Final Fantasy IX + Walkthrough guide

Final Fantasy IX is a console role-playing game developed and published by Square (now Square Enix), and the ninth installment in the Final Fantasy series. It was released in 2000, and is the third and last numbered Final Fantasy game for Sony's PlayStation. Set in a fantasy world of Gaia, Final Fantasy IX's plot centers on a war between several nations, sparked by an ambitious queen. Players follow a young thief named Zidane Tribal, who joins with several others to defeat the Queen. The plot shifts, however, when the characters realize that the Queen is a puppet for an arms dealer named Kuja. Final Fantasy IX was developed alongside Final Fantasy VIII, but took a different path to return to the series' roots with a more traditional fantasy setting. Consequently, Final Fantasy IX was influenced heavily by the original Final Fantasy, and features allusions to other Final Fantasy games. Final Fantasy IX introduced new features to the series, such as the Active Time Event, Mognet, and a revamped equipment and skill system. The game has been subject to generally positive reviews and some consider it the best game in the series. However, the game received mixed reception for its return to the style of older Final Fantasy games.

MeTV12 (2008-08-15)

Which of the three files (.ccd, .img, and .sub) do I burn to disc for each of the four discs?

arata75 (2008-08-18)

I thnk I only need to download either the .cdd OR the .img, not both right? And what the hell do I do with the small .sub files?

shananey69 (2008-08-29)

Toggy1337 (2008-08-30)

stefblades (2008-09-14)

:))

cmiuc (2008-09-15)

Thank you Ashamael !!!
Has anyone installed this on Vista?
Also, anyone familiar with FF XI... its only an online game yes? and if so, need the keygen to make a registration code... anyone have idea?
Thanks a million!

cmiuc (2008-09-15)

sorry... i found another ffxi that answered my question... plz disregard my ???'s.

moonw (2008-09-17)

Hey guys, need a bit of help!
Just leaving Deli Village on the airship, but it messes up during the cut scene after they get on. Game stops working.
I'm using the ePSXe emulator. Any know what's wrong?

respect555 (2008-10-04)

euhm, can anyone tell me what i did wrong, cause everytime i open my psx emulator and select the ff9 iso, it runs in a black window, nothing happens, i waited 1 hour, still black
please help me :D

-shad0w (2008-10-07)

Could someone write a fast guide how to burn the game?
(My psx is chipped)
I love this game so much PLEASE help :D

respect555 (2008-10-07)

i realy want to play this game, please tell me how to do, whatever it is that has to be done to play the game :D
thx in advance

_Gnetagalten (2008-10-09)

AAAAWW COME ON!!!
The first cd is 735 mb
i just bought 25 700 mb cd's to burn this game (and have some cds extra :O)

squall_leonhart69r (2008-10-09)

Its a CCD file, ignore the size. it'll burn correctly to a 700mb cd

redtheghost (2008-10-19)

ePSXe never worked for me, despite my attempts to get it to configure properly. Even when I used real games, the graphics would be really bad
simple solution: download pSX 1.13
The emulator is totally self contained, and I've never had any problems with games.
I believe the only thing you need to do is get scph1001 and make a memory card file

redtheghost (2008-10-19)

just one thing:
.rar or .zip this next time please? =]

scytaliz (2008-11-01)

Ty for putting up such an awesome game, I never got to finish it and you made it possible!

Zidaneix (2008-11-05)

Can you put up Final Fantasy VII like this too? As an ISO file i mean :)

SecretsInPublic (2008-11-18)

Thanks for the up!! I've been waiting to play this game!!
Only problem is that I burned it onto a CD so I can play it on my PS.. It loads up, but if painfully slow.. 5 minutes and I still couldn't get past the intro! Is there something I can do to fix this? Perhaps I'm burning it wrong? I used CloneCD as I saw many other people have used this...Any suggestions?

kingspade303 (2008-11-26)

Thanks for the awesome upload man beat 7 and 8 in the past week but i aint played this in like 6 yrs thanks again man

TheJekyllAndHydeEffect (2008-12-02)

Seed please, thanks.
Stuck at 99.90% :O.

Diias (2008-12-03)

Not sure what file to burn to the disc and then how to get it running on the psx, i read the help a bit but either skipped/missed these part's
Any help in detail would be greatly appreciated :)

bambamzaw (2008-12-07)

How can i download the torrent? help pls!

j3s5e4631 (2008-12-10)

question. im running this on vista (if that has anything to do with my problem) and i dont know if its the torrent or the emulator or vista, but when i started playing the first battle of the game the battle menus didnt show. any ideas?

Valanth (2008-12-15)

@ j3s5e4631
If you're using ePSXe for your emulator, you'll encounter the same problem in FFVIII. In order to have menus, you have to set your video configuration to use P.E.Op.S. Soft Driver 1.18. That should fix your problem.

larkybaby (2008-12-21)

Fantastic torrent, game works like a charm. played it from begining to almost the end and have found no problems and i'm sure i won't find any in the rest

mdrrain (2009-01-12)

So if I wanted to play this on my ps3 would it work? If so what would I create an "exact copy" of the CCD file? I'm new to this kind of thing so I am just a lil confused.

