I haven't played much FF9, but what I have played (up to Disc 2) I have liked so far. It has that old-school atmosphere that I like. The graphics are wonderful, in my opinion. The battle system isn't anything new, so that shouldn't be a problem.
FF8 has more of the futuristic atmosphere that I don't like. But don't get me wrong, even though I don't like it, I still did enjoy it (and FF7 as well); just not as much as the others. FF8 is kind of strange because the monsters level up with you, meaning that even if you reach max level, monsters are going to be that much harder. I don't know how much I liked that. The draw system for magic is kinda strange, and the junction system can be confusing at first.
The storylines are pretty good on each. The big mini-game for each is a card game, and they can be addictive. You'll spend a good amount of time on each.
I'd say if you enjoy FFs, you should give them both a try. I've enjoyed all of them so far. If you liked FF7, you'll probably like FF8 more than FF9, however.
