If you want negativity all you only need to look at any gaming forum, since that is where most congregate. Though I never judge a game based on what I see, since everyone is out for something different. All I can say is, don't judge yourself for playing a game someone else doesn't like. Play it and invest time in it if it is fun for you, since that is what games are all about really and the Final Fantasy series in particular has its own fair share of what people think is best and worst. Just ask the general populace here what is the best Final Fantasy, and you are bound to get a dozen opinions. But that is what they are, opinions.

But as to being attracted to negativity. Just blame it on the regular news :P They only look for negativity in the world too, since for some reason that is what most people are interested in.
