This is one of the few forums I've seen that the amount of people who disagree with those people outnumber the ones that do. More so overrated just because I feel that such a BAD love story is being hyped up. I mean if a good lovestory was reacted to like that, sure it'd be overrated but not by much. But the FFVIII lovestory is incredibly forced, and therefore incredibly overhyped.

As for FFXII, I want to give that more time to see what kind of fans it gets before I can really know where it fits in. (From what I've seen it actually gets a lot more 'ZOMG STAR WARS' or 'ZOMG BORING BRING BACK ATB' then praise)

EDIT: As for FFVII fans disliking it, from what I've seen there's also a lot of others that basically say, "HAHA! FUTURISTIC IS AWESOME! ALL OTHERS OTHER THEN FFVIII AND FFVII SUCK BECAUSE THEY AREN'T FUTURISTIC ".
I just thought that XII was incredibly overrated, but by the media, not the fans. The reviewers and critics in the gaming media were like: "OH JESUS BALLS YOU MUST BUY THIS GAME IF YOU DON'T YOUR HEAD WILL EXPLODE INTO XII PIECES YAY NO RANDOM BATTLES AND YOUR CRAPPY BATTLE SYSTEM IS GONE." While much of the fan base was "meh, this isn't so great. It's just a pretty game to look at," or "this isn't really much of Final Fantasy" or "wow, a game that plays itself? I paid $60 for this?" (That last one is mine. A little of the second, too.)
