Soooo
I started FFIX almost a week ago.
I
Love it.
It's sooo good! I'm almost 10h in (I must confess, an hour was probably lost because I fell alseep in the car while playing (I managed to pause the game before sleeping)). The story is for now insanely good, the characters are amazing (for now Steiner either makes me mad or impressed). Vivi is an absolute must protect from everything (and I LOVE how everyone just agrees that Vivi IS to be protected and how they just adopted him so easily it's so precious).
Dagga is good too! I am used now in the franchise to see women willing to do things and not just waiting for everything to happen which is great honestly, they have such amazing female characters.
Freyja wow, I love her design she is so cooool! Really well done, but I don't know her enough yet to go deeper than that.
The cutscenes are stunning, the artwork is beautiful, the musics never disappoint.
I do have one problem though.
The battles. Oh gosh I don't like it at all. The system is similar to FFVIII and FFVII with the ATB but, and perhaps it's because in the version I have of FFVII and FFVIII I can speed up time, it takes an eternity to fill. I also don't understand why they take so long to attack once I selected their action. Maybe it's because I only have the digital version but it can be troublesome when the ennemy hits my characters twice while the characters still haven't moved.
You see, I told my mother that if I could switch FFX and FFIX gameplays, then FFIX would be perfect in my eyes.
Oh also, I didn't understand a thing to the card game- at least when I played the Triple Triad in FFVIII I it was only because I didn't get what the number meant on the cards-
I'll give it a try at some point, we'll see.
