It's entirely possible to like FF9 on the strength of its gameplay. Speaking personally, I've never played FF3DS, but speed just isn't incredibly important to me in an RPG battle systems, beyond a certain point. A particularly snappy system can improve a game, sure. Meanwhile, mastering abilities off of equipment is like a dopamine IV straight to my brain. I like what trance does for each of the characters (feels more individualized than (mostly) variations on damage attacks like limits in 7/8), even though building/not being able to hold the meter is hot garbage. I think each character has a pretty cool diversity of options at their disposal (eg, as a thief Zidane isn't stuck to only having steal and flee) and can fill multiple niches.

They're doing their best to live very serious lives and they just happen to fall down sometimes. I think that's neat.