CHAoS18 (2009-01-16)

Hello i encounterd a small problem on the third disc.
In Alexandria when right after the card tournament the FMV dosent start the screen goes black and nothing happens anyone who knows what i shall do to prevent this i tried diffrent video modules already.

fumar127 (2009-01-23)

I dont know how to get this working on the PSX emulator... Please help this poor noob :(

fluxx__ (2009-02-06)

thanks!! my 3rd disc didn't work on my ps so i just decided to download it and play on teh computer instead!! works great, a wee bit jumpy through out, but only for a couple of seconds tops!! thanks for this!! i will seed ;)

Milan1337Wolf (2009-03-15)

Great Torrent. I'll seed for a week.
By the way, It would be great if you would upload Final Fantasy X and X-2.

skeelsftw (2009-03-25)

Uhm, I've got a tiny problem. The game worked fine (apart from slow loading times when I got random battles) but when I got to the part on disc 1 where the party is gonna take off with the ship "not going to lindblum", the movie sequence stops, outta nowhere. If anyone of you know how to solve this, help please! :)

skeelsftw (2009-03-25)

Oh, and I use ePSXe 1.6.0 btw, if that has anything to do with it!

skeelsftw (2009-03-25)

Awlawl, never mind my previous 2 comments! Problem solved: used 1.5.2 instead of 1.6.0 >.< I'm really dumb sometimes

Barbarian1471 (2009-05-27)

Cheers for putting this up ashamael.
Not sure if anyone can help me out, but would sure appreciate it if they could. I've downloaded pSX v1.13, got myself a BIOS and then this FF9 torrent. I insert CD image on the emulator and everything's cool, intro starts and music's fine. But I can't get any controls to work at all. I don't have a pad, just want to use the keyboard but nothing works - not F4, not Enter, not Escape - zilch, nada. I just get stuck on the menu screen as I can't move the cursor.
Anyone got any suggestions?

Barbarian1471 (2009-05-28)

Ah ok, no worries figured it out. I wasn't allowing the DINPUT8.dll to be installed each time. Comodo was getting in the way. Once allowed everything is running hunky-dory!

zineorzomg (2009-06-24)

ummmm how does this work? i downloaded the psx thing but idk how to make the game play )= sheesh all i wanna do is play ff9

grate (2009-07-15)

Errr seed please x3

rogutus (2009-07-21)

I got same problem as skeelsftw.
Game gets stuck in that scene and I have alt + f4 out of the game. Any helps?

hillestad (2009-07-24)

tell me. is (PSX) so i can play it at computer. never really understanded that yet. so please tell me:D

jorgehsb2 (2009-07-28)

I play with epsxe, i havent download it yet (56%) how to i proced when i`ll go to the 2nd CD?

rogutus (2009-08-05)

I think after you clear first cd there comes save spot. after that the game says pls insert disc 2. then you mount/insert 2 disc to driver and continue playing.

alexxval (2009-08-15)

Hey,um... i`m a newbie here. Loves downloading torrents. Also want to seed. But i dont know how to seed, so can anyone tell me the way?

nickguyatt (2009-11-15)

Great torrent. As soon as I set ePSXe to use P.E.Op.S. Soft Driver 1.18 in video configuration the game worked perfectly. I've never really been into console roleplaying games before, just tried this for the retro value, but this game has DEFINITELY changed my mind.

JThorner (2009-11-19)

skeelsftw--->
I have the same problem as you did. As soon as the FMV starts and the ship "not going to Lindblum" takes of, the picture freezes. What to do?! Using ePSXe v. 1.6.0 on Vista..

SpoonyShiz (2009-11-28)

Thx for upload ashamael, bee tee dubs, I can only get it to play under the fast setting in ePSXe but the game runs really fast. If I set it to nice then it won't load at all. Anyone know a way around this?

VJDiah (2010-10-07)

Game seems to be working great so far, if anyone is having issues with the game running to fast. Go into Psx video settings, configure your FPS down to somthing more around 100 or lower. Mine was at 200.0 by default. Thanks for the torrent

VJDiah (2010-10-07)

Bump, better yet just change it to Auto detect.=-)

logrotmaster_13 (2010-11-15)

how come i cannot see the command menu when in the battle scene already?? i was even excited to play this game because all are bundled up in one torrent! please reply asap!! please help me, anyone can answer! i am using epsxe v1.6.0. is there a problem with my version??

lavaflav (2011-03-16)

I'm having the same problem. If anyone has an answer, I sure would appreciate it.

Jutzi1234 (2011-04-04)

When I get into battles there is no command menu. Could somebody plz tell me a fix for that.

Dollymagic (2011-04-05)

I have a question, i have a psx emulator on my mobile android phone, can i download this torrent and just play it on my phone?

TheOnlyBlade (2011-04-13)

I'm using DaemonTools, and i'm trying to mount the image. Sadly it says it's not "Compatable", does anyone else know a program that i can use?

TheOnlyBlade (2011-04-13)

Also for all those who "Cannot" See the command screen try using v1.7 Or try and get a diffrent Graphics plugin. Also make sure your using schph1001 for your bios.

Acailas (2011-11-07)

Love the torrent. Awesomeness dude, ty. For those of you having troubles with espxe, When using Pete's hardware (D3D/OGL) plugins, remember to set Offscreen Drawing to standard in order see the battle menus, and set Framebuffer Textures to Gfx Card Buffer (If your video card supports it). Hope this helps :)

Savior19 (2012-02-18)

when configuring the video in the frame rate rectangle section set your fps at 100 and also chech the box that says use frame limit. i also checked the
