You may well be more experiencing genre burn out more than a specific dislike of FF. I used to quite like jrpgs abd though the ffs weren't my favorite many times I did enjoy several and thought they were good entries in the genre (2,3,5,6,9). However as time went by and many were played I completely burnt out on the genre as a whole and now find any new one I've tried impenetrably boring.
Though that's not to say that personal taste doesn't also play a big role. I know DQ has many fans and I enjoyed the first three to a degree but every one I tried after felt like pulling teeth trying to get into it.
My philosophy is that I know there's not nearly enough time to play everything, or even everything I want so if a game isn't actively enjoyable on some level I drop it fast.
