Well to be fair Croyles, FF is a bit different from other game series cause each entry is practically a stand alone title in its own right. Due to this, FF probably has the largest and most diverse amount of fans cause there is most likely a game here you are going to like. On the flip-side, you will probably see some things you don't want to see either. Due to its popularity you get a wonderful assortment of fanboys, trolls, and fanboy-trolls.

For these reasons I don't really get the fuss about people voicing a complaint and not jumping up for joy for every little thing with FF in the title. Though it would be good to hear more positive comments but it just seems like people are indifferent or are unwilling to express their proper feelings.

As for Nomura, he's too "pop" for my taste and I generally prefer his more anime style over his realistic looks. I think the last game he did I really enjoyed was TWEWY cause for once his designs actually fit in and didn't look out of place in context of the world.
