I will give you the benefit of the doubt. Since FFX came out (not counting offshoots like crystal chronicles or theatherythm) I have bought and tried : X, X2, XIII. I have bought and not tried : XI XII XIII-2. I will say that XII has a special place in my heart regardless: Its the exact day my first child was born. I have the full size store standee, the steelbook version of the game with the hardback guide. I am going to give it a try as my next game just to see how it really is.
