Is it me or do most anime fans love this game. Now I know a lot more prefer FFVII. I think that FFIX was far too under appreciated, in America we seem to prefer Action or Violent games while there is a lesser of us who prefer RPGs.
Now I would rather play a good story-based RPG than some High Def action shooter. It just seems that I'm a man who likes a storyline but back to FFIX.
This seems to be one of the most favorite for anime fans. I fell in love with it before I watched much anime but I do seem to love anime. I mean the cut scenes seem to have a animeish essence to them. I still think that this game had the best cutscenes around. they were intense and the music was the best.
The game was great and I would play it before any other, except for maybe a remake, scratch that, I like the style it is in now. Those characters were a lot easier to fall in love with and become interested in the storyline. So I guess most RPGs appeal to anime fans.
