FF12 was one of my favorite FFs. The story was crap, but it was obvious that they didn't want the story to be the strongest point of the game. Most people that hate the game are the hardcore FF fans that don't like change in the series they play. FF12 was more about a huge immersive world and fun gameplay. I didn't even care about the story. I spent around 170 hours just doing random side stuff and leveling my characters.
I'm guessing they were aiming for more of a WRPG story. Look at Oblivion. It's characters and story are 10 times more boring than the story of FF12. But no, you don't see people hate on Oblivion because the story was crap. It's only FF12 just because it's an FF.
