Er..simple answer, because they like it. You post a thread about why you don't like FFIX your going to get opinions from people who liked it as well. That makes a discussion! Anyway I don't think they are trying to "protect" it, I think they just like it

Music of FFIX. Theme was good, Loss Of Me was fine, and I love the music on Terra. But it's not GOOD enough. Think about it, Eyes On Me in FFVIII was powerful, enchanting and deep. Melodies of Life is the stuff you scrape off the inside of a Chip Pan. World Map Music was also Dire.
Who decides what is "good enough"? Again you are setting a standard which doesn't exist, not trying to argue with you but I *liked* Melodies of Life a lot! I also loved the World Map music. I liked Eyes on Me too, but the soundtrack to IX is one of my favourites and I hope to buy it soon..
Didn't Nobuo Uematsu compose both of these songs (Eyes on Me and Melodies of Life) in which case you are complimenting one of his songs and totally insulting another.

Mini Games....Chocobo Hot & Cold was fine, but it lacked the fun that FFVII's chocobo racing had. As for the others, it just was you pressing X and correct points, talking to Mogs at the right points and doing random actions. Not a Minigame, but a exercise in pressing X,X,X,X,X.X over and over
Chocobo Hot & Cold was more fun to me than chocobo racing. Oh and in the fighting bit you had to press other symbols not just X!


So.. anyway hope you don't think I'm trying to argue or even "defend" FFIX, I'm just saying why I love it, as you say why you hate it.
