You're completely right.

But if you see the patterns, most of the time, the hate for FF comes from the pre-3D FF fans. Heck, there are people in here that go around saying that FF ended with FF6.

Those kind of people won't ever be satysfied, even if S-E did a FF exactly like FF6, because they nothing will ever match up to their ideals.

As for FF popularity, that wouldn't be an issue, if it's own fans were as close together as almost all popular franchises fans are. You don't see Halo, Mario, Zelda, Dragon Quest, Gran Turismo getting so much flak from it's own fans as FF does. Because they can accept and enjoy whatever comes next in their beloved franchises.

In FF case, the contrary happens, each new FF gets hated because it didn't do all the things fans wanted, so it is worthless.

Yup & thats because FF fans are in different categories

every FF is different, each one has its fans

Its hard to give every FF fan the game they dream of

The problem is that those divisions on FF fans are created by them, not the games themselves. It's not like each new FF is made into an entire new genre. Pretty much every FF game follows the same differential evolution that Zelda games also go through. Yet you don't see OoT fans discarding the rest of Zelda games and bad-mouthing them, as FF fans do.
