Hey, peeps who have played Final Fantasy 9:
Is the reason it's so universally canned because the characters are chibi, or is it really not that good a game?
7 bored me within an hour, 8 bored me within an hour, but the clips I've seen of 9 look really interesting, probably BECAUSE the characters are chibi-looking. But I don't want to invest, like, hours of time if the game isn't really that good.
Any input would be appreciated.

Also, steal from every boss. More than once. It's worth it.

If you actually like the character design though, and have a longing for a taste of what Final Fantasy used to be, it may be a worthy game for you.
