Funny, you could have not said anything about FF14 and not had anyone argue with the statement.
Eh? I'd certainly argue with the statement if FF14 didn't exist. (Not sure that's what you meant, but it reads that way.)
While there have been a few games in the series that have inspired some rage from parts of the internet, FF14 feels like the first game objectively bad enough that the general gaming public will take notice.
Certainly the series' sales haven't suffered up to this point!
