The PS Final Fantasy games all had bad framerates in battle, but this one made a lot of battle animations needlessly slow. FFVII's battle speed is one of the very few reasons I have left to describe why I prefer it to FFIX.

    The only other minorly disappointing thing is that this game overall played it very safe. There's nothing as risk-taking as the Junction system and the setting and art design just isn't as fresh as FFVII was.
    I can agree about the Battle speed.

    The not taking risks thing is something that personally didn't bother me though - IX was what I'd been dreaming of since VII was released. A typical FF set in a traditional FF world with a traditional art style but combined it with the visuals and FMVs and other things VII and VIII had introduced us too - it ticked all those boxes and really played on my nostalgia. It wasn't as dramatic as VI, as ambitious as VII nor was it as daring as VIII - but for me it made up with it in tradition, charm and humor by the bucket. Though I can see why that would've been disappointing when it came on the tail of 3 very different, but very progressive, instalments in the franchise.
