Yes I would have, because 99% of the time people skip the cutscenes and could care less about the lore of a dungeon they just want to run it for the tomes or drops. The Main scenario is mediocre at best anyways its nothing compared tot he stories of FF7, FF9, or FF10.

And that's depressing. No point in catering the game to illiterate spazzes that cluster together in endgame so much. Also YMMV on story quality. That you consider FF9 a good one is hilarious to me, for example.

Well. FF7 is overall considered the best (by number of people), and sephiroth the most interesting boss/character of the series.
With that in mind, its evident you shouldnt really expect to much from popular opinions. :P

While he may have phrased his oppinion rather harshly, which you are equally guilty of by the way, I agree with Ryu. THe Final Fantasy 9 story is among the worst. 1# It just stole the plot from dragon ball z. 2# Kuja's motivation is kinda lame. 3# It was made deliberately goofy.

It would have worked much better with a normal looking queen, less animal people and Zorn and Thorn as the main bad guys.

9 has a stellar soundtrack, but the story is pretty meh by Final Fantasy standards.

Maybe that's why I like FF9 so much more than most people, I liked the visuals but more than that, the lame story didn't bother me.. In fact, I've never really appreciated any of FF's stories.
I thought all FF had meh stories.
I uhh.. have a very different taste when it comes to appreciating stories though

How is the plot stolen from DBZ? Having watched every episode of DBZ (including all the less than stellar fillers), I just don't see it. How is Kuja's motivation lame? Trying to overcome your creator and predestined purpose and then being overwhelmed with the fear of dying....yeah lame? How was it goofy? ????

Story-wise I'd rank it over several of the numbered titles in the series; I, II, III, V, VIII, XII, and XIII

WTF are you talking about? FF9 is one of the best ones.

FF9 didn't have that bad of a story, the only issue I have with it was that Necron was completely unnecessary. The story would have been better off without him.

I hope you realize Dragon Ball's Son Goku was based on the Chinese novel Journey to the West... It's not an uncommon theme for stories in far east Asia.
I only say this to clear up any fanboy worshipping of Toriyama Akira before it gets out of hand, I like the guy but Dragon Ball was far from his magnum opus.. Dr. Slump, now that's something.

Ahh far from fanboy worship. I actually hate dragon ball and consider it among the worst anime in existence. This just makes it all worse for me. When I said that Goku's and Zidane's tail has no reason I meant that in the story they are the only people with a monkey tail so being a Genome/Saiyan is not an answer

And Code Geass (just use the "foreigner" definition of "alien" in this case)

Prince sent to a province of an Empire to be as far from the court as possible with his memories intact, aquires some superpowers and decides to take revenge on the Empire and hunt down his mother's killers.
Sorry, not seing it.

I try to avoid saying things like this was bad or that sucks. Opinions are opinions and mine is in no way better than anyone else's. I do think there are certain aspects of 9 that are objectively better than those of 7. 7 does a lot of things better than 6 but fails in some aspects compared to 8. But it is subjective how important these aspects are for different people. I also didn't like Necron. But I didn't like Kuja either. Zorn and Thorn however are the best. I kinda hope they get into XIV somehow. Does emperor Varis have jesters?
