I voted FFIX and my reasons are on a few of the IX threads. Despite me loving a few things from the game (see name), it just seemed shoddy and rushed compared to VII.
Plus it seems like all of the IX fans have been coming out of the woodwork in the past few years. (Maybe it's just me.) But whenever I go on /v/ or another forum and talk about VII or VIII, I get a dozen "Ew, that game sucks! Play IX instead!" comments. And people gripe about VII's fans. :/
I agree. Even though I do believe IX is the best (even after seeing the other games), people like the ones you described are no better than those who played no other games except their favorite (namely VII). I can't believe there's actually behavior like that in the IX fanbase. I'm a bit disappointed in them. :/
Most of the fanbase in FFVII has an obsession about it(which left me on a bad impression for a long time), but unless the people who crticize that fact have played the rest of the FF games, they really have no right to put down what they think is the worst game. They can give an opinion, but putting down a game just because someone hasn't even seen it is pretty ignorant to me.
I know it's off-topic, but I had to say it.
