Title: Great animation, but no originality
Product review: Final Fantasy IX starts out as being a completely different experience. However, it is soon apparent that Square was not thinking correctly when doing this storyline. The monsters almost all bear names that have appeared in previous titles, the black mage (though cool) and the Dragon Knight (wicked, but enough is enough) resurface quickly and linger throughout the game. At first it's fun to see these popular themes resurface, but it has gone way too far. The only plus sides to this game that I can think of are: the great graphics and animation and the music (Uematsu has done it again!) Plus the RPG is too short; if you can get an item by beating the game in less than 12 hours, it is too short, ok? No questions asked.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
