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.

FF9 was a game where the team was supposedly going back to their roots. The mages are reminiscent of the very early FF games (FF1 through 4), for instance. Nobuo Uematsu took that to heart the most, in fact. The game has a lot going for it.

Still, even with all of that goodness, I just couldn't get past the ugly character design and couldn't bring myself to buy a copy.

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.
