Is it because you simply like it, or because you're "gushing" over it? That implies you have little to no criticism about the games. And while I'm with you that we should just let people enjoy things, it can be pretty grating to have people needlessly praise and fawn over something that has a lot of flaws.

The story is a mess. Everyone always says "It was marketed as Final Fantasy meets Disney!" which it wasn't. That's what it obviously is, but it was marketed solely as a Disney game. If you asked 27yo me if I did think FF meets Disney is a good concept, I would say it's absolutely corny and terrible.

But really it just comes down to how fabulously mismanaged and shortsighted they were spreading entries over so many different platforms. Spin-offs alone would have been fine, but including important parts of the story that you need to understand actual "main title" entries is ridiculous. I personally get really pissed off by that, because as someone in a poor family who could barely afford the PS2 and new games, it completely alienated me from the series to have to buy multiple handheld consoles and games. And I know I'm not the only one.
