It sold on name value alone. We won't realize the damage FFXIII did to the series until the next Final Fantasy flops.

Pretty much this. The days of people buying Final Fantasy main series games without thinking twice might very well be over.

Also, Mass Effect 2 is overrated, but it's just one example of the gaming media increasingly trying to push the agenda that Western games have become dramatically better than Japanese ones.

Thanks for that buddy. I actually had it in mind but didn't have the guts to write it! It's funny when you see that EVERY website picked
Skyrim as the best RPG of E3 like they all already discarded FFXIII-2 as a major RPG. But man, all those different sites, and they all have the same tastes! What's this world?
