I finished FF9! Including the superbosses! A few achievements are still up, but I'm not sure if I will tackle them (I'm interested in trying Excalibur II, but can't be arsed to kill 10000 enemies).

What do you think I should play next?

Final Fantasy VII OG?
Final Fantasy VIII?

25 years ago today one of the best entries in the Final Fantasy series was released. At first glance, it's easy to consider Final Fantasy IX as a light and whimsical title, especially in the shadow of FFVII. But anyone who has played the game knows that beyond its colourful characters and gorgeous scenery, it explores themes of existentialism, identity, finding your chosen family, finding love and acceptance as you are, and also finding yourself and what it means to carve your own path and to make the choices that define you, despite your past or what inner or outer darkness you are fighting against.

It's a story that asks some very deep questions about dealing with depression, the meaning of life, and the fear of death and loss, that ultimately rejects nihilism by emphasising how even the realisation that existence is temporary and mortality is inevitable doesn't diminish the importance of connecting, loving, sharing, hoping, experiencing the little moments, and fighting for a better world. It's one the most beautiful and hopepunk games to have come out in the last few decades that remains more relevant than ever, and is well worth discovering even today.

Well, Final Fantasy VI completed. I really loved this game as much like FFX.

FFX was my first in FF series and the most nostalgic I have.

But the FFVI has something special, his ambient, theme, a little of steampunk...

About the final boss was sublime, quite easy but good music, good aspect, etc. Now is my second favorite.

I said 'pretty easy' due I had two characters at lvl 99 and the others >70

The final boss only lasted 1 minute hahah

Now i just need to do the post-game part.

Recommended? YES!
Which version? I only played the GameBoy Advance but... don't kill me pls... is the best version.
