Stupid Moomba 88, your post came to me while I was surfing so I'll just argue my case.

FF9 vs FF8
I think that Final Fantasy IX is hard but I prefer it to Final Fantasy VIII. Number 8 is the most complicated FF there has been
I don't agree with you there. FF9 is easy, people in this forum have already said that and most the planet had said it's EASY. This means that you must also be new to
FF games too.

Also, FF8 wasn't complicated. It had easy buttons for those that couldn't get it's Junction system. It was just more FLEXIBLE, something that FF9 isn't. FF9 is very restrictive, for each character has different abilities.

The junction system is a lot harder than all the other ways. Equiping weapons and armour (FFIX) is one of the simplest but effective ways to upgrade characters.
Nope, FF8 wasn't hard. Plus, FF8 was a revelation, with Square trying new things. So it makes sense it alienated some players. i throughly enjoyed FF8, and if you played it more then you'll agree.

CHARACTERS
I must agree with Legolas63 that some characters aren't very playable, but thats the same with all of them. I couldn't stand Irvine and Zell, very annoying people. I also can't get involved with playing as Barret and Yuffie, they are not interesting people. But as I say, we are not not her to judge characters, but to talk about the nineth Final Fantasy
I didn't say they weren't playable, i said they wearn't LIKEABLE. And no, Irvine & Zell wearn't dislikable, they were mis-understood. But i doubt you played FF8 all the way through. And judging characters in FF9 is discussing FF9, so lets continue doing that

ENDING?
As for your (spoiler)Zidane being dead thing, you knew he wasn't going to die. And another thing, it wasn't upsetting, only FFX's ending brought me close to tears. FF9's was too sickly sweet how everything is wrapped uop in a nice little bow. There's no room for plot discussion because everything is wrapped up.Everyone is happy, Eiko gets parents, Garnet gets Zidane, Steiner gets Beatrix,Quina becomes a chef,Freya gets her lost love. Everyone gets what they want. one of the worst endings i'll say.

As for your Necron comment, i couldn't care what you cat can do. If you're gonna post. post something relevent, so we can discuss it and not something so random and irrelevent that it's not worth talking about.
I hope you'll express some better opinions next time.
