It was light-hearted but not goofy or childish, the characters actually had a charming quality (except for Quina…that was a strange one).
Sorry guy, but you seriously played a different game than I did, or you just have a very different opinion of what charming is. Maybe charming in the same way that Snow White was.
I'm not the only one that thought FF IX was "Disneyish", but I'm glad you enjoyed it, even if I didn't.
Might give Rogue Galaxy a try since you mentioned it. I've had that sitting on my shelf for almost a year.
