Love it or Hate it? - Page 7

I thought the styling of the characters was great it fitted with the whole feel of the game and allowed it to flick between the light and dark moments more easily without losing anything in the story. The trance system was a bit gash but everything else in the game (even the graphic to be fair were pushing the ps1 to its limit!)
My favourite game so far it had everything for me so many different things to do outside of the main story.... it may bit easier than the other games but theres nothing wrong with having a game you don't have to tear your hair out over every once in a while!!!!!

I LOVE it. Really, you have no idea how happy I was when I saw FF had a medieval setting again, and had Black Mages

FF9 is my all time favorite game hands down

FFIX was great, but next to FFVII and FFVIII, I felt it lacked something. I think that the battle system might have been a little too simple.

Otherwise, it did have some great moments, and it is a great game, it's just not as good as some of it's big brothers :p

alright i know alot of people are gonna get mad at me for saying this but i think FF 7 is kinda overrated. its like yeah we've seen it a million times now settle down not a big deal.

Lol, don't worry about saying that!

FFIX is pretty awesome - it's cute, has very interesting and addictive sidequests, plus a rather good cast of characters that don't seem to get on my nerves at all!

Argh I voted Like It a while back but now I love it damn!!!

It's been a real grower on me this one. I was indifferent to it the first time I saw it, but playing through the story endeared me to it, and the cute characters too. It's one of my favourite love stories, and the comedy parts were just spot-on.

I have a couple of niggles with the battle system, but it still doesn't do much to tarnish this game, really enjoyable

Hmm...since it's the whole reason I got into Final Fantasy, and RPGs to begin with, I'd have to say I love it.

I guess I'd say "I love it"...The most character development of the PSX-gen FFs, easy (no big contest there though, really). The ability & battle systems weren't anything flashy, but I don't think either really needs to be. The story itself was kind of meh and the main character was a complete blank slate until the final 15 minutes of the game...otherwise he was just a Locke wannabe.

But I never really felt like it was about Zidane (again, until the final 15)...Vivi is the one character that, to me, stands out above the rest. Whether it was the confrontation w/the final Waltz aboard the airship where he finally just looses all of his anger or the off-the-wall wakky scene where he marries Quina! He was easily the best thing FFIX contributed to the series as a whole.

The main thing I HATED about FFIX, though, was the GD aesthetics!! It may be because it's been a while, but I don't recall many, or any, songs that stood out...aside from that, which is fairly forgivable...there's teh damnedable use of the chibi, big-head-mode, sprite-tribute 3D models...I mean, I for one have always been a big fan of Yoshitaka Amano and here, we finally get a cast of characters all designed by him again after Nomura did VII & VIII...and they absolutely BUTCHER them all into cutesy little freaks!!! After they managed to make good interpretations of Nomura's stuff for VIII, I must say, I was more than a bit disappointed.
