Damn trance, blemishing a perfectly awesome game! Well...other than trance, it was really great game.

^^ Pretty much sums it up for me too.

It was my first FF ever. I loved it and it took me so many "do-overs" to finally beat it a couple years ago. It is probably my favorite, even though it's not the best. If that makes any sense.

I hate it, the characters, the storyline and the Villain, I didn't like Kuja he wasn't much of a villain I think they were trying to make another Sephiroth but it seems it didn't work out with them, also having 2 summoners in the game is stupid because the other summoner was completely useless.

I really do love it.Zidane made me love it with his flirtly personality.There were some very funny parts between him and Garnet.The story was nice too,but cannot call it a masterpiece.Just wish it lasted longer.

Although I got bored halfway through disk 2, I have really enjoyed this game so far! The story is great, and the characters - especially Zidane - are entertaining at times, touching at others. They truly feel realistic. The overall feel of the game is closer to fantasy than VII and VIII, although possibly less so than X too, which means it fits nicely into the series.

There are many good things to say about it, tbh, and I fear my thoughts will all get muddled since many ideas are coming to me at once! So I'll list the pros and cons.

+ Story - As with all the FFs, the story is incredible (it's the main reason I love the series).
+ Characters
+ Music - I said more about this in another thread... In summary, it fits each character, scene and area perfectly, making you feel more involved, and making everything feel more realistic.
+ Gameplay - Back to 4 on a team, in traditional FF style!
+ World - Simply beautiful, and well thought out. It's vast, and has so much variey too.
+ FMVs - They were possibly less impressive than those in VIII, but they were still wonderful! I miss the old days when they had long FMVs. :(
+ Designs - Ok, so the characters look a bit kiddy, but I loved that!

- Some of it is a bit slow paced...

I think ff9 was a good game, it took me a while to get into it though but when i did get into it it had very good game play, lots of good mini games and one of my favourite characters (vivi). But the thing that really turned me off this game was the setting, it lost the futuristic setting of ff7/8 and as these were the games i really grew up playing it to me didn't seem to be a final fantasy.
