yeah i know what you mean, bcuz before trying out IX i played VII and i gave up bcuz i didn't quite like it. But now after all these years im thinking of giving it another shot, just have to clean the dust on the case first tho

FFIX was my game to start on even though it wasn't the first one I completed. I personally agree with those of you who are saying it is a good intro to the series because it does break down a lot of the harder concepts, and the characters are so easy to get to know.

The great part though for us veterans then is that towards the end it gets more challenging with Garlandcreating Kua and Zidane and what Zidane's main purpose was; where Necron came from and what the "Hill of Despair" is, etc. Great game for all levels of play in the FF world.

I Love FFIX.

And Tacos.

I don't completely remember what I put in my last post.

I think a lot of people don't like this game because they started with VII. So they started with a badass main character. Then they played VIII and had another badass main character. Then they went to IX and they had Zidane who was not badass like Cloud and Squall. The story wasn't full of emoness so they immediately think, "It's childish!" I already said in my last post why this game wasn't childish.

Of course many of these people won't play any game before VII so they won't see any similarities to the previous games.

As much as I love VII and VIII, IX was a breath of fresh air and actually felt like a Final Fantasy game after playing the last two.

I started on FFIX. Hated it... Then loved it. I love VIII too. I dislike VII. Maybe just because I gave up on it cuz it was so damn SLOW. IX is probably my favorite. Then XII then VIII.

FF9 at first wasn't so bad...but after I've finish the game up,I hated it.

Hard to explain, but the game itself seems well...to low for me, the FF energy is so slim that everytime I try playing this game, i turn out the machine and go straight to something else ( FFVII ). Honestly, that game didn't have such a bad story line, but the gameplay sorta bored me to a point, that i though that this game really lacked compared to 7. Although, that is only my personally opinion, everyone is different.

I played almost all of the other FFs before IX, and i still think IX is one of the best. I prefer the earlier FFs which is why i loved IX so much. The first thing i thought when i played it was "this is so much better than VII & VIII". Of course my love of IX may be biased as my gf has the same name as the female lead, but that just makes me enjoy the game even more
