I finally finished Final Fantasy IX
I've spent the last half hour or so crying, but I finished it! It's been 13 years and 11 months to the day since this game was released, which means... I DID IT IN UNDER 14 YEARS! YES!
Another video game liveplay complete. 642 comments. /basks in the glory
Expect a sexy post from me in the morning before I move on to [replaying] Final Fantasy X [which I did already finish, thank you very much].

So, you hadn't played it before? I'm not judging, I still have VII, X and XII flying around at home and so far I've only played XII till the last mission, I think. But as I've left my TV and gaming equipment behind when I moved, chances are slim I'm going to complete any of these any time soon, hah.

Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, and Tales of games are really the only video games I have a solid track record with. I have completed Final Fantasy VI, VII, Crisis Core, maybe VIII but I didn't like it so maybe I just Youtubed the end I don't recall, IX as of last night, X, XII, and XIII. X-2 I wasn't able to finish because I'm a perfectionist and I couldn't be happy unless I was on track to get 100%, and XIII-2 I didn't finish because I hated it. I am still failing at everything before VI, although I have started all of them at various points in time.
On my Backloggery a full 40% of my video games are unfinished -- and that number is inflated because 1) roommates and friends played some of them while I spectated, and 2) I haven't added many of my newly-bought but never-played games...
But I finally made myself finish it and I'm so glad. /weeps
I have some video game emulation software if you ever wanted to give some of those a try using your computer. I can emulate DS, GBA, GC, PS1, PS2, PSP, and SNES games.

Once you have it open and running, on MY version you go into the CDVD menu > ISO Selector > Browse... and then you select the ISO of the game you want to play. I only have Chain of Memories for the PS2 emulator, so I can't hook you up with the first KH game in ISO format. Try theisozone? Then once your ISO is selected you go into System > Boot CDVD and it will start up the game!
It looks like you might be able to put a physical copy of a PS2 game into the DVD slot and just say System > Boot CDVD and maybe it will play?? But I haven't tried it and all my PS2 games are in boxes so idk for sure.
It's easiest to play games with an emulator if you have a USB controller or something so that you're not fumbling around with the keyboard while you play; you can get them for like $10 or something. Either way, go into Config > Controllers > Plugin Settings to customize which buttons do which things, e.g. the up button should correspond to the up on the directional pad, I want the triangle button to be the I key / the Y button on my USB controller / etc.
I think that's all the info you need to get rolling?! If you have any questions I will do what I can.

YOU'RE GOING TO LIVEBLOG FFX, RIGHT

I was debating BUT IF YOU WOULD ENJOY READING IT, I WILL SURELY LIVEBLOG IT. I have fun doing them so it's not hard to convince me.

P.S. If you decide to pick up where you left off on FFIX instead of start over, you were on page 9 last. I know this because I'm reading the FFIX liveblog I just finished instead of doing anything responsible. /shifty glances

And duly noted! When I have some free time again (hahahaha sob) I will throw myself headlong into the adventures of Zidane and Jerry the Weird Thing.
