FF 9 is my all time favourite game so i think you should chose FF9, FF 8 has a more "futuristic" setting like FF7, on the other hand FF9 takes place on a medieval setting, so if you prefer a FF like FF 1-6 chose FF9, if you prefer futuristic settings FF8. Also pay special attetion to the junction tutorial if you chose FF8 it was a bit confusing and its important to make your characters stronger

I'd go with FF9 even though I haven't played much of it yet. That junction system in FF8 is so damn tedious I wanted to kill everyone around me. Fortunately it's also broken so I was able to kill everyone around me quite easily.

Aaah, FFVIII was what got me into the series and RPGs in general. So if you've not experienced either FF, go for that, because I say so Wink

I do love IX though, it was the second FF I played. Retrospectively, I love it, and it has my favourite soundtrack of all FFs. Some great characters and I think it has the best character enhancement system - because it's so simple.

I think the fanbase in general would say FFIX too, I love how it goes back to the series' roots.

Either way, let us know what you go for, and what you think! Smile

9 is my favorite. as waldo said, 8 is broken. there aren't really any challenging fights after a certain point because you can make your guys superpowered. 9 is more balanced. you can attain a high level but getting to 100 is difficult. the hardest monster is really hard and there are hard optional bosses near the end.

Get IX. The draw and GF system in VIII were design mis-steps that hurt the game. Its unfortunate because the story, story telling, characters and graphics are all good and well done, but the game mechanics are just.....clunky, complicated and tedious.

It really does depend on your tastes in final fantasy, I do like both of them but personally 9 edges out 8, I more prefer the story of 9 to 8 because it is much more similar to the older games in the series but really it depends on what you like in a Final Fantasy.
