underappreciated.

Just finished the game, can't say whether I was either content or disappointed about it.
-Extremely straight-forward game.
-Story is well designed, kept me thinking, although I'm still fuzzy on some parts in the story.
-Since I finished FF8 and played FF9 right after (I'm playing through all the FFGames all over again), I would be expected to bag on the graphics, but I actually appreciated the style that was used.
-Extremely disappointed with the Trance system, really wish it charged faster (I have used the first 3 Dyne attacks, then I zoomed right to Solution 9 Dyne attack , I haven't even tried the others before Solution 9), or have the activated trance carry on to the next fight.
-Game Mechanics is old-school, easy, and simple.
-The skills was interesting, took some time to get the skills maxed, but it's bearable.
-Tetra Master couldn't have been easier to play, compared to Triple Triad in FF8
-Side Quests - What side-quests??? Ozma is easy, and... well thats all I know that wasn't tedious like Jump Rope/Hippaul.
Overall FF9 is entertaining and simple to play

Edit: The ending is spectacular, quite possibly my most favorite ending in Final Fantasy.

I agree, final fantasy 9 is my most favorite final fantasy and i also thought that 8 and 7 were bad, i did not like those two.
