So, as I've said before, Final Fantasy IX is my third favorite in the series, behind IV and VI. I love almost everything about it, but there are a couple things I didn't like.

1) Trance - I hated how the whole Trance system worked. Say you're fighting a minor regular battle and Zidane gets his trance...I just think it's kind of a waste of a trance, because you can't decide when you want to use it, like you could in other games, like say FFVII (Limit Break being VII's equivelant to Trance).

2) The Battle System - It was a little slow. It's nothing major or anything, but it is among the few things I felt could've been better.

3) Blue Magics - Most of the blue magics seemed more useless than in previous games, I thought. For example, Magic Hammer in FFVII was one of the best Enemy Skills, in my opinion. In FFIX, it was only like half as useful. Aqua Breath only takes off 1/4 of the enemy's max HP, so I've read. In other games, it dealt random damage like any other magic does. So I didn't really like that 1/4 max HP deal. The last example I'll list is Mighty Guard. It just seemed like it wore off way too quickly. The blue magic Night was quite useful, though...putting all enemies to sleep with I believe a 100% success rate, as long as they're not immune to sleep.

That's really about it, though. Everything else about the game I love.
