Oh great you've awakened the FF fanbase. They're all already as agitated as sex deprived apes because of the lack of FF15 this E3, now you've poked them with a stick and they're ready to bite. Even as a huge FF fan I believe it has the absolute worst game fanbase; with them hating on any iteration of the series they dont like. If you like 9 you hate 7, if you like 10 you hate 12, etc etc. It is a very hateful fanbase due to the series being very different every release.
Anyway, 10 is my fave FF but I dont hate 13. Nothing really wrong with it, talk to the average person who bought it they'll say they liked it, it is really only on the internet where you'll find the people who detest the FF13 series. People hate on 10 here too, but in reality it is probably the second most popular entry to the series only behind 7.
Both are linear, but one came before the other,
so it is slightly more excusable because it was new at the time. However, older FFs were pretty linear too, the only difference is that before we had the illusion of non-linearity because the map made it seem like we could go wherever.

I cannot speak for anyone else, but I have enjoyed every FF I have ever played EXCEPT FFXIII. It is not really a crowd thing, because I did not really roam the internet when I got FFXIII. My roommates first FF that he played was FFXIII. He hated it and thought all FF were bad because of it. Then he played FFVII. Which he did not hate but did not particularly enjoy. And now hes playing FFX and enjoying it.

 

@people saying the combat was the best part of FFXIII. I disagree as it was mostly Auto battle. The soundtrack was probably the best, even bad games can have a good soundtrack.
