So I was going to start FFVIII, but from what I understand FFIX isn't as long and is a little easier, so I opted to start that one instead. Having played the game ONCE 9 years ago and for not very long, I can honestly say that this is my first time playing through it.

My question is: on average, how hard is it compared to other FF games, and how long is it? I posted earlier on the VIII boards the same question, so I apologize for making similar threads all over the place, but I figure you guys would be the ones to ask!

Anyway, thank you in advance for the info!
