Love it or Hate it?

August 23, 2007, 8:16 PM

IX seems to be another FF game that people either love it or hate it like VIII or XII. With IX, most of the people who have played it that I run into either call it one of their favorite FF games or they absolutely despise it.

So did you love, like, or hate this game?

Why do you think many people like or hate it?

I love this game! It seriously feel like a Final Fantasy game, if that makes any sense...

The environment, settings, characters...everything...all memorable. I'd like to play it again soon, actually. I believe a lot of people love this game because of the storyline, to be honest. It's great and pure fun.

Now, as far as why some would hate the game...probably because of the "childish looking characters"...I hear it all the time. =/ I actually like the style of artwork they used for this game.

I just started playing it again, and it's my favourite FF. I think it has lovable characters and a great story. The only thing I don't like about it is that the characters are not customizable.

Love it. My favourite FF, personally. I can see why most people hate it though, since FF fans who were first introduced to the series with the PlayStation and either VII or VIII probably felt different when they saw an environment without uber technology.

Edit: Making the poll in the IX section probably won't give "real" results. I don't see why someone who hates the game would come to this area of the forums anyway.

This is my most favorite FF ever. Everything is perfect to me and the only thing that bothered me as well was the deformed character designs. I used to compare this with the previous two games like why didn't they even made them appear normal in battle fields and/or movies at least. as the people above are saying I think this may be a major reason why people overlook this game too much. but it's pretty understandable since this game is made to bring back the feel of old FFs. it wasn't so bad and it could be accepted since I'm a fan of the old FFs. so how could I hate this game isn't it.

I wasn't all that interested in this one to be honest it was too basic for my liking

I love everything about the game. The characters, the art, the settings, the music and the story were all beautifully done IMO.

Alot of people I've talked to disliked the game or even refused to play it because of the character designs which I just don't get. For example, I hated the character designs in Chrono Trigger from the very beginning but I still played and enjoyed the game.

I like this game. The characters, the artistic design, the plot...they were all awesome. It was like a tribute to the old FFs. And even though Kuja seemed a bit one-dimensional to me, I still loved him as a villain. However, one of the things that really hurt my opinion of IX was trance. Ugh! I hated that! Damn trance, blemishing a perfectly awesome game! Well...other than trance, it was really great game.

Ah I love this game! Beautiful beautiful beautiful! The opening scene with Garnet in the boat during the storm, the introduction to awesome characters each in their own unique way, as well as the deep plot that dangers the multiple worlds and all their inhabitants. And...gotta love KUJA!

Great game and one of my favorites of all-time!

This is kinda one of the ones I really don't care for. Story line itself is good and battle system is good. Character designs could have been better for some coughquinacough, and the ability system I did not really like. Having to equip certin items for so long just irratated me to no end. Though other then that it was a good game.
