Really, you're resorting to video games?

CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Final Fantasy X and X-2
Can anybody tell me why, exactly people hate on these games so much?  I love them, they are my second and third favorite in the series(right after FF 9) and they are so hated on.  X is hated on because of Tidus, mostly.  Some people say he is too emo, my reaction:  If you think he's emo I would hate to see your reaction to Cloud, Squall, or my cousin's blog.  Others say he is too hyper, my reaction:  A. he's and athlete, nuff said B. He's trying to be positive for Yuna and C.  he's blond.  A lot hate on the voice actors.  Me?  I could not imagine them any other way, the only exception is (besides being an awesome song by Paramore) one scene in X-2 where Yuna states that she is angry and she sounds . . . mildly annoyed at best and slightly disinterested at worst.  X is also hated on for being too long, my reaction:  if you think this is long check out FF 7 which takes like 75 hours to complete - not even 100% I think.  It's hated on for being too linear also X-2 is hated on for being too open, you just cannot win with these people. 
X-2 is hated on for it's story.  Personally I like its story, people are telling Yuna to move on and forget the person she loves because he's gone.  It's really about her not wanting to let go and let him be just a memory.  Plus, in fiction, I am a hopeless romantic.  (In life, not so much.  I have pretty cynical views on the subject of love)  Also, I just like Tidus ;) anyhoo.  It also  focuses on her feeling like she's done her part for Spira, but at the same time wanting to preserve the calm so may people died for. 
I should really start this essay that is due on Friday.  I don't want to at all.   I have TAKS tomorrow too, I mean how evil is my english teacher when she knows that we have ENGLISH TESTS WHERE WE HAVE TO WRITE AN ESSAY and then going and assigning us another freaking essay.  It is about why people need government and why/when should we break the law, or some such shit.  Honestly, I could really give a crap right now.  I have FREAKING FOR REAL TESTS TOMORROW!! ONES THAT COUNT TOWARD MY ENDING GRADE FOR THIS YEAR.  Good I got that out of my system.

Peace love and all that jazz
