Good choices! Vivi's character and story is really lovely in particular. I think 9 has remained my favourite of the series for so long because it feels really quite fantastical. After slogging through FF8, which wasn't so bad really, it was nice to go back to something more "traditional" in terms of fantasy. Plus, airships. Plus, Quina. Plus, the soundtrack. Oh god, I need to go and play it again now.

I feel the exact same way about Final Fantasy IX. It was sad how Freyas home town of Burmecia got destroyed but Vivis story was especially tragic. How he never had a home. How he didn't know what he was nor where he belonged. That scene where all those black mages fell out of the sky. Damn that game is amazing.

Now I feel like playing it again! But I'm having too much fun being a bro with my boys in Final Fantasy XV. Maybe later in the year, but spare time is a precious and rare commodity.
