Something's wrong when technology improves, and the games that comes with it, gets worse.

I played FFIX as a "warm up" before I played FFXII..now I've just had the first fight with Cid, and I havent bothered to play in 2 days.

That was never the case with FFIX. It was fun ALL the time, and the music...nobou at his best.
Not one bad tune in the entire game. Everything was excelent
