These are the things that people hate (As well as hate Squall and Rinoa, and the theme, and the Junctions system, and.......basically everything) And why, you cannot deny that it's opening was fantastic, that the clothes were different, and it was different. That why people hate it, it's becasue it's different.

Now, the reason I hate FF9 is becasue it didn't continue the series, it went backwards. Gone was the middle finger and was replaced with a peace signal. I no it was a lookback, but it stopped the wheels turning of revolution. And thats why I hate it, because I could have bourght it years ago, with less prettier graphics, and it would have still played the same. It wasn't a change, it was the same. And thats why you like it.
The whole reason FF9 is better then FF8 is because characters can't do the same thing. Getting a new character in FF8 was pointless. They added nothing new because all six characters coudl use magic and Junctions.

In FF9, FF6, FF4, FF10 you get a new character and they do things that are different then someone else in the group.

That's why I dislike FF8. That is why FF9 is a better game. Because there is a reason I'm getting a new character.

FF5 I coudl make characters into what ever I wanted so I have know proble, there. Same with FF2, and FF1.

But FF8 ever one is the same. It's let's share the magic and Junctions.
