FFIX is great fuck the haters, likeable cast, awesome music (FFVIII soundtrack still is better) although the battle theme kinda sucks, a simple system to build up your characters, armors!, character have unique ability not every character is the same except for dagger and eiko but that's because of story purposes unlike FFVII and FFVIII which it really deosn't matter what party you have because you can build everyone almost the same way becuse of materia and junction system.
