ok, it seems alot of people didnt understand my point so i will try to put it another way.

Fantasy is classically goblins and trolls, medieval or period setting, style and clothing with minimal technology, such as Dragonlance or tolkien.

FF7, 8, 10 and X2 all possed a future'istic feel and design/look. Certainly 9 had airships and industry, but it was really underdeveloped and heavily overshadowed by magic and period, it had returned much more to the grass roots of fantasy in almost every way.

Im not saying this is bad, im saying that 9 was very Fantasy driven and stands out from the other FF's, in my opinion.

Theres other things that made this game bottom of my list, but then i feel it has some of the best FMV of the FF's and it has the best character ever, the four armed bandit.

Online here it's easy to get similar oppinions, but i know alot of FF fans who never visit these sites and didnt like FF9.
