I love IX myself as well 8) Sometimes I do think it is underrated because many have silly reasons for not liking it. If somebody simply does not enjoy it, I can accept that and not call it underrated...But if somebody won't play the game because of the art style they used (and there are many "OMFG THEY'RE CHIBI AND MORPHED CAN'T TOUCH IT" out there), then that's kind of silly to me... X is still my favorite though.
