I'm not trying to say which FF is best. You're the one saying that, because you thought they were wusses and the game was 'easy', that Square is making them for children. You may wanna take a minute, step back, and realize that these games are being made for people from a whole different country, and they have different ideas on what makes someone manly and, more importantly, what makes people good characters. I prefer story development over 'omfg look at his sword and his muscles xD!!!'.
