FFIX is what I perceive to be a true Final Fantasy game in the sense that it focuses more on being an RPG than an anime fan service like VII. There really isn't a main character, but each character has a distinctive path they follow and personal goals/hardships, a true job system focusing on heavy D&D elements, a compelling villain with clear motives, and a phenomenal story with plenty of comic relief and a fantastic ending to wave off severe depression. IX was nearly perfect. It fumbled a bit with Necron as the insert last boss, and a Kuja redemption arc, but I personally forgive it.

That game definitely has a special place with me.
