FF began to suck balls?

Why?
Have you played XII and XIII to the end?
I actually found XII to be a good game - yes, okay, the story was a bit complicated and Vaan wasn't a good protagonist. (He wasn't the protagonist, if you ask me, but well...) But the characters were interesting, the battle system was very good (IF you liked it - most people doesn't, it seemed ^^") and the story was getting more interesting the further you went. PLUS I really loved all the locations you went to and were able to go to - there was so much to do. Compared to, for example, FFVIII, I liked XII more. (It even is my 3rd favorite :>)
And XIII was good as well, if you liked X. I think they're quite similar. Party has to fight against their destiny and can't win if they don't give their lives for it. (Okay, that was the short version, the game's actually WAY better ^^")

I don't want to say that you're wrong - I'd just like to know if people who claim that "after *insert favorite FF* FF began to suck balls" have even played the following games. And I'd really like to know WHY.

*laughs*
Well, I have played FF12 and mastered it (every weapon, all bosses, all dragons den thingy), but, it just, I think it was the colors and the main character. I am not fond of blue and orange together, it actually to me reduced the appearance of characters and created a dusty fantasy. The story confused me but eh lol, most did.

FF13, well... If by any other name... lol

It was tooooo linear, and gave you no control until pulse. All the monster were literally rehashes, there were like 37 enemies in all? The rest were color swaps, you would think a ps3 game could create more haha, or was it cause of the dreaded XBOX ToT

Lightning, her personality was... bitchy... toooo bitchy to even like unless you were a girl, I kinda switched her with fang later in. And hope too, I HATED HIM, he has the lowest hp and it showed. Ishimal subjecator... I died cause of Hope... >.>

Really? Hope is ALWAYS in my team. Lightning, Fang and Hope is the team I use, and I find that I can take down pretty much anything now. If you put some HP items and jack up his magic stat, Hope can be the most valuable member of your team.

He was too weak, and his magic stat was comparable to Vanille, so I chose her instead. I liked sahz too but he was a bleh character in terms of stats to everyone else so I chose snow instead of him.
But hope, playing as a 15 yr old boy reduced his overall attire for power.
Confusing haha
