Final Fantasy IX

Final Fantasy IX is the ninth installment of the Final Fantasy series. It was originally released for the PlayStation in 2000. The game in part serves as a retrospective, and has several allusions to earlier Final Fantasy games. As such, it departs from the futuristic settings of Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VII, and Final Fantasy VIII, although the setting was added back into Final Fantasy X.

The story takes place during a war on the planet Gaia. The main protagonist is a thief named Zidane Tribal, who kidnaps Garnet Til Alexandros XVII as part of a gambit by the neighboring nation of Lindblum. They go on a journey together, along with more characters joining along the way, to take down Garnet's mother, Queen Brahne.
