I think every FF has a fanbase that both despises it or loves it, I don't think there's a consensual opinion about any FF.
...unless we're talking about FFIII for the NES which is probably regarded as the worst FF amongst FF fans

Isn't that FFII?
apparently it was received so badly the gameplay guy was banished from the series.
|
FFII had the same rifts between fanbase, but ultimately, the complaining side eventually overcome those who actually enjoyed it (the battle system and the growth system was pretty good, a solid mixture of both JRPG and WRPG mechanics).
FFIII on the other hand, didn't have anything particularly likable about it. Even the Job system was poorly executed. Thankfully for the DS remake, they did a massive overhaul of the game.

I actually didn't mind III that much, with the DS remake, as long as you remember it's a remake of a NES game, you will probably think that it's pretty good. The same also goes with Dragon Quest IV and Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon.
Final Fantasy XI on the other hand...

Yup, the remake was leagues above the original NES game in every department. They even managed to make more sense out of the whole story.
FFXI also created rifts between those FF fans that were willing to take on a MMORPG experience in the FF universe and those who are content enough in the SP experience. Since i'm not a MMORPG fan, it's not a FF game that I've played nor will I play FFXIV as well. But from the people I know that have played FFXI, they seemed to enjoy it.
