Since when are opinions considered as fact...

1)ITS TOO EASY
Surely an FF is a quest, an epic that you can explore and get hours and hours out the main quest alone. A quest where you have to train until strong enough to beat the many monsters that stand in your way. Not with FFIX. On my first play though, I beat Necron at level 32 with Zidane. I got to the 3rd disc in 16hrs. What is the point in that? I spent £40 on a game, and a Final Fantasy and I can almost complete in less then a day!
And that's the way you play the game. Others can clock the game in at nearly 40 hours. I've come close to that time myself. Now as far as beating Necron goes...have you noticed the amount of HP he has? He only has about 50,000HP. Using FFVII as an example, Safer Sephiroth has 150,000HP. You only needed to be at level 32 to beat Necron because, quite frankly, at that level, you were doing enough damage to take out Necron. FFIX was designed this way. All the bosses and enemies had less HP then in some of the other Final Fantasies, so you didn't have to be at such a high level to go through the game.

2)CHARACTERS
Are whimsical, pointless and 2D good enough. These words describe them perfectly.
And again, that's your opinion of the characters. Me, I find Zidane a refreshing change for a main character compared to Cloud who was a moody schizophrenic and Squall who was a loner with enough angst to level cities. It was nice to have a main character who had a positive outlook on things and was generally upbeat.

And then you have Vivi, who I find to be one of the deepest characters to ever come out of any Final Fantasy. And I can't see how anyone could disagree.

Of course, there's also Garnet who is second only to Terra as one of the best Final Fantasy female leads I've ever seen.

And then there's Kuja. Some people hate him with a passion. I personally think he's the best villain to come out of Final Fantasy. To me, he is leaps and bounds better than Sephiroth from the way he carried himself, to his motives for doing what he does.

The rest of the characters, admittedly, have their cliche places, but that's true for most of the final fantasies.

3)MAGIC SYSTEM
Is very clever, but way too easy. What happened to the deep junction systems in FFVII FFVIII & FFX? Was FFIX the poor, lazy brother out of these epics?
Alright, what was so deep about the Materia system from FFVII? I want this character to have fire. I'll equip him with fire materia.

Or the Sphere system from FFX. Lesse, I'll have the character traverse this grid, and use spheres to activate abilities and attributes.

There's nothing particulary deep about either of these systems. The only one you could make an arguement for is FFVIII where you stats depended on Magic.
