If one can still call himself a Final Fantasy fan after XIII, then he will be raving with XIII-2 (aka not me) ;)
To answer your question - easily 2. And not just them, but the Sony fanbase on a majority basis.

How does one game suddendly destroys everything for a Final Fantasy fan? Suddendly, Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy VII dropped in quality or stopped being good games because FFXIII was a bad one? I'm proud to call myself a Final Fantasy fan, even though it's far from being my favourite RPG series and I will continue to enjoy FF games whenever they are of good quality.

Edit - I'm sorry if your intent wasn't on dissing the entire Final Fantasy legacy, but it came out across as that.

I still love the Final Fantasy games that I always loved. Most of the ones on your list, that is. However, I can not call myself a fan of FF anymore, as I'm beyond being giddy for a new FF being announced or a trailer being shown or preordering the game - all because I think FF13 is unholy trash and the biggest gaming disappointment of my life. Many share the first part of my feelings (trash), and many think that FF is on the ropes these days, as it, in my eyes, went from a franchise that you could buy without hearing any opinions or reading reviews (or as much as seeing footage), to a hit-or-miss affair, mostly miss. I will enjoy the good ones as well. I will just treat the series with extreme caution from now on. Extreme.

You know me and you know I know better than to trash the legacy of the whole series. But SE is doing it in my stead, and it's an endangered legacy.
