What kills me is ive seen people imply they wouldnt have disliked the game had it not been a mainline entry. Like really? The words on the cover is that important?

Maybe it's less about the game itself and more about how it causes them to view the company as a whole... which, in turn, changes how they view the game.

I mean, I'm still resentful on some level that they pulled marketing bullshit and called their Final Fantasy MMO "Final Fantasy 11" in the hopes of tricking people into buying it (something Blizzard shied away from when they created WoW - hence why it wasn't just Warcraft 4). I could see how that resentment might cause people to judge FFXI (or even future games) more negatively because of it.

That being said, it didn't affect my feelings on future games as much as it might have, because I feel like shortly after FFX is when the franchise and the company dove head-first into a sewer and never crawled out again. That, combined with my dwindling interest in JRPGs in general, sort of killed any interest I had or might have had for future FF games. At this point, the series has been dead to me for about 12 years.
