FF9 was the worst of the PS1 games. Fight me.
I thought this was the most common opinion
I think the majority of fans would put VII at the top and VIII at the bottom of the 3.
Aside from that, IX has a lot more stans than VIII. And I'd be willing to bet both VII and VIII have more haters.
Agreed most discord I've encountered never takes a shot at 9. It seems like it did nothing anybody could hate.
Playing it on original hardware with 15-second+ load times for every single battle was brutal. And then there's the ATB logjam because of the in-battle loads.
Between that and how happy the game was to throw Game Overs at you early on, I think this was the first game I ever hate-played.
Every boss having valuable stealable items with low chance was brutal too. The fact that you could just keep trying forever instead of a one time calculation just begged you to keep trying. Most weren't hard, just time consuming.
