You know, in hindsight, after I popped IX back in for a little more fun time, I need to re-arrange my list. I actually think IX is my least favorite entry, just because it combines the two weaknesses I have with IV and VII: an unsatisfying story combined with a tedious grind that makes playing it for long bouts of time exhausting. Like I tried to play a little more and realized how much I still had left to do in the post game and I'm already debating about slapping IV in to give it another shot instead cause I keep playing IX to only realize I have better things to do with my time.
