So I know ff13 gets a lot of crtique backlash in the same way that something like 7 gets hype backlash. It seems enough time has passed that people have started saying ff13 is 'not that bad' or even 'pretty good'. This is because people have returned to the series with fresh eyes and have an immediate desire to go against the popular opinion especially in a series as old and well known as FF.

I'm sort of cheating here because I dont have the energy to detail all the problems with ff13 in one post. But I came across this video series critiquing every element of the game and if you are interested in this debate and dont mind long-form videos then maybe have a look.
