I think the problem is that everyone expected this game to be the best one in the series. I mean, it got a 40/40 in that famous game magazine in Japan, and the graphics were the best yet.
So I don't blame people for being upset that this game wasn't everything they thought it would be. The battle system sucked, the pace of the narrative was **, and there was no love story--which, mind you, I have no problem with, but a lot of folks are upset by it.
I thought the game was decent. Overall, I'd rank it lower than VII and X, but it was better than VIII in every respect, and I liked VIII. Wasn't bad, just wasn't balls-out great.
