FFT, now, that could be underrated.
But even though I do see more in FFVIII than most, I think it's a mistake to imply that one's own likes and dislikes are inherently better than someone else's. I write and read fanfiction, and from what I've seen, there are unintelligent and immature people among the fanbase, just like of any other game.
(Though it is a polarizing game--and I think that what's special about it isn't necessarily in its fans having a certain intellectual makeup but an emotional one.)
