3 years ago, I stopped playing FFIX because it didn't have that Final Fantasy feel to it and I just flat out hated it, despite playing it for 12 hours. So a few days ago I tried to start off from where I left off in my game; I thought that maybe my appeal to the game would be different and that I could actually enjoy it. My views on the game didn't change at all, in fact, I still hated it just as much as I did 3 years ago. I tried to enjoy it, but I just couldn't.

Maybe my tastes are a little varied, all of the Final Fantasy games I've ever played had that "Final Fantasy" feel to it. In Final Fantasy IX, that feeling was missing and I can't explain it. Maybe Squaresoft wanted to try something new, but if they did then they did a terrible job impressing me.
