I think the best thing about this game is the mini-game, tbh.
That being said, I do like this game and it's the sole reason that I got so into Final Fantasy in the first place. I can even remember the day I bought it. 
I don't think this game is underrated, but I do think it deserves a little more praise for being the last real Final Fantasy game.

I think this game is under-rated, it really doesn't get the praise it deserves.

Anyone who thinks the characters in VIII were more epic than the ones in IX really needs to replay the games. IX had some amazing characters with great stories - Zidane, Vivi, Freya, Garnet and Beatrix, for example, while FFVIII had 5 people who all grew up in the same orphanage. Lame.
I think FFIX was released at a bad time, it was released when the PS2 was and PS1 games were dying, it's a classic, and really is the last traditional FF, yet it doesn't really have any hardcore fanboys, when you compare that to the fact that FFVII and VIII have loads of screaming Cloud/Sephiroth/Squall fangirls, you kinda wish more people would hype Zidane and Kuja...

FFIX is a great game, definantly close to VI, Tactics and X in my opinion. It's not as praised as VII, but then again... Name one RPG that is.

if you have any love for nostalgic final fantasy or old fashioned stories, then FFIX is perfect for you! Me? I loved it!

I don't think it's underrated, I played the game and I didn't like the storyline nor the characters, and the villain is just bah I thought he was a girl at first, and I don't think it's underrated because many peoples like it but heck I don't know why.

This FF is my second favorite after FF7 and one of my favorite video games of all the times.Don't get why it receives so much hate.Is it because the characters are short and don't remind humans,is it because there's not much blood,is it because it's not dark?I really don't know.I think Zidane was the flavor of the whole game.Up until two games ago we had two quiet characters(Cloud,Squall) and Zidane was very different.There would always be something funny whenever he talked.Whether it was Steiner or Garnet.He was flirty and not like the other characters that's why I loved him.But some don't seem to find him cool because of his tail and maybe because he's hyper.

I'm surprised there's people against this game...
This was what pulled me into the series, and got me embroiled in the world of Final Fantasy.
Plus the music, i thought it was really good... And graphics (For its time)
