Actually, I don't think people bash VIII because it's too difficult, I think it's because everybody and their Mom loves VII and most people think it's the best thing since sliced bread. Thus VIII was highly anticipated, and failed to match people's expectations.
I personally didn't like VIII because I didn't think it was that great of a game. Final Fantasy VI is my favorite game of all time and that sets the bar for me.
Also, people have different tastes.
