Thank god i found this thread. Please, please do buy this game. I cannot recommend it enough. Here's my story;
I got FF7 many christmas's ago, thinking it'd be rubbish, i threw it to the side. Later, i started playing it. I was hooked. I ended up buying FF8 and it wasn't all that great imo, but something made me carry on playing the FF series. I bought 9. Greatest decision of my life. FF9 has some of the best characters ever made in the FF series. FF9 will make you feel emotions you never thought you had. The plot is unbelievable. It's fantastic. It's set in the old days, castles n the-like, making up a great atmosphere. I ended up selling my game. Many tears later, i decided i wanted it again. I ended up getting it on Ebay, still brand new and sealed for the PS1.

I'm 2 hours through it now and plan to play it some more tomorrow. Overall, it's probably the 2nd best FF in the series, (first being FF7). It has a beautiful storyline and you really will love it. The ending is the best ending in an FF. But don't get over-excited just yet, just play it through n come back and see what you think of it
