When I fought this guy, his final form reduced me to everyone being dead and Vivi being left with 128 HP. I got so pissed that I was going to lose after a long battle that I just hit him with a melee attack. Vivi did like 114 damage and it was enough to kill him. I've never been more relieved in a video game.

Final Fantasy IX: The game where you throw auto regen on all your characters and heal by casting long animation spells/abilities.

Eiko: WEST SIDE!!

Tupac the summoner

"The game is over, finally" Necron: hold my crystal

You named Eiko Tupac?

I love how Necron dismisses you and just explodes himself back to wherever he comes from. You don't kill him, he gets tired of you.

People: omg Sephiroth can destroy the planets with a meteor! Necron: Can reduce existence to a state of nothingness.

6:53 *Miss!?* We SAW you get punched up into the air, Kuja! You blasted off like Team Rocket! If you blocked it or something, fine, but don't throw that "Miss" crap at us.

Finally, the game's over Necron: I'm about to end this man's whole career.

"This is not the end." I agree. FFIX sequel, please.

After like 5 failed attempts I managed to beat Necron... With Steiner... At 1HP. Steiner solo'd him for the remainder of the battle at 1HP. I yelled. Auto-Life was a godsend. What a way to end a first playthrough!

*Trance Kuja battle* - _"alright Kuja, let's finish this!"_ *Necron battle* - _"bro who the fuck are you?"_

This game is a masterpiece.

You named Stenair "Stinker"? That's actually very funny.

Grand cross can't be healthy for the planet....

I laughed so hard when Eiko tried to cast Esuna on Freya and it got reflected XD

I got terrified by "decisive battle" theme during my first battle with Necron

Necron really be like "bitch you thought we'd end it with a non god fight"

I love this game, but i hate how easy are the bosses when you get auto-life, regen and haste.

lol why no one uses vivi? he made the final boss a piece of cake. flare and doomsday all day

Ark expected function: deal tons of non elemental damage because its the strongest eidolong thats fucking why True function: heal the whole fucking party out of regen because of the 1 hour long animation

Like an RKO, Necron came out of nowhere!

I love the distorted theme music

I tried this at level 54, I had no idea how RPGS worked, I fought him loads but in the end I just have up..80+hours... furthest I'd ever been in an FF game

Better than FFX

Behold I'm the Final Boss! Entire Party: Who? Boss: EXACTLY

Auto reflect on whole team, and casting spell on your whole team, reflecting it 4 times, increases spell damage a lot and is funny too.

I still don't see why no one understood this fight- he didn't come out of "no where", he's the embodiment of death that came when Kuja destroyed the life crystal. Duh, Jennifers

LOL you called Steiner Stinker!!!! XD

Zidane: So, this is your true form, huh Kuja! Necron: No, I am a completely different final boss. Zidane: Oh... well you must've been pulling the strings behind the scene then! Necron: Nope, that was all Kuja. Zidane: I see... Then you must've been biding your time for a chance to take over or destroy the world! Necron: Not at all. I have zero impact or involvement in the story. I'm just here to be a final boss. In fact a being known as Hades was supposed to take over the plotline here and had a much bigger involvement in the story involving the Crystals compared to me. Zidane: ...We could replace you with a walnut and it'd be just as much relevant to the story as you, couldn't we? Necron: I know....

Tupac. You're quite the badass there.

Oh my god what do you do with the names?

as theatrical as Kuja is, you'd expect him to fight Necron for his spotlight, saying something like "The stage is mine" or "Extras should know their place". He was a freaking trance god for crying out loud.

This summer, Eiko Carol IS.......Tupac Shakur.

Absolutely love these absurdly over the top attacks with the RIDICULOUS sound design. That Grand Cross attack so fucking hilariously excessive. Utterly tremendous. Lmao

Thank god grand cross is not as long as supernova

Everything in this game is too good, even the music

It's interesting, that Necron, the death it self, uses a Life spell, Curaga to heal...

"wait, who are you again? Are you sure you didn't accidentally teleport in from another Final Fantasy game? Because we've all been there, man."

killer music ... necron theme..

Neuron came out of nowhere with no story explained. he didn't need to exist

I see that Necron kinda looks like hermofrodite humanoid. Is it apotheosis?

This modafucka said stinker and tupac that shit hadme dyinggg

King Zidane, ahh that's epic haha. Thanks for all the tips! They were greatly appreciated.

Came here from joshscorcher’s “Top Ten Overshadowed Bosses” list. It’s not a terrible boss by any stretch… but it comes flat out of nowhere. If you ask me, it would’ve been simple to make Necron fit. Rather than a previously unmentioned god, it could’ve been an embodiment of Kuja’s strong emotions, now too intense for his genome body to contain. Rename him “Nihilism”, and change his dialogue to sentence fragments reflecting that emotion… and have him explode upon defeat. Everything else can remain the same.

That's clever for Zidane's name. Monkey D Luffy. Haha I get it, cuz he has a tail... Nice.

I agree, although I gotta say... FF10 had some revolutionary tracks.

if they swapped necron's fight in place with trance Kuja Himself and had Him be the final boss with Dark Messenger as the last battle, it would be a better ending than anything.

0:58 terrifying

ja rule's not tupac. You got that?

Only final boss that doesn't actually die?

