Nothing really different to what we have seen in japanese games from Square in the past tbh

We saw it and was hated/disliked like FFXIII or FFVIII, people prefer the Final Fantasy games where the Fantasy part is important.  FFIX had no realistic characters but that was totally fine because the Fantasy characters were great.  When you use realistic characters it gets harder to get into the fantasy. 

FF8 isn't as hated as people on the internet make it out to be.  If anything FF8 fans hardly ever post online comments.  Sort of like a large portion of the FF7 fanbase (as was clearly seen to be in hiding until the FF7 remake was announced, then BAM look at those comments on youtube).  The difference there is that a lot of hardcore FF fans like FF7 due to its standard battle and leveling system so you would still see a lot of love for FF7 even when the anti FF7 fans were around.
