When I was a kid, i remember playing Final Fantasy 4 and Final Fantasy 6 without any knowledge on what to do or how the game was supposed to play (turn based RPGS). Neither my english was so good at the time but, kinda got the ropes of what was going on based on what events that went through the game. I didn't completed them and just, left that in the past.

Now at 25 years old, I was interested on Final Fantasy 9 just because of one track that I heard one time on a video that right now I can't remember and, I am really glad I picked up Final Fantasy 9.

Waiting for your bar to allow you to attack reminded me to the classic that it was Chronno Trigger and while in some instances it got me sighting because of my party members dying because I was not more stronger than the other enemy on some times, I have really been liking what the game has thrown to me.
Each of the characters starts believing or behaving in a certain manner and after events that the party members go through, the mentality and behaviour changes in a more reflective way in each of their cases(with Quina is debatable in some sort in my opinion), and I really enjoyed how each character surpassed the struggle that they personally had.

Music didn't had me angry nor bored at any time.

Gaining abilities through your weapons is a curious thing, I mean...one would expect to gain abilities by leveling up only and while that isn't an issue, nor gaining the abilities with the armors and weapons that you have. Granted, you have to grind monsters and the Ability points that you gain do not help when some characters need a huge amount of AP to gain abilities, but it isn't THAT grindy (or at least in comparison with how it feels in other games).
