I don't know Leon, I think cast interaction is better in FFIX than almost any other game ever. There's so much of it (thanks, ATEs) and it's so rich and colorful. I think if FFVII didn't have some amazing Cloud-related scenes and VIII didn't have some terrific Squall introspective IX would beat them both into utter submission in that regard. As it stands, it just stands a cut above them.
