I always found Amarant to be extremely useful. Only falls behind if you're stopping to grind out, which you don't really need to in 9. But I'm no 9 know it all though. Throw deals full damage from the back row. Was it quadruple or double on flying foes? *shrug* No delay on it either compared to things like Jump.

The ATB in 9 drives me insane. It's much slower than all prior entries, even with haste it's barely tolerable. Freezes during animations and crap. It's one of the reasons I've only replayed 9 a few times.

If they doubled the speed of the battles, it'd feel much more in line with other FF games. But sadly it's slow as hell, which makes things like Regen absolutely broken. By the time an animation is done, you've gotten 3-4 ticks of HP in, pretty much invalidating the damage you've taken. Auto-Regen breaks the game's difficulty for you practically.

You think Auto-Regen is bad now, wait until you get Cruise Chaser Ark. His full summon animation is so long, Auto-Regen will fully heal you from single digits.

Midlife crisis... I bought a fantasia and race changed. Fun.

Logically you know a 1/60-scale kit is much bigger than a 1/144 or 1/100, but you don't really think about HOW much bigger until you start building it.

I've had a thornhill dollhouse; scale is a thing. Bought it for my kids on Craigslist and it wasn't until we went to pick it up that we realized just how big a 1:12 dollhouse is when it's got 14 rooms.

More FF9. At the part of Disc 3 where you get the ship and have already visited a few places. But now it's time for everybody's game breaking part...Chocobo Hot and Cold! You get enough treasure from it in this disc to superpower your team.

Out of the PS1 era FFs...9 is the one I know the least. I finished it once and just couldn't get into playing it again.
