Both. The game is simply blah and the fanbase is (often, but not always) made of people born after 1990 who've never played a real Final Fantasy like VI or IX.
I'll agree with Roto, except that I do like the game. I'm more than willing to admit it's over hyped though as it's not without quite a few flaws, chief among them being a poor translation that, I think, may actually make the story seem worse than it is at times.
