And what do you know about the japanese reception? the famitsu score?? Because there are a bunch of othr sites in japan where the game has been highly praised, and if you go by sales or famitsu, I let you know that XC was only 2 points above (34 vs 36) and it sold about the same on a console with way more sales, so you are getting the "japanese reception" out of your ass, with this japanese reception the previous one had a 92.

I would assume by Japanese Reception he's talking about user scores such as these: 

http://www.amazon.co.jp/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/376-5743841-6725449?__mk_ja_JP=%E3%82%AB%E3%82%BF%E3%82%AB%E3%83%8A&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Xenoblade

with XCX getting 3 and a half stars compared to XC's 4 and a half.  I don't personally put much weight in user reviews but I figure if one is going to talk about general consumer reception this is one of the few metrics.  

Devil's Third must be one good game then.

Probably FF fanboys scoring the game down.

Yes and they all hate until dawn

I don't see any reason that FF Fanboys would be more of a problem now than they were for the previous Xenoblade.  

I'm not saying that this means XCXis worse than XC but in the discussion of "Will XCX score as high as XC?" and people are saying that there's no question that it will score above a 9, I think there are reasonable points to be made that it might not.  

 I agree with you, and my personal prediction for the game is an 88, wich is a very good score, but there is some people that is too sure about the game not being able to reach 90 or more than low 80´s just because they have seen that it has worse scores than the original on places  so reliable like Amazon.jp or Famitsu... that´s not really a good clue of what the critic performance in the west will be.
