It looks like someone over at Square Enix accidentally pushed out an update for the Steam version of Final Fantasy IX. What does this update do? Well, it deletes the game entirely, for anyone that was unfortunate enough to download the latest patch. SteamDB shows that an update for the game went out early on April 2nd that does nothing more than remove every asset and file from the game, rendering it unplayable. Presumably, a fix will be out imminently to undo this, and when that happens, you can expect an update within this news post.

The worst Final Fantasy seriously?? Have you played the god awfulness of 13 and 15?? Or for that matter Final Fantasy Mystic Quest on the SNES

Kingdom Hearts II is the best final fantasy game.

Play VI. That's it. That's the best one. Don't need to keep any other info handy.

VI is the best by a long way then for me it would be IV next.

Kingdom Hearts II is the best final fantasy game.

I, myself, haven't played a Kindom Hearts game either. Yet. I shall also keep this info- fuck it I'm not doing this

Finished the whole XIII trilogy and XV. Played about 10 hours into IX. Enjoyed the others way more. Dunno guess I'm weird or something

Then keep in mind, Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (AKA FF USA) isn't the worst. You can read my review on the game

True.
They decide to make IV II and VI III in North America, and then they decided 'fuck it VII is VII'
