Yes, it's worth it.
The problem is, it starts off painfully slow and isn't very fun at all at the beginning. I am always so very reluctant to replay it because, while looking forward to the awesome 1/4 way and onward part, I know I have to endure the beginning which makes me want to claw my eyes out.
For that, I can imagine there are thousands of un-played ff9 copies collecting dust on people's shelves.
But it is an amazing game. It's reminiscent of FF6 (3 US) and earlier games in that each character is unique and has their own built-in job class.The music is fantastic too.
Just make sure to set it on fastest and active; no FF game is really "worth" it without those settings. (One reason why I hate FF10.)
Hey thanks alot
I actually just stopped playing after the start due to the battles being quite slow and just overall boring. I couldn't get into the characters and it all seemed overly corney (but not in a funny way, more annoying/irritating). I played ff7/Suikoden 2 instead but I'll give this a shot based on this. At least 1/4 into the game.. thanks
