A very game when you think about it.Why are so many characters some kind of weird critter or pseudo-critter?
>>743340779to have party/race diversityI think 9 is the perfect example of an rpg where only having Zidane/Garnet/Vivi/Steiner would've been the perfect playable cast
a very game indeed
mostly japanese media coding. so its like a fairy tale so they are all kind of like primordial spirits, a heroic monkey and a dragonesque dragoon and a frog kind of allude to basic spirits and local dieties in swampy grassland japan
To be more like the NES/SNES entries. 6 in particular.
>>743340938The main four (especially Steiner) had absolutely amazing chemistryFreya is cool, though I'm not as crazy about her as othersEiko's alright, but she reminded me of a worse YuffieQuina was maybe funny for like two scenes and thats itAnd FUCK Amarant So yeah, I see your point.

>>743344558freya does hold the distinction of being an actual functional dragoon that can use jump, and the only one in the PSX trilogy

I think it adds to the charm of the game. Some people like to say it's so they didn't have to add black people to the game or some dumb shit like that, but really it stands out into making the world more fantastical than a regular world, and considering that 7 and 8 have pretty limited fantasy races (7 having the Cosmo Canyon Lion-Dogs and the centren and 8 having the sentient rabbit cat people and whatever the guy at Balamb Garden) it makes 9's world stand out.
>>743340938Vivi is la creatura / mascot symbol too. The Black Mages in FFIX isn't real human like the titles prior. Vivi in particular is even smoler than the regular Black Games and they're all nothing against the boss mages.
>>743344558>Freya is cool, though I'm not as crazy about her as othersMain issue with her is that she loses all plot relevance by the halfway point.
