I started this game, got about 10 hours in, then put it on hold for a while. Just tried going back to it and for whatever reason can't really get into it.
Everything about FF9 is just absurdly slow. The loading screens are slow, the battle system is slow, even the story is slow. Allegedly, the story is really good and the characters do get more interesting later, but I don't really have the patience for another "it gets good 20 hours in" kind of game.
I'll probably get back to this at a later date when I don't have such a huge backlog. Regardless, from what I've played of this, I can't say I'm particularly impressed. It's not bad necessarily, just not all that interesting and hasn't aged well at all.

I'd definitely agree about this game's flow, it is very slow. I wouldn't say the game being slow is an "aged" aspect (after all FFVII is decently paced and for the same system), I think Square tried biting off more then they could chew with the hardware and as a caveat the game takes an asinine amount of time to load.
That being said, even thought I'm not a big fan of this game, I would say to finish it at least once.

yeah the battles are slow but you get used to them as you get further into the game. The only time the battle system gets really annoying honestly is with ozma
