But i fondly hate FF9.
It's shit. Don't see the love for it.

Its kiddish. Childish and boring. And cliche.

The artstyle sucks. Especially coming from 7 and 8.

The hate for this game is always funny. It’s usually people that like the oddball sci-fi FF games, which were an outlier at the time. IX was a final return to normal Final Fantasy.

I like IX because it isn't trying as hard to be an edgy teenage angst fest like VII and VIII

It's pretty easy to understand actually.
People like the old school Final Fantasy aesthetic.
FF9 is the only time a world like that was fully realized in 3D outside of the MMOs and the remakes of 3 and 4.
So naturally anyone who wants a more modern take on the setting of the first five games is gonna look towards 9.
I guess there's also 16 now but uh I think the action gameplay isn't doing it any favors.

I like 9 how different it is making a western themed game

It was comfy. I dont know how we never noticed the 15 second load times on battles that makes the game unplayable today.
Plus anything was a step up from the giant disappointment that was FF8.
