Most of the FF's are great. Everyone has a favorite - some people prefer VII, while others enjoy VI, and the old-school gamers like the early ones like I-IV. Being that I'm an old-school gamer, I enjoyed FF IX simply because of all the references it makes to FF's from the past. It's like a big FF compendium, but this definitely isn't the only reason that FF IX is so good...
The biggest reason I like FF IX is because of the story and characters. It will captivate you unlike any RPG before it. You can relate to at least one of the characters and the situations they face. I won't spoil the story, but it gets so amazing, and great character development adds to that.
Music is also great. It harkens back to the good ol' days of the FF series, with an amazing Battle Theme, Boss Theme, and even a remix of the old Gurgu Volcano music from FF I. It's all there, and in all, there are over 120 tracks if you count the FMV music.
Speaking of FMV's and graphics, they are also amazing. FF IX goes back to the deformed character designs of past FF's, but it all looks good. There are once again Black and White Mages, a medieval world with Castles and Dragons, Airships, and my favorite FF mascot, Moogles (they act as save points throughout the game).
But, as no game is perfect, FF IX also has 2 tiny problems: 1) The challenge is on the easy side and 2) A lot of the key items are useless, even if they do raise your treasure hunter rank a little bit. But even so, these problems can be easily overlooked, because the game is so amazing.
I recommend FF IX to the old-school FF fans, but even the FF fans who started with VII can enjoy this awesome FF. It's a great mixture of old-school and new-school FF's, which makes for an unforgettable adventure.
