I got into the FF series pretty late in the game so I don't have nostalgia for any of them. I've never let nostalgia cloud my judgement of anything, and I've had several of games I loved as a kid but cannot stand to play now. People always throw around meaningles buzzwords like "nostalgia goggles" and "overrated" without a single fact to back them up, and then it turns out they know little to nothing about said games and are just repeating crap they've heard elsewhere. The FF fandom in general is particularly notorious for this.
