I don't care if people think I'm sick, stupid, or have poor taste

It's the closest thing to a mainstream RPG series there's ever been, SMcc. Though the Dragon Quest series has a fair claim to that fame too, in Japan if nowhere else. FF games rarely sell under a million copies; it's common for them to sell over 5 million copies lifetime.

 

Meh, think i'l give it a miss. I don't understand the hype for it, seems like eveyone on this site is getting it. Surely it isn't as epic as MGS4?

 It's really down to taste.  FF games don't usually have extremely deep plots, but they are good at having consistent (or at least easily followed) ones.  While many enthusiastic FF fans will argue that the story is the lure of the series, in reality, most of the lure comes from how each game is unique from each other game, and how the gameplay is usually pretty good too.  And for more recent games (all of the mainstay titles from FF8 onwards, in fact), they've always been on the cutting edge of graphics technology for the time of their release.
