FF9 FF is best FF. Next to 12,

but my favorite classical JRPG has to be Legend of Dragoon. Definitely beats the FFs - at least in its story and gameplay.

And it's gonna get better and better.

And you finally met Vivi :)

Hey! I'm currently playing FFIX as well :D

I'm now on Disc 3 doing some chocobo sidequests.

Vivi takes FF9 from very good to special.

Glad you're enjoying the game. FFIX is one of the finest JRPG games that you'l ever experience. For me, Disc 1/2/Beginning of 3 was fantastic. It started to slow down afterwards in Disc 3 but it still was interesting and the ending is absolutely fantastic.

I agree! The biggest thing that seperates the "high and mighty" FF7+8 and 9 is its protagonist. Zidane and the whole party of 12 trumps everything that Squall and Cloud could be, although I do enjoy the setting the characters were in. I just couldn't settle with the dull personalities. 

All these RPG's are good in their own right.

Have you played Legend of Legaiia??

I think Vivi is the prime essence of character development. :)

Yup! And don't worry. He won't be like "..." for long, haha!!

Best ff ever made

It's my second playthrough.
