Final Fantasy I, we got the hero and the villain.
Final Fantasy II, we got a lot of references like the Wild Rose.
Final Fantasy III, we got the Cloud of Darkness and Crystal Tower.
Final Fantasy IV, we got an entire expansion in Endwalker.
Final Fantasy V, we got the job system, Exdeath, and much more.
Final Fantasy VI, we are literally dripping with everything FF6.
Final Fantasy VII, we got limit breaks and Knights of the Round
Final Fantasy VIII, we got the Eden raids, Triple Triad, and Gunbreaker.

Final Fantasy IX, which the expansion was ready to go gungho, we got some vague suggestions of two cities, no main characters, no villains, no trance, no anything.

It genuinely feels like Yoshi P hates Final Fantasy IX. In the most recent patch, we had two names that were code for Beatrix (without calling her Beatrix, WHY) and 7.0 brought on a low-budget Steiner. There was no Dagger, no Eiko, no Brahne, no Zidane, no Kuja, no Garland, no anything. There was Ozma many years ago, I'll concede to that, but it was a throw-in boss unrelated to this expansion. This expansion's boss seems to be some dorky little kid who wants SCIENCE.

Maybe it's just the fact that I was SOOOO looking forward to one of my top favorite Final Fantasy games out there and it feels like the whole thing has fallen flat.

And yes people are going to try to argue "BuT iT's aN MmO tHe GaMe iS diFfeReNt" to which I say, hogwash. We literally used the Knights of the Round, Kefka, Exdeath, Zeromus, Prishe/Dark Lord, Chaos, and countless other bosses in this game, completely identical, and thrown in with tons of different ways to still make it Final Fantasy Disneyland and fully coherent with the plotlines.

I just don't understand why they're not showing the same love they've shown all the other games.

Where's the Final Fantasy 9 lore?

Please discuss.
I have never played Final Fantasy 9 but i have heard plenty of compliments towards it. That being said i don't thing you would want to compared ffIX to DT. This has not been a very good expansion so far. I do expect a yoshida apology at the end of all this.

As for Mr. science, i'll be frank i don't have a high opinion of him. One he is endless which means his terminal is either in everkeep or the ninth. Two the entirety of alaexandria is based on electrope and there is only so much electrope on etheris. Whatever you brought with you is it no more. Three As the WOL i can take this device anywhere outside the dome and it will be eternally out of his reach. It really is poor writing and sadly like golbez, if you only have one shard of zodiark, you can't break the barrier between worlds, even with a dragon. Zodiark couldn't escape the moon even with Seven shards.
