I think I like ff8 just a tad more than 7. I want to replay 9 but I remember not liking it nearly as much.

9 has good bones but it is made tedious by the amount of backtracking and random battles while doing so. The re releases with the ability to turn off random battles and speedup smooth over a lot of the frustration

I plan to play that version of the game. But I just started octopath 2, so it might be a while.

Same here. I know that 9 gets a LOT of love, but I've just never gotten it. Didn't hate it. Didn't love it.
