Howver, i still have some more points that I want to put 4 my case.

GRAPHICS
i don't no why, but they don't seem to be AS good as the other PS1 FF's. FFVII felt solid and chunky, FFVIII's felt real & organic (If a little flickery) but FFIX doesn't feel right. Like they don't feel normal. The summons in paticualr. GFs (FF8) had FMV/Graphics and so looked more impressive, FFVII's felt chunky, yet knda good looking. But FFIX's.....they felt wrong. i can't dexcribe it very well.

STYLE
Cartoony? I didn't like it.
Medievil? Great, a breath of fresh air

ZIDANE
Kick ass? if he can only do 9999, then that's not that great. Cloud can do 9999+ thanks to OmniSlash, and Squall can do even greater thanks to Rendozukan/Lionheart.
Maybe Square, wanted to distance themselves from the whupass main guy. But i just didn't like it. He leaned too much towardd being weak, rather then being overly hard. Tidus, is very well balanced, being not too weak, but not too strong.

SUMMONS
What happened to Ifrit? He looks terrible!
Ark is possibly, the most rubbish summon ever,*(In my opinion), too long, for not enough damage (Eden in FF8 did over 9999 if you boosted it), although it switching into a giant robot was kinda cool.

SEND OFF?
Was it a good send off to the FF's on PS1. and before?
I would have to say...........no.

(Oh yeah, I disagree. FF Adventure on the GB is the WORST by far, but I was discussinf TRUE FF's)
Okay lets start again. The graphics were better than 7's, which were composed of blocks and polygons. Secondly, you say you like the original ff.s THEY WERE CARTOONY!! You hate cartoons but like the originals, which are, HEY , CARTOONY! THEY ALL WERE! FF7 AND 8 WERE THE ONLY NON CARTOONY ONES. As for comparing the charachters, thats just stupid. all of the charachters were on different systems. They (in every game) had different attack powers and such. If they were all on the same STANDARD, tahn heck, Vivi could kill them all. Now for ifrit's appearance. Ifrit looked good in this game. In ff7, he was a green blob with horns. In ff8, he was a weak boss that you could easily beat in under 4 minutes, 1 if your a little over leveled. You cant really compare the summon's attack power either, as like recently stated, the games aretn on the same standard! Stop bashing ff9. Give up already.



Oh and as for tidus being a strong charachter, I just ahve to say this.......... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: That whiny brat couldnt kill a sparrow! Thats just my opinon however. He was, though, voted "Whiniest Brat" by Electronic Gaming Monthly.
