I just re-opened this one since I still haven't beat it. FF IX is kinda hilarious and odd and yet lovable. The character design is beyond ridiculous (Hippo-people running through Alexandria?), the serious moments are almost still funny (Okay Garnet cuts her hair and becomes different? Maybe I should try that...) and then I love the FF I references, they really make my day.
Honestly I can't tell if this is one of my favorites or more confusing than X-2, but I love it. Can't wait to play the last disc! (I'm at the end of 3 now)
