How have your opinions changed over the years?

The major one is that FF9 has been considerably lowered in my estimation. The battle system was always slow and clunky, which bothers me now more than it used to. But the bigger thing is the pacing, at so many times it just felt like the game gets completely bogged down.

This for me, but particularly in contrast to my opinion of VIII. I played them both at roughly the same time, and after a couple of plays of each, I thought it was basically a coin flip as to which was better. But now, many years later, VIII is solidly a better game in so many ways.
