IX over VIII, my brother/sister
I'm currently replaying all of them via emulator the last few weeks, and I have to say I respectfully disagree.
IX's combat system just feels simplified compared to the depth that VIII had.
Could you absolutely cheese the draw system...of course. But if you avoided the temptation, the almost limitless mechanics of stat pairing was fun to play around with when taking on different enemies.