Dragon's crest. Yes, hit a demon with satan, exorcist.

i truly don't remember fighting that deathguise thing. i do remember every other miniscule details of ffix but not the skeletal flying monster before kuja... guess it never was a beep on my radar back then, i remember though that the last two bosses were piece of cake and left me saying "uh...i guess that's that? cool game and story but weak end bosses = _= " even with that in mind i still put this on the first place for favorite final fantasy game. second VII, third VI/III and fourth VIII.

Trance Kuja is SSJ4 Goku CONFIRMED.

Grand Cross is a bootleg Supernova.

Eiko as Tupac ajaassffaaaaaaargh

Love this game ever

Yeah. Like the game says, the Black mages all have a short life span. They don't know what death is, they just know sooner or later the mist in their body's will run out given enough time. And yes Beatrix has to obey Zidane now too :D Zidane must have had all kinds of things for Steiner and Beatrix to do, wish they showed a few of them :(

This is what happens when i take a shiit in the toilet :) 10:33

My name is Rachel hahhaa nice name on Zidane hahaha

What you don't use Vivi? He has op spells like flare and doomsday

Trance Kuja reminded me of SS4 a bit

I like how this song has a mix of Jenovas theme from FF7 and the beginning song from FF7 game when they get off on the train.

Have they ever found One Piece yet?

You did it, you beat the game! Like i told ya the only boss you didn't fight was Quina's master, but that fight is meh anyway. So how was the game? Did you like it or was it just okay? Well this FF game is in my top 3 with 7 and 10. They went back to their roots with this game. Such a great story. Zidane is such a nice guy, he went back for Kuja. Also when you are reading the end game's writing that is Vivi talking before he died. Zidane never got the chance to say goodby to his friend in time.

Tupac, Eiko, nice 👁👁👌

But at least Vivi got to be a father in the end. The mini Vivi's lol. And Zidane got the girl in the end. He came back to be with Garnet. You know what that means? He is Steiner's boss because he is the king now mwuahahahaha. The game doesn't state where he left Kuja btw or if he died. I assume he left Kuja in a safe place to heal before passed away. And now Zidane can go be with his wife o.O Bet Garnet learned to not be so gullible after all the things she learned.

I wish we vivi could use Flare Star, its one of the coolest looking moves in FFIX imo. Its the only reason i like battle kuja, especially when he uses flare star at the music part of 5:33-5:55.

more like the title should be final battle trance kuja and necron since they are the final battles unlike deathguise which u can kill and save.

So the final boss in FF9 is a giant face hugger. Imagine that.

Blue shockwave should kill instead of bringing to 1 hp.

This was a fun game, but the key villains and final boss lacked imagination.

Yeah I'll have to approach frog catching more attentive next game. That's the only ultimate weapon I never got. I loved this game, in the PS1 era it's the number one game for me after FF7 and FF8. Overall, this was one great FF. Like you said it was nostalgic and one thing I loved..... IT WAS BALANCED lol. No broken Materia setups or Triple Triad Card Modding cheapness to make this game any easier. Figured Kuja couldn't survive after all that. That was Vivi? :( He does grow on you!

I can't believe Tupac helped kill death.

So this is Tupac aftrerlife, reincarnated became A loli Neko summoner

zidane,eiko,steiner:suicide→blue shockwave→jump→blue shockwave×3→jump→blue shockwave×3→...

i never completed this game lol

Just finished FF9 for the first time recently. I thought the game was pretty good, but I hold 7 and 8 way higher. I wasn't really impressed by the music in 9, especially compared to previous games. And I thought the ending, Necron specifically, was lackluster. Nowhere in the game was he mentioned, he just came out of nowhere. I figured the last boss would be Kuja or Garland. Nope, just some random guy out of nowhere. After the FF7 remake, the next should be FF8. Even with the mixed feeling towards it, it has amazing potential in a remake. Then 6 and finally 9, if it ever gets to that point. 7 and 8 are games I will always remember, nothing stood out for me in 9.

how you get Ragnarok Sword?

I don't think the boss Necron was necessary at all.

Zidane=Luffy?

That is not dead which may eternal lie. For with strange aeons even death may die.

TUPAC AND STINKER LMFAO

It's weird to see Thundaga not drop the framerate after playing this on a PS1.

Yeah wasn't thinking, thanks for that.

the edited names have me breathless lmao why man??

Stinker the knight 😂

On the other hand, THANKS FOR POSTING A VID OF MY ALL TIME FAV PS1 GAME!!!! XDDD

you hit so low man, my zidane autoattacks 9999

You're welcome! It's one of my favs too.

Yeah it's an apparent glitch in the game, sucks too because along with Climhazzard and Shock, it's a cool attack.

Game should have ended at the Kuja battle

You know you can hold r1 and r2 in to switch 10 items at a time in the menu.

necron is a very random character to me. pops out of no where

literally out of nowhere.

Only Rangarok on Steiner? What are you, casual? xD

Oh yes, is Thunder Blade (or whatever its called) worth having on Steiner? I noticed its hit rate is very poor.

Tiger raket Elko, you know?

I remember the first time I saw Necron boss fight. I was all like "WTF? Where this guy came from?". Because, really, this final boss is never mentioned in the course of game. I can't imagine another FF big bad worse than this one.
