Truly the worst part about IX is Necron. He just comes out of nowhere. What was he and what was his point. I dunno maybe i just didnt pay enough attention to what he was saying, but it was long ago when i beat it.

[Admiral Fouldog]

Necron was basically saying that life is an endless cycle, but in the end, all will perish...or something like that. He was saying that it's useless to live because eventually everyone dies.
Off Topic Note:Did anyone else think that Necron looks almost exactly like Eden from FFVIII?(except for a few noticable differences)

How can they be exactly alike, with a few noticeable differences?

[Ido_Alpha_Omega]

isn't Necron that giant spinning crystal at the end? 'cause that looks nothing like Eden

[Fanatik]

Another thing im asking is what is he and where did he come from, he didnt seem to be near as good an end boss as say, Sephiroth. Its the same way with Ultimecia. Came out of nowhere. Its like Square said, wait! we have no villan left for the final fight, and they figured, make a new one up! Dont get me wrong about VIII though, that was a great game.

[Ido_Alpha_Omega]

I've been saying that for a while... VIII and IX had the same problem... the last boss came out of nowhere... you really didn't have enough time to learn about them and hate them.

It's not about how tough someone is, but how badly you want to defeat them!

I hate last bosses that doesn't really relate to the story, but instead just pop out of nowhere. It's better if you have face them a couple of times, and then finally get to smack 'em in a final battle. Necron was bad, so was Yu Yevon.

But...Necron has that cool battle theme...you have to admit.

Exactly, see that was one big flaw to an otherwise great game (VIII) and just yet another mistake for a good game that is only alright for an FF (IX)

I thought it was a nice way to wrap it all up. Almost like he is the mastermind behind the events throughout the game.

I thought it was the exactly right thing to do for him. Zidane and Kuja have no clue about anything. And everyone is so sure that Kuja is the one trying to end the world. And he is the end all be all of the game. But in all actuality you find out that Kuja ended his life for no reason at all. And at that moment you finally realize what was controlling everything, and what the problem was the entire time.

I thought it was the right way to go. And this was the same thing with ultimecia. I liked the way they did this, dunno if you guys did, but I like how the put little hints in the game in different places. Then at the end you are dumfounded as to who the fuck these people really are lol.

nice.

i guess thats a way to put it, but in the end Kuja didnt really die, the bastard.

As much as i didnt like Necron, or most of IX, i swear the ending was one of the greatest FF endings i have ever seen. VIII's was just damn confusing.

[Admiral Fouldog]

Umm, what are you talking about? Kuja was killed by the Lifa Tree, after Zidane tried to save him.
And yes, FFIX had an amazing ending!

[Fanatik]

Oh yea he did die, sorry, last time i played and beat IX was like 2 1/2 years ago.
