FF is FF, it sold because of brand recognition. I bought it and I thought it was OK. I platinumed it in 72h, because I played at night while I was listening to the radio. I like listening to sports programs while I play something mindless (so I don't have to follow the story and the program at once), just because I can't just listen to the radio doing nothing.. FFXIII was good for this.
But I have to admit the game's story (or its execution, the idea was quite good) was quite lame, and the linearity too much. I mean, a linear story is one thing. But linear levels (corridors) is too much. Also, no sidequests or minigames.
And I agree this will have an impact on future games, starting no doubt with FFXIII-2.
No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.
