Final Fantasy 9 is the ninth main installment in the franchise,. After the sci-si steampunk style of Final Fantasy VII+VIII, is a return to the classic series roots, making it into a medieval fantasy setting, but also things like the class distributions per character, instead of that dynamic that Materia and GFs could do.

It is considered like a love letter to the franchise, & you can already tell by just looking at the details in the game, from the atmosphere it provides, to the gameplay features.

These games tend to make the iconic monsters, spells, weapons, or even character names appear through most of the installments, giving some identity to them, but still keeping their individuality as a standalone game.

What I want to focus on, is not these shared elements of every game, but rather the callbacks and references that 9 makes to the other releases specifically, that makes it so special.
