Primarily on the internet though. FFXIII is a different story and the internet hate probably more inline with the mainstream (how often do you hear people say they loved FFXIII, not liked, loved), but I heard lots of great things from people who played FF8 when it came out. I'm more inclined to believe the mainstream have a lot of love for FF8. |
Meh, in my experience it is pretty much the opposite. I find way more people that like it on the internet then in real life. I worked at a GameStop when that game came out and had plenty of conversations with people about it. It seems like now the Internet is full of nostalgia enthusiasts when the subject of this game comes up, but at the time it came out... It definitely didn't appeal to most people... At least that I talked to...
I think it just appeals to a different audience. I loved 7 and 10 and I thought 9 and 12 were ok, but I hated 8.
