It seems a lot of the community is tying this game together with Final Fantasy X and on some level I can see resemblances, the problem is people assume that those who like X would also like XIII and those who hated XIII hate XIII.

Nowadays it seems a lot more people love XIII than hate it and despite my best efforts I'm unfortunately one of the haters. When I was younger and Final Fantasy X came out there was some hate but it didn't seem so bad maybe because I was just too busy enjoying the game to realize. I couldn't wrap my head around why fans of the series would dislike it because it honestly seemed like a good game to me, therefore when I see things the way they are now it makes me feel like I'm one of those people for today's Final Fantasy generation.

I don't know how else to put it so to sum up my confusing post - Does anyone else who enjoyed Final Fantasy X dislike this game? Was the backlash for X as bad as XIII? This is making me feel like I'm outgrowing the series and I really don't want that to happen.
