Its amazing that this game originally came out on playstation 1 especially when comparing it to ff7. I don't necessarily think its a better game than 7 but it does a lot of fun and unique things while also returning to a more clasic final fantasy feeling game.
By the later stages of the game many of these novel mini games and side quests become tedious especially chocobo hot and cold. I think the story is a pretty standard fantasy with all the expected tropes. I don't think I was really surprised by anything in the story. The main villain and their motivations feel pretty weak. However I think the world building and set pieces in the world are amazing and really lead to a feeling of a lived in fantasy world.
The ability and synth system are really great and make you feel like you are getting meaningful upgrades for your characters however again like most things they became tedious for me in the last 20% of the game.
Overall I think FF9 is a great game and worth playing for anyone that's into classic feeling JRPG's

If you are a fan of jrpg games this one deserves a play. It makes a lot of quality of life updates that many older jrpgs lack while still keeping the magical feeling many of the old jrpgs have.
I have a few gripes with this game but overall its going to be up there as one of my favorite jrpg's

There is no excuse for how bad this game looks and runs especially considering how good xenoblade chronicles 3 looks on the same system. This game was obviously rushed out but despite that this has the most fun pokemon gameplay loop for me in years. If they just spent longer making the game look better and getting rid of bugs there could really be something special here.
