Square Co., Ltd.'s Final Fantasy IX was the last Final Fantasy game released for the Sony PlayStation. Filling four CD-ROMs, Final Fantasy IX featured a cast containing a variety of major and minor characters.

Main playable characters

Zidane Tribal

Zidane Tribal (Jitan or Zitan in the Japanese language version; ジタン・トライバル Jitan Toraibaru) began life as one of Garland's "Angels of Death." The Angels of Death were Genomes, biological hosts for the souls of the doomed world of Terra. Unlike other Genomes, however, which were little more than soulless vessels, the Angels of Death were granted a soul as part of Garland's plans to initiate a worldwide catastrophe on the planet Gaia that would make way for the recolonization of the planet by refugees from Terra. Garland, anticipating that the presence of a soul would cause the otherwise immortal Genome body to wither and die, created Zidane as a replacement for the first Angel of Death, Kuja. Resentful that Garland has already made plans to replace him, Kuja kidnaps Zidane and hides him on Gaia. His earliest memories of Gaia being that on the docks of Lindblum, Zidane started off clueless of his heritage. His desire to learn more about his origins leads him to join Tantalus, a group of thieves from the city of Lindblum in order to explore the world and discover his birthplace.

Playful and flirtatious, Zidane displays little of the sullenness associated with previous series protagonists. At times, Zidane casts himself into the role of a romantic hero, but he only considers himself to be acting a part. In truth, Zidane suffers from extreme loneliness and desires a true family. Visually, Zidane's most striking characteristic is his long tail, and trait which he shares with his fellow Angel of Death, Kuja. In battle, Zidane specializes in skills traditionally associated with the Thief character class.

Vivi Ornitier

On the planet Gaia, most Black Mages are little more than mindless automatons, employed as footsoldiers by Queen Brahne of Alexandria in her attempt to secure all of the world's summoning magic. Vivi Ornitier (ビビ・オルニティア Bibi Orunitia), however, possesses power and intelligence that belies his seemingly youthful physical age and sets him apart from others of his kind. Unaware of any other black mages and believing himself to be unique, Vivi becomes embroiled in Tantalus's plan to kidnap Princess Garnet when he travels to Alexandria to attend a performance of the play I Want to be Your Canary. He continues to travel with Zidane and company, partly out of his friendship with others, particularly Captain Steiner, and partly out of a desire to find out if his life has any purpose beyond that of a simple mechanical soldier.

Arguably the most distinctive member of the game's cast, Vivi remains the most popular character from Final Fantasy IX. The upcoming Square Enix game Kingdom Hearts II will feature Vivi (as redesigned by director Tetsuya Nomura) as a member of the Twilight Town Disciplinary Committee, led by Final Fantasy VIIIs Seifer Almasy
. Vivi idolizes Seifer and struggles to mimic his strength.
Princess Garnet Til Alexandros XVII (17th)
Princess Garnet Til Alexandros 17th (ガーネット・ティル・アレクサンドロス17世 Gānetto tiru Arekusandorosu Jūnanayo), the only heir to the throne of Alexandria, spent the first six years of her life as Sarah, a child of the lost summoner village of Madain Sari. When Garland attacked and destroyed the village and most of its inhabitants, Sarah and her mother fled across the sea in a small fishing boat. Though her mother dies during the crossing, Sarah survives and eventually drifts into Alexandria's harbor. The ruling monarchs of Alexandria are startled by Sarah's resemblance to their only daughter, whom they had just lost to an undisclosed illness, and adopt the child and raise her as their own. Years later, shocked by the increasingly erratic and cruel behavior of her adoptive mother, Queen Brahne, Garnet endeavours to run away from Alexandria Castle to seek aid from the neighbouring kingdom of Lindblum. When confronted by Tantalus's kidnapping attempt, she freely agrees to travel with the troupe, who were hired by Lindblum's regent, Cid Fabool, to escort the princess safely into Lindblum. Trying to keep a low profile among commoners, Garnet assumes the alias Dagger (ダガー Dagā), a name she continue to employ for the majority of the game.
