9 is about my third favorite FF game following 6 and 4. Its a great game and I love all the references to the older games and which is why I think all the people who started with 7 hates it is because they never played the old games so most of the references went their heads and kinda served as an annoyance to them.
Did you love FF9?

IX is always either my third or fourth favourite Final Fantasy game at any given time, depending on how tolerant I am of FFX's voice acting at the time.
VI and Tactics are way better, but IX has easily one of the best casts and is pretty fun over-all. And has few sections I hate.

FF9 is my favorite in the FF series (so far). In fact it's the only one I actually played all the way through more than once without getting board and quitting halfway.
I thought 9 was really good. I just thought that it had a more childish appeal than the others. I know, "childish" isn't the right word. It just had a more completely black and white outlook.
Oh, and I hated when
I sort of prefer 7, but that's just cause I like Cloud and Sephiroth and the cyber-punk setting.

Dagger loses her voice. It's just such an annoying plot device that happens just to create cheap romantic tension between her and Zidane.

4 and 9 are my two favorite ff games. 9 had a brilliant art style that perfectly encapsulates what ff is all about for me. I loved it until the last act, where it kinda fell apart for me. I could also never beat the final boss... that bastard is tough.
Nine and Ten are the only Final Fantasies that I really enjoy, I'd say nine is my absolute favorite.
I haven't tried it. Kinda on the fence about getting it since I've heard mixed things about it. I loved VII and X, but didn't care much at all for VIII. XII and I (so far, not done yet) are ok.
Absolute favorite in the series thanks to it's great world, awesome characters, epic soundtrack, but most of all its heavy overtones of existentialism.
It calls up a lot of 'reason we exist', 'reason we fight', 'does our origin really make us who we are?', 'Can a weapon be anything but a tool or is there more to a person?'.
I hate people outright denouncing it as childish without understanding the depth of its themes, but I completely understand that "Best FF" is subjective and a lot of the others (4,6,7,8,Tactics,10(Not to ignore the rest of them)) were all great games as well.

Vivi, Zidane, and Kuja were all outright fabricated beings.
Vivi fights with himself, trying to convince himself he has any self when someone else made him as a tool.
Kuja's enraged by his Raison D'etre being compromised on a whim of his creator, his brother surpassing everything he is, his life that of a mere test.
Zidane is overwhelmed with guilt, taking blame for everything that has happened. Kuja's swath of destruction was all aimed at him and everyone else suffered for it, his entire purpose for existing was to destroy those he came to care for.
Beatrix fights as a tool for fealty even when she doubts so strongly what that is ultimately for. Should she keep her obligations or fight for what she thinks is right?
There's more to say for all of those characters and more but I'd be here all night. Suffice to say these are themes that appeal to me.

I've played through it for the first time a few months back after beating FF7. I have to say, the game has made it into my top ten most favorite games of all time. Very few games have managed to accomplish that.
Really? I thought that happened because ofFidelias said:
the combination of losing her mother, her kingdom getting destroyed before her eyes, and the fact that she blames herself for all that despite the fact she couldn't do anything to prevent any of that from happening.
I'm not a fan boy or anything, I just think you may have missed the point of that particular part of the game.
It's the only game I played where a dragon fought a castle and the castle won by way of AWESOME FIREWORKS!!!!
No, I understood all of that, and just realize it's my opinion. But I believe it would've been loads better for her character to have actually overcome that instead ofscorptatious said:
going mute. I'm not an expert but from what I've been lead to believe just going mute because of mental trauma isn't very probable. It's one thing to not WANT to speak, but since the game gives indications of her trying, this isn't the case. Then again, this is just my opinion. Like I said, I still liked FF9 a lot.
I think Final Fantasy 9 is my second favorite Final Fantasy game. I like it because it goes back the the more steampunk vs. magic setting of older games rather than a more Sci-Fi story like FF7. The Music is just great, the fact that the battle theme sounds like a remix of the original is a neat little addition. Also Zidane is my favorite FF character, mostly because he's more in it for fun and adventure rather than moping about like other characters in the series. However it loses points for Quina, Armarant's Dread-fro, and Kuja. As much as I like FF9, 6 just feels like a much more refined game.
Its not my favorite Final Fantasy, but I do enjoy it... I certainly like it a lot more then 8 or 10. It has some of the best art directing of any Final Fantasy since Amono left as lead artist.
