Final Fantasy IX or Final Fantasy X?

[Elly]

X was better as it didn't limit you by forcing you to use only some of the skills you've learned like IX did, in X once you learned your skills they were yours to use whenever you wanted with no need to swap them around, but in IX you could only use as many skills as you could equip based on how many Magic Stones your chars had forcing you to constantly change your skills and abilities out every time you came to a new area, in my opinion very lame and hella constricting... and of course there's the nice added effect of being able to swap characters out during battle in X which was a very nice addition and helpfull at many points during battles, i can overlook a little bad acting (laughing scene, i'm looking at you) given the large ammount of freedom you have with skills and abilities in X...
