Charged151 posted... There is a lot that keeps IX from being perfect. Just a few issues.
-Trance mechanic not being controllable.
-Really low steal rates for the last items bosses give.
-Insane 100 card limit which ruins the card game.
-Too much hitting the damage limit of 9999 by the Endgame with too much.
-Hideous art style (Sorry, had to say it.)
-Ripping off Dragon Ball. People with tails. Kuja blowing up a planet.
-Quina...
-Story being all over the place.
-Annoying missable chests.
-Never getting to defeat Beatrix (She really couldn't have been fought as a Superboss?).
-The final boss coming out of nowhere.
I'll end on a positive note though...
-It had 4 characters in a battle. 3 is just too limiting, and I feel hurts FF7 and FF8.
Your forgetting the hidden time limit for one of the best weapons in the game.
