As many people have said, the franchise name still has alot of power, its also such an important franchise that regardless of reviews people buy it, wanting to experience it for themselves. Most reviews could have awarded it a 6, but i'm a huge FF fan and would have bought it anyway if i thought it looked decent. And as you mentioned; most reviews were good (8 upwards) and although and 8 isn't the standard previous titles have set, its not low enough to deter fans, especially since its one of the only decent JRPGs of this gen.
As for the "haters" being louder the rest, I'm someone who enjoyed game but left with an overwhelming sense of disappointment, i think this is the general consensus amongst most fans. Naturally is comes across as one sided on the forums and comments, as people are always more compelled to talk about what they disliked especially with a franchise so close to the heart.
