Honestly crazy you haven't played FFIX. It's not just easily one of the very best Final Fantasies, even rivalling VII, but also one of the best JRPGs ever made, and also one of my all time favorite games period. It's one of those 90's/00's JRPGs that demonstrate the best how big of a nose dive we've taken in AAA RPGs compared to then, in terms of charm, fun, soulfulness and actually imaginative fantasy settings. There's also tons of depth to it, with some insanely hard mini games (looking at you, skipping ropes) and tons of secrets. To be fair FF7 Rebirth managed to bring back some of that magic this year, and I was frankly taken aback because I wasn't expecting it to hit so hard.

@@Bubblun1 If you're coming from typical uninspired modern RPGs it's definitely refreshing to play today. It just oozes charm in absolutely everything. It has one of the most traditional skill systems in post-SNES FF history in that each character largely learns their own unique skills. Both tonally and mechanically very different from FFVIII. At the time it felt like a love letter to the then long-time fans of Final Fantasy.

Nice to finally see the 928 getting the appreciation it truly deserves. A hand built superb quality car. Sure it requires some maintenance but when it's all done properly, it's a very solid car. Low mileage GTS's are reaching the 964/993 prices so they're not under appreciated anymore. Amazing, timeless classic. And 100% spot on about the wheels. Those are the best looking rims for the 928 by far. The GT wheels look really good too but those OEM 1987 wheels are not very nice. Cheers. And enjoy.
