FF:IX

[strongbad]

I recently read that there is a mode in FF:IX that lets you assign different characters to different controllers. I think this would be pretty fucking fun to do with a friend. Has anybody tried this? Any opinions on FF:IX as a whole?

I think ima buy it depending on the advice from you guys

Also are there any other RPGs out there that you guys are aware of that offer similar modes of play (assigning different controllers to different characters that is)

i disagree, i think it'd be fun
EDIT:

Also, what about Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World? Do you guys know if it has that mode too? Is it good?

FFIX is great. I pirated it on my PSP a year or two ago and then bought a physical copy last year.

I looooooooooove me some FFIX.

symphonia 2 is pretty much ass

typically only two party members, helped along by two monsters, and the monster system pretty much sucks

i know you have a 360, go with tales of vesperia if you're going to play a tales game. and yes, they are entirely multiplayer if you want them to be.

japan-only.

earthbound also has that feature if I'm not mistaken.

I think I've heard about that feature. Not sure if it's a legit thing though, never tried it.

Final Fantasy IX is my favorite Final Fantasy and it's the only one I really could stand playing for a long period of time.

lol, no

the "multiplayer" in earthbound amounts to the fact that the game accepts inputs from both controller ports, meaning second player can do everything the first player can

which basically means if you're going to play it with a friend, you'd better decide who does what beforehand, because otherwise you'll interfere with each other
