The thing is if this game is going to have massive word of mouth like 7 had. Remember all the internet hate coming AFTER the release, it may be just a bad first reaction to innovation, but may be the definitive opinion.

The reaction in the west is very positive.

In Japan initial HATE may be strong, but it also got voted "best game ever" by famitsu magazine readers....so clearly the game isn't hated at all....its mostly vocal hate.

The world wide sales of FFXIII are awesome and FFXIII looks on track to best FFXII and hopefully get 6M+ sales.

The initial hate out of Japan from what I remember was mostlly from internet tralls living in Japan that hated the game anyway also. Also it still is annoying to hear people going on about SE downgrading FFXII because of the XBOX 360 when they did not there are still people that think the the Crystal Tools Engine is not the White Engine when SE said they renamed the White Engine Crystal Tools.
