Liking characters is fine. I don't place such high a priority on that that it prevents me from liking a game as a whole or otherwise ignoring larger flaws.
You're right about that. But I think that would only really apply to me if I thought that FF VIII, and XIII are perfect, but I don't I think they have very large problems, but between the gameplay and the story/characters hooking me in I enjoyed the games much more.
Where as VI it doesn't feel special to me, I think it has good qualities for sure, but everything it does well I find other games do as well with more things that I find enjoyable so I stick with them.
Also I never once called FF VI, CT, IX, and DQ VIII bad games, I would never say that about these titles I just don't like them.
