Ill say this...people are funny, because the same people that would bash FF VIII from straying from the norm would also be right there defending FF XII saying "change is good, new is better"...when i know a person like myself feels that XII is a DRASTIC change to the point where it doesnt even feel like the series anymore.
VIII at least has characteristics of the roots to final fantasy, same with IX, X...but XII in my book is just a game to me, its not the final fantasy i grew up with and learned to love.
So thats whats funny to me...people bash VIII from being different, yet will XII that strayed 10 times farther than VIII they will defend and say the series needs a change, its like which is it.
