We get it, this game sucks

Yeah, FFIX had a terrible everything compared to other FFs in my opinion. I didn't even enjoy it much the first time through. Not to mention so much was put in just for 'nostalgia's sake' but wasn't even well done. Stupid characters, boring battle system, worthless story. At least X-2 had a good battle system, even though it had the most pointless story ever. The gameplay is what made it worth the money. For me, that's what any fun game is all about: gameplay. If the only thing I want is a story, I'm better off watching a movie and not wasting my time not having fun as I 'play the game' between scenes.

FFs never really had 'deep dramatic stories' before FFVI. I really liked FFV's story, but it wasn't movie quality and the reason it was good. I agree that 'FF Fans' just love to bitch about anything that isn't 'that one game' which is their favorite. 'That one game' is typically either being FFVI or FFVII, but I'm sure eventually people will start saying how those are overrated and 'suck' and adopt some other FF as the 'true' FF. Whatever. FF has become more of a pop-culture thing. It's 'cool' to be into FF, but alot of 'FF Fans' don't seem to enjoy half the games at all.
