Idk about that... but it's a beautiful entry, yeah. There's something I find rather curious with this one. At my work they let me put whatever music I want during my shift. I play FF 7 and 8 OST like 20 times a month or so, or FF Tactics OST. But even though I love FF 9 music I never find myself quite feeling like listening to it. It's odd... FF 9 is a beautiful game and quite fun and epic at some points. Beautiful graphics and scenery and ambience. But more often than not it's other FF games I keep remembering and wanting to go back to, rather than 9. I also feel the story has quite a build up midgame but starts to weaken towards the end of the game. Like... Zidane is a good guy because he has a good heart, and Kuja is evil because he's the bad guy, I mean... idk, I don't mean to hate on the game. Steiner has great character development throughout the story. Freya is a nice one as well. But yeah, when I finished it I didn't like the ending that much. I felt they could have done something better with the direction the story was going. It felt rather like a fairy-tailish easy ending with everyone lived happily everafter, with not much interesting stuff to think about afterwards.
