 IGN: Final Fantasy IX Review

Final Fantasy IX, however, is a different story, it may have samples that surpass its predecessors but in most cases it sounds like the same system that we heard in part VIII.

 IGN Boards - Final Fantasy IX
For example, imagine Final Fantasy IX getting an official sequel in which the player is presented with some new plot twists that affect the overall story (characters' past, story elements and perspectives) then it seems only natural for that player's perspective to change on the entire story.
While some people may be able to detach themselves completely from a sequel of this type and remember the old game as it was, I can imagine many others not being able to enjoy the original again as they used to because their perspective has been changed by the new information given in the sequel.
I mean, one thing I loved about IX was it had this cool little history going on - you had all those statues and little tidbits of history on the place, it would have made an excellent game in itself it seemed.
