I'll probably do everything I come across.

Also, yeah, I've beeb already stealing from every enemy xD

Got a better sword from Baku.

IX is my least favorite of the three for PS1, but not by much. And it is a fantastic game.
After replaying it again around a year ago, comparing it to todays rpg's, I could especially tell what a great game it is.
It really has a distinct feel to it, as you mentioned. The battle system is good, though pretty slow compared to other FF games, so I would suggest cranking up the ATB speed to max in Options.
Also, remember to steal, steal and always steal, when you fight bosses. That's basically the challenge of the game. Steal all their stuff before they kill you. They pretty much always have something useful to steal.

Oh and there's a way to get boots with Auto Haste on Disc 1. They are very very useful.

In case you consider it a sppoiler, I'll put it in spoiler tags.
At the end of Disc 1 when you're in Alexandria castle, a timer will start counting down at one point. When it does, you can visit a library or something like that, where one of the bookshelfs have a boss that looks like a book. You can steal the boots from him. Or maybe he drops them, I can't recall.

6 I'll keep to play in another time, but also always heard a lot of positive feedback from it.

Of all time?!

It is mine as well. Whats wrong with it being a favorite game?

How can a game with such horrible graphics be your favourite game of all time?
