Haha, yeah, I actually think we've spoken on Michi's plurks before!
And in all fairness, I can totally see why the DoC hate happens, even though I like it okay. For me, it doesn't feel like the world build changed a whole lot, it just got updated to the post-FF8 (and FF10) style. Crisis Core shows it a lot better, because it's set pre-Meteor, so you don't get any of the major alterations from AC and DoC...
I also had a pretty long conversation with a friend a while back over how I actually like Lucrecia because they made her such a flawed character who made terrible life choices, lmao. Like, if you just look at FF7 itself she's almost too perfect and sympathetic. DoC really deconstructs that, but doesn't make her a bad person, just someone with really horrible judgment... who made a lot of mistakes. And didn't realize it until it was way too late. I still feel bad for her, but she's not wholly innocent, either.
But now I'm rambling, oops. /also played Lucrecia once upon a time...
