But I wouldn't be one of them.

I agree with him 100%

FFIX was the last FF game I enjoyed.

I know, I know. So many people complain that it was hard to take seriously because of the chibi design, as well as because of Kuja's appearance, however...I personally rank FFIX right next to FFVII on a scale of seriousness. XD

FFIX revolved around love, war, and friendship. It wasn't a cheesy game at all. Every game has it's ups and downs, but this one was almost perfect.

The only aspect that might not be considered likeable is the battle/ability system.

FFIX is hands down one of the best FF games made. That's it.

My First FF was one on the nintendo cuz we have like 2 of them laying around and i loved 1. then i played 8 and loved the story on it. i played through 8 and picked up 7 and loved it too. i hadnt played 9 until abput 2 years ago after i had gone through X and X-2(ICK). but when i play 9 i feel it lacks that good Story Hook that all the other games have at the start.

1-Lighting The Orbs
7-Chasing Sepiroth
8-Becoming A seeD
X-Finding Your Way Home
X-2- Even though i dont like it, it had the right idea to focus on finding tidus

Tbh appart from the wierd characters I really enjoyed IX. I loved the weapons, the whole ''Trance'' thing was class. The workshop idea was genious. The graphics wernt bad either and the storyline was amazing.

So I dont know why people hated it. Maybe because some of the characters looked like retards. lol

None of the FFs are as good as they could be.
As far as I know, none of them have ever been 100% completed upon their release. Hence why the later versions which are released in other countries... months after American releases...are packed with extras.

FFIX had poor character development...to a degree. The characters were satisfactory...only a few of them had very good development. Characters like Quina and Amarant kind of bit the dust on that plane.

The game had good sidequests...plenty of moogles and chocobos.

Only thing that left me SOMEWHAT dissapointed was the battle/trance/ability system.

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?

Not just that i know people that wont play kingdom hearts because it has disney characters and scences in it

I think you have looked at these 2 the wrong way.

FFVIII - You become a SeeD right at the beginning.

FFIX - Is really about the war that is going on and going after Kuja. He wasn't even looking for home at the time.

Right. FFIX had one of the best stories.
FFVIII had something going, but the giddy childish romance between Squall and Rinoa ruined what could have been a great plot.

I think it's great. So far(I havn't completed it yet) the storyline is almost as epic as FFVII. A lot of people probably don't like it because it has a medi-evil theme and is not so futeristic(like FFVII and FFVIII).
