Every battle just takes forever, what with the opening animation and camera moves, then every animation taking a billion years to start up and complete. Compare to FF7, where everything feels snappy and quick, and even the animations that are a little drawn out mostly feel that way for effect and so the attack has more visual impact.

This is very true honestly. And sure you can mod it or whatever (I did), but that doesnt change how botched the official remaster is. And until these issues are fixed (also please just upscale the damn pre-rendered backgrounds), FF9 remains out of my top 5 unfortunately.

Disagree about the AP system though. Of course its gonna suck if youre a completionist, but its more than adequate for the average player. And I actually like forcing the player to choose between learning an ability vs equipping better gear. It can make for some interesting risk vs reward situations
