People are calling doom and gloom on the series for abandoning most of what made the series what it is. But XIII is the only one that dumbed it down. FF XII is as hardcore a FF as can be. You may not dig how the battles flow, but from a strategy point of view, XII is unmatched so far. The exploration is a bit overdone (even if there are no "world map exploration", and the leveling system allows you to create what you want of your characters (even if with a bit of leveling up, all characters end up being roughly the same)...
So yeah, people generalize about the series just because XIII was sub-par compared to what came before. But I don't see how the series is going downhill and getting worse. It's only one game, the last one, that did a lot of things wrong.
