Wow, am I just imagining things or does this game make people like FFIX better since it's been mentioned so many times in this thread? I don't know about FFXII being the best FF because I haven't played the game yet, and I try not to get myself too hyped (I thought FFX would be the best FF, and it almost turned out to be my least favorite FF), though FFXII has got pretty good reviews, such as a 40/40 score from Famitsu and a 9.0 from GameSpot. It's also one of the most awaited FFs, if not the most.

Kishi: Are you saying FFIX and FFXII were your favorite games by Sakaguchi/Uematsu/Amano team and Matsuno/Sakimoto/Yoshida team, respectively? It's amazing if FFXII even surpasses FFT, or Vagrant Story, which some people consider a masterpiece (I think it also got a 40/40 score from Famitsu).
