It's called popularity. Popularity inevitably overshadoes better things. Final Fantasy has in its shadoes better series like Xenosaga, Chrono and s-forth. May people resent that. If something is well-liked, it will be hated by a good few because of that hype. Main reason I vocalize my contempt for FFVII. It's by no means the best in the series but it is unquestionably the most hyped. No one bothers talking about unknown games they don't like. They talk about games people know about and bitch about them. It's just human nature.
