating.

For many, (including myself) it’s one of the best Final Fantasy games ever created. This is a matter of taste, but for me, it has all the ingredients of a great Final Fantasy, which is why I have a special fondness for it. Moreover, the best part is that if you didn’t play it back in the day, you should remember that it’s been available on Xbox for a few years now, so we can’t think of a better excuse than its 25th anniversary to recommend it.
