Yeah, quality is subjective for sure. I've been super disappointed in the past few, but I got into FF in the mid-2000s, starting with 4 and then going 7 -> 8 -> 12 -> 13 -> 10 -> 15. So our perspectives definitely differ.

I'd argue that a fraction of any decrease in quality of new installments might even be a side effect of resources (people, assets, time, etc.) being put in to nostalgia. I don't think nostalgia is inherently bad, as a harmless remaster like VIII got in 2019 was an already finished game. I think for nostalgia, they should go small and simple, not big and extravagant.
I definitely see where you're coming from, and can't fault you for seeing it that way, but I'm not sure how much it really applies here. 13 and 15 both came out before Square went in guns blazing with nostalgia. In fact, during the period between those two games, fans had been clamoring for a remake of some of the older games, especially 7. Square was dead-set against it, because they wanted to remain relevant and not get stuck in nostalgia. I think it's only been since the success of the 7 remake that they started looking backwards more.
I'm actually hoping that revisiting the older games gives a renewed sense of inspiration, resulting in a better end product. But I still have little faith in them these days.
