Yeah, I don't want to derail the thread so I'm not going to link everything he's ever said but for starters MILF has a very in-depth (and imo fair) post about why he dislikes FF IX right here.

As for Resi 4, yeah I'm not seeing the hate. It's been ages since I've played it (and this thread reminds me that I need to play it again) but I recall it being great fun.
