Because FFIX brought back the ownage from FFV that is the AP ability system, which kept your people from getting insanely overpowered *cough*Lv. X Locks*cough* and it kept people in their precise roles.

My FFX game for instance, I never need to tag out. Why? Because Tidus, Auron, and Yuna own all. Tidus has all of Wakka's abilities, Auron has all of Tidus' and Wakka's abilities PLUS Quick Hit, and Yuna has all of her white magic, all of Lulu's BLACK magic, doublecast, AND AND AND all of Rikku's Al Bhed abilities. She even hits well over 70000 damage per hit, and imagine what the aeons can do if Yuna herself can do this. I've taken Nemesis (the big 10,000,000 HP arena boss) down EASILY with my team, and this was all done within like 36-40 hours.

The final boss in FFX is even disappointing. Underpowered he's easy, overpowered he's ridiculous.. three hits with my team is all it takes for a complete final boss sweep. I wouldn't even call the last two forms anything special, because one part their HPs never go over 99999 meaning your overpowered party uses one hit to knock each one out, and then on the last part.. you have fuggin AUTO-LIFE cast on ALL your members. Absolutely RIDICULOUS.

Then you have FFIX.. Zidane is a thief with the steal skill that you have right from the get go, and he never leaves that thief area. Garnet is the combination White Mage/Summoner (Rydia anyone?) who has one hell of a background and storyline, Vivi is the little black mage that could, who makes friends with Steiner who has his own abilities next to Beatrix, who he trains with basically. Everyone keeps to themselves, abilities are learned and mini-games are played and loved. The side quests are fun as hell, and even rewarding. You get to see old friends, new faces, and even more from the past.

I fail to see how FFX is anything but pure trash heh.
