I thought this was the most common opinion

I think the majority of fans would put VII at the top and VIII at the bottom of the 3.

Aside from that, IX has a lot more stans than VIII. And I'd be willing to bet both VII and VIII have more haters.

Agreed most discord I've encountered never takes a shot at 9. It seems like it did nothing anybody could hate.

Playing it on original hardware with 15-second+ load times for every single battle was brutal. And then there's the ATB logjam because of the in-battle loads.

Between that and how happy the game was to throw Game Overs at you early on, I think this was the first game I ever hate-played.

Every boss having valuable stealable items with low chance was brutal too. The fact that you could just keep trying forever instead of a one time calculation just begged you to keep trying. Most weren't hard, just time consuming.

I had a look at the other comments and not seem anyone calling out FF9 specifically, other than to say it was better. I hated it for every second of it I played (well into disc 4).

I hated 8 at first as well but it grew on me and now it's a favourite of mine. 9 just never clicked.
