Take note that this was played on pc with the moguri mod, which I think most people would say is the definitive way to play this game now. Those fella did some good work.
FF9's good. I think the last 3rd or so starts losing it for me but disc 1-2 is really compelling and has some great moments, and the whole game is held up by a really strong main cast with some great character development across the board.
My personal opinion is that ATB is kinda clunky and leads to weird situations in battle and goddamn it is easy to lose track of what your own action order is going to be, but it's held up by a combination of good fight designs and good party designs, even though they kinda made two daggers that was kinda weird.
Also, while the moguri mod was def doing a lot of heavy lifting, the game visually has held up pretty well for a PS1 game with some tight art direction. Got some bangers too.
There's times the game urked me but it's got a ton of soul and I enjoyed it all the way through. Pretty cool.
