Did you just put IX behind every other mainline FF...? oh boy... ;p

I did, but only because of the trash characters, trash story, trash dialogue, and... Well, I suppose the actual combat was okay. a Return to four characters, even if every single character on screen was an eyesore.

To be fair, FF9 was originally developed to be a spinoff. It was not developed by the main FF dev team and wasn't going to be a part of the main series. That is why the game is genericized, and seems very much like a Crystal Chronicles game rather than a true mainline Final Fantasy. http://archive.thegia.com/news/n990524a.html

Likely, the reason Square decided to call it Final Fantasy 9 was so their PS2 debut could be labelled Final Fantasy X.
