Final Fantasy IX Screenshots

May 20th, 2000.

Alexandria's main square reminds us a bit of Final Fantasy VII's Kalm, but only this time the grand, European-style housing omits a warm glow with their red bricks and roofing rather than the cold colours of Final Fantasy VII.

1 - These are Alexandria's shops with the four highlighted being a hat shop (bottom left), a flower shop (bottom-right), a weapon shop (top-left) and a restaurant and inn (top right).

2 - This is where VIVI did some rope-jumping to win an item - Final Fantasy IX will have many mini-games.

3 - This is the ticket booth where VIVI can buy tickets for the Prima Vista shows.

4 - This is the entrance to Alexandria's castle (where Garnet resides).

5 - When VIVI searched around here, a exclamation mark appeared above his head indicating that he hand come across something - players will have to explore a great deal to get the most out of Final Fantasy IX.

6 - This is where a letter was hidden in the door.

7 - Searching around in this old lady's house will resulted in VIVI discovering 9 gil - probably her life's savings. :)

8 - If VIVI speaks to the person here, he will be told about the location of three cards, suggesting that the much-acclaimed card game in Final Fantasy VIII will be making a come-back.


VIVI has to make a decision in the town square.	VIVI has to make another decision.

VIVI skips with a girl to win an item. Note the very tudor-esque buildings.	VIVI discovers 9 Gil in an old lady's house. Does the mage have no morals? :)
