Why do people hate this game? - Page 18

I love IX. It's my favourite FF. Even though I've never beat V, VI, VII and VIII, I know that IX will always be my favourite.

As for why few people liked it... The only Final Fantasy games before IX on the PS were VII and VIII, both very futuristic in nature. It's natural to assume that the fanbase they built among PS owners liked the futuristic environments, so when IX came out, they were very dissappointed. Really, those who don't like IX tend to prefer VII and VIII.

There's no reason to hate this game other than the battle system; the only feature that wasn't totally revamped and exciting.

The storyline was flawless and original.

And if you say you dislike the game based on the chibi graphics...you're just being too shallow.

I do prefer VII over IX, YF...but it's a very close call.
I didn't like FFVIII at all. VII did have it's futuristic qualities, but it was completely original...unique...the storyline is what makes the game so worthwhile...
FFVIII is just far too industrial IMO...

I was talking about those who DON'T like IX, and that they tend to like VII or VIII, I never said they are the only ones. As for the futuristic setting, I'm pretty sure that was introduced before VII, in VI, though it wasjust a bit less futuristical than VII, at least that's what I can tell from my current knowledge of the game (never beat either).

Nono I know what you mean...most of the people who dislike FFIX are really into FFVIII. I know plenty of people prefer VII and IX as their favorite titles because the storylines are really worth playing the game for. ^___^

But FFVIII and IX are so different...
I think FFVIII is different in a bad way though. =\

Well, that's totally opinion based. Besides, it's pretty clear that the games attract different audiences, seeing how different they are.

I am really glad that they introduced a game like FFIX...
I actually started off with FFVII as my first game...then I played VIII, then IX...and so on...

So FFIX was actually the third game that I played, and it was by far one of the best, even after VII and VIII...and still is IMO...I didn't play any of the older FF titles until...quite recently actually...

It seems as if plenty of people favor the game which introduced them to the series...o.0

*pokes Nephany* >.>

All my friends (that hated IX) gave me the same reason: They don't like the kiddy look. The funny part is that I found it to be one of the most serious FF games, people died without mercy. Sometimes they died without even knowing they were about to die.

That reminds me of people who didn't like Zelda: Wind Waker because of the graphics.

People like that make me laugh. How pretentious can you get? Do you just not let yourself have fun? Do you prefer melodrama to a good story and good gameplay?

Oh snap! Some people might seriously disagree with you on that.

But I wouldn't be one of them.
