Hold my beer

I have never played a single FF game, but I bought this on sale, and ended up playing 3 hours straight. I understand that old fans didn't like this at all. So what's the consensus? Is it a more dumbed down game aimed at casuals concerning the franchise like me, or is it just a bad game? If I liked this, will I like FF 13 too (I remember seeing it everywhere back in the day)?

I've always been a fan of the general technomagick aesthetic, but turn-based JRPGs intimidated me, so I never gave FF a shot.
