I think the only reason why FFX is considered good is because everything that came after was so bad.

I rank it as good, but it was a step back from the ps1 era FFs.

??

This isnt Wind Waker where it becomes popular later. FFX was popular from day one so the new games had no influence.

Err...no. It was criticised since day one for beeing linear and slow paced, also doing away with the explorable world map and a combat system that wasnt as intricate  as previous entries.

 It is sort of like wind waker, because the criticism was forgotten with time as we got worse installments making it look better. 

Not to say the game wasnt popular, but for many it marked the beggining of the series downfall, and in a way i agree with that.

I dont disagree with some of its hate but those people didnt change their minds. The game is still the love/hate game it always was.

Also everyone who talks it down for linearity and then hates on FFXII sucks =P

Edit: and for the downfall of the series those sales held damn strong.
