A lot of people just didn't care about Type-0 because it was always overshadowed by XIII and Versus XIII. Starting life as a cell phone game that may have also been a card game, didn't do much to endear the poor thing to Western fans.

Most of the anger against Squenix largely stems from them seriously dropping the ball last gen with a trilogy no one really demanded, and an MMO that was far from leaving Beta but released anyways to get a quick cash in. Not to mention BS like All the Bravest which kind of became the rallying cry for the disfranchised fanbase to represent everything that was wrong with how SE was handling the FF Brand. I think ten years of fapping about finally caught up to them. Luckily it feels like they have taken notice and are trying to set things right.
