Jiddar, I didn't really like FF7 that much. The translation was awful, the story was fragmented, and the villain was a pansy.

FF9 on the other hand, had a near-flawless translation, the story made complete sense and was really involving, and Kuja was the greatest FF villain ever. On top of that, it was just a better game in every other category. The graphics were tons better, the music was phenomenal, the gameplay was a lot better, and it was just more fun overall.
