> Why did they go from the more grimdark/realistic stories of ff6-8 to ff9's tone, is the game good? I feel like it's talked much elss than ff7/8/10


According to the developers themselves, the ninth part was primarily created on the basis of the first five parts. The developers wanted to collect all the best and recreate everything on new technologies, in fact, this is the last game in the series on Playstation 1, it squeezed all the technical juices out of it, despite the fact that in some ways it may seem that the Ninth part took a step back, especially against the background of the eight, up to the fact that the eighth part was the first game in which the whole team was displayed, the main characters were depicted as real people, and in full height, and the Ninth part suddenly took and decided to abandon everything. In fact, it was done on purpose and such aesthetics and dwarf people and such a small fairy-tale world, and some outdated mechanics - they were made specifically in tribute to the past, that is, it is such a summary of the life of the Final Fantasy series, and actually for this reason many developers have this part is the most favorite and important.
