Though ff9 isn't the best in the series, it was still a worthy installment as far as I'm conserned. It had an interesting story line, countless hours of sidequests, and even though the characters weren't as good as ff7 or ff6, they were still well developed.

I felt that the music was also well done too. It fit the mood of the story well, even if some of the songs weren't as memorable as previous installments.
