Ok, so instead of having an unstructured debate between newbies about Coke commercials, lets get the facts together:
FFIX doesnt have:
A whiney emo tit of a main character who has 0 personailty
A woman who has more breasts than use
An increadibly annoying storyline which I find causes replayability to be hindered by. (Due to having to sit through the whole 'Clouds lifestream past' bit)
Materia
FFIX has:
Decent sidequests
Ozma
Quina
A better storyline
Epicness.
Albiet, the trance system and cardgame lets IX down a little, but it is still one of the best Final Fantasys. FFVII fanboys: stfu
& AngryWolf: I know your name gives it away, but chill out. d1028 may have different opinions (and the right opinion

) but that doesn't mean that the thread has to be closed.
