IX is way too slow and takes forever. The battle speed puts me to sleep. And the story is certainly not any better than VIII's. Also the card game is inferior to Triple Triad.

Edit: Even II's story is better than IX's because it at least has a despicable antagonist that doesn't wear stockings and a thong. Also, Emperor Mateus is so powerful you need to kill that mf twice.

Yup. FFII is trash and so is VIII. Just straight facts.

IX on the other hand.

IX is... I don't know...

This is serious business. You either take part or you are forced to play Legend of Dragoon, your choice. Pick your poison.

FF2 is the only classic FF I couldn't finish. Too gloomy and weird... but quite memorable. I don't think it's a bad game based on the little I played and what I've seen on Youtube.

FF8 is overly-hated T_T It was my first or tied-first proper RPG (coming from MegaDrive/Genesis), so it blew my mind at the time. I replayed it over a decade later on PS3 and still enjoyed it; didn't appreciate how slow the battle system was, and the characters weren't as likeable as I remembered them. It had such a sick atmosphere (top 3 imo alongside FF7 and FF4) and some of the best OSTs in the series.

FF9 was a great experience in its own right, but had one of the least innovative and slowest battle systems in any RPG I played. Load time before during and after battles, and forced Trance activation/deactivation really hurt my enjoyment. Felt like a poor man's FF6. Loved the characters though, probably my 2nd favorite cast in the series after FF6.

FF5 is low-key the GOAT for being very enjoyable and fairly challenging to me despite being the last classic FF I played. Excellent gameplay system, lots of content, and lovable characters.

My apologies to BraLoD for still not playing BraLoD years after he recommended it :P

Bold: Exactly, you've nailed it! Every single battle takes an eternity.

Other: FFV is indeed a fantastic game and has the best battle system so far in my opinion. The amount of customization was unheard of back in the days and has had a major influence on future titles. It doesn't get enough credit. I agree that FFVIII has an outstanding soundtrack, I love it.

I heard you like that game. Thought I'd give it a try. It only cost me half my liver and my firstborn son.

Congrats on the purchase! I hope you have a good time when you try it. I own it digitally on the PS3, played it again a couple of months ago and I found it a ton of fun if flawed at times. The OST is really good though, that and the combat system are the best parts of the game.
