And that makes it the first time I cried for a happy ending. We didn't ask you to compare them. You're a winer, get over it.
I was whining? Sorry didnt notice... And yes it is true FF9 has more fleshed out characters than FF7 ( more experience within the game design team at square and a helluva stronger jap -> eng translation helps alot here ).

And Aeris was plain annoying...I hated her... besides Tifa has WAY bigger boobs j/k

Zidane was a pimp and I liked how he would repeatedly try to get at Dagger, which was a good change from the withdrawn nature of Squall and Cloud, I like withdrawn hard characters but to repeat this would get boring, they over did it with Tidus though. In terms of romance I would go VIII best ending in the history of FF, and it was very emotional too, you felt it, X Tidus was whack but even the miniscule sensitivity in me felt bad in the end, ruining the ending with X-2, I blame TSW because Square i heard needed to cash in fast to get the cash to stay afloat, IX and VII are tied, VII had a decent love triangle with Tifa and Aeris but it could ahve been done better, and IX just ended to quickly for me, I wanted a little more(Zidanes breakdown at the end should have lasted longer).
I agree with you on FF8 having best ending, it wrapped everything up perfectly. No plot holes, or loose ends, the ending felt very solid...

But I dont think FF9 was the least mature, sure it was a little well..."bouncier" or "happy" than other FFs. FF9 gets dark really fast at the end, especially when Kuja goes into trance and the whole time you are on the planet Terra ( especially in the village and Garland's castle ), it feels empty and hopeless...and Necron was one of the creepiest bosses ever to grace a FF. Besides, you cant beat the awesome "messenger of ruin" or "final battle" songs, some of the best battle music in any FF ( if not THE best )...

I thought FF7 was the most kiddish one Ive played. Some of the dialogue was very cheesy and the characters act like little kids too sometimes ( and no, i dont think it was the chibi models either ).

FF7 fans please dont flame me...
