See, if I have a mindset that a game will be bad before I play it, I'm more likely to like it than hate it. It's actually the reason I never truly loved VI and IX the way most people do, because I listened to hype for those games for a decade or two before I played them, and they could never reach the heights of the pedestal people put them on. If people slag off a game I go in expecting bad and am often pleasantly surprised!

I think with FFI-III the primary reason people play them is to tick off the "I played all the FF games" checkbox. I don't think many people go in with much of a predetermined view of those games, personally, but maybe I'm projecting there.
