I think FFXII is good on its own merits and not because FFXIII sucked and made it look good, that's a pretty bad reason to suddenly start liking a game. |
My point isn't that people enjoy XII because XIII is worse. My point is that they reserve their negativity for XIII and when they revisit XII they are more open to the game because a lot of the faults they had with it no longer overshadow the good things about the game. Basically there is less hyperbole when looking at XII. This likely wouldn't be the case if XIII were a better game because then XII would constantly be compared to the better XIII.
