Criticize This Game
So I used to be a total ass about this game. Full of righteousness I would obnoxiously proclaim how this game was perfect and FFVII was total garbage just because it was more popular.
I want to atone. Mainly because I see people doing exactly what I used to do and it irritates the hell out of me. FFIX does not deserve any slavish love or worship. It is a good game but has many, many flaws.
Let us highlight those flaws.
Amarant is too tall.
Flaw: Kuja is not wearing pants.
The end.
Wrong, the problem isn't that he's wearing too little clothing. the problem is that he has a long john fun stick.Originally Posted by Sephiroth

I guess the fact that Amarant appears far, far too late for a main character. Seriously, like what's the deal with that? Tied in with this is the lack of character development on the part of Amarant and somewhat as well Quina. Even Freya arc is slightly boring to be perfectly honest (Come on, Sir Fratley?) and after that she drops out of the story pretty much.
So yeah. It's a great game but it is not without it's faults.
Yeah, character development has always been one of SE's flaws seemingly.VII is the only one that did it well in my opinion. Not perfect but well.

It didn't age well graphically. Um. There is probably more but I'm really not feeling it. FFIX was pretty great.
Oh. Trance is a piece of trout that activates at the worst times. It makes sense to work as it does based on the in universe explanation but that doesn't mean it isn't a bitch.
Uh. Maybe later I'll think of something.
Flaws ?
Can't think of any.
Serious. Everything about this game feels great.
It's such a great game that people often have little to say about it other than "Yeah, it's amazing right?". Makes for uninteresting discussions.
Wrong. He has no pants. That is really a flaw more me. No room for jokes.Wrong, the problem isn't that he's wearing too little clothing. the problem is that he has a long john fun stick.
on the subject of Trance, why was it even there? i mean every time it activated on me the fight was 1 hit from being over and the person that went into Trance is like the 3rd in line to attack thus Trance got wasted every time, why did it not carry over to the next fight like all Limit Breaks, not once was i able to pull it off, admittidly i didnt get far in the game before all its flaws turned me off from it... Trance and learning skills from equipments that were not permanent but rather you could assign only a couple of the skills that you "learned" at a time, you learn the skill you should be able to use it at all times not have to change out your "learned" skills every time you enter a new area... then theres the character design, i baught the game launchday, a week later the Artbook of FFIX came out and i saw all the awesome character designs that could have been, the original character designs before they deformed them, even Zidane & Steiner looked awesome before the deformation, this game was gonna look so awesome then they 4th graded the art direction... then of course who didnt let out a groan of "really?" when Garnet decided to call herself possibly the most cliched character name that doesnt fit her, "Dagger"...
Amano Artworks always look different if you mean his art - where Steiner really looks different.
IX also slips up from the really cliche SE blunder of having a really obscure final boss. To this day, I have no idea what Necron is or what purpose it gave to the story. That's very lazy writing there.
It is the force of nature which is supposed to end all life when the existence crystal is destroyed.
