People seem to mostly be rating games by the scores they would give them, rather than the scores reviewers will give them. I can't wait for Valkyria Chronicles, but given the Western reviewer bias against JRPGs there's no way it's pulling above 85% unless it changes its name to "Final Fantasy XIII" since reviewers are all over the nuts of main series Final Fantasy games, regardless of the actual quality.

There is no actual bias against JRPGs.  It is just that most JRPGs have some flaws that most developers aren't even trying to fix.  For example, 90% of JRPGs use the same "teens save the world" story which isn't necessarily a bad thing but it is getting old and tiring.  If previews are anything to go by, Valkyria Chronicles has a shot at getting 90% on gamerankings and metacritic and at being a cult classic like ICO, Shadow of the Colossus, and Beyond Good and Evil.

Every single site that tried it is speaking wonders. Let me give you examples

Gamespot:

Please allow us a moment of editorializing before we get to the meat of this preview: LittleBigPlanet is awesome. There--now that we've got that out of our system, we can move on and try to describe what developer Media Molecule was showing off of their fascinating adventure/creation game here at E3 2007. The demo presented at the Sony media HQ showed off a number of different aspects of LBP that look to comprise a game that is both big on charm and fully dedicated to making each player's experience unique.

 

IGN:

The best thing about this entire process, though, is that you can build entire worlds populated with funny gadgets and obstacles in minutes. LittleBigPlanet is one of those rare examples of finding something that really is limited only by your imagination. Expect plenty of awards for this one in '08.

 

1UP:

This E3 properly justified the volume of hype that Little Big Planet had amassed since its startling debut at 2007?s Game Developers Conference. As a toolkit for wannabe game designers, it offers an elegant interface packed with depth and expandability. This fall, meeting up with your online buddies to make games will be all the rage. But don?t overlook LBP?s innate appeal as a game you simply want to play.

 

Eurogamer

It's going to be fascinating to watch LittleBigPlanet go head to head with that other poster-boy for the community-creation age, Spore, when they both release this September. Spore might be more successful by virtue of its platform and pedigree, but at the moment, the PS3 game looks the more coherent, consistent, easy to grasp, rewarding and just plain lovable. It may not be the biggest PS3 release this year, but one thing's for sure, it's absolutely the most important.

 

It IS a fantastic title, without a doubt, and will receive plenty of 10s

You guys are setting Valkyria Chronicles a little too low. Especially since previews are saying it is the best RPG that Sega released in a decade or something like that.

Valkyria Chronicles.....88%-90%
Little Big Planet......90%
Socom Confrontation....85%

Have sega released any RPGs in a decade outside of really disapointing "Shining" spinoffs? SRPGS almost never review ell.



Also LBP should score really well. It's a "make your own" genre game. Which is a genre you don't see much outside of PC. So everybody should love it.

Games like that everyone loves the first time they play it for the first few days or so in which they rate them.

Then the uncreative and lazy lose interest when they realize they are making the same few levels over and over again without doing anything new... giving way to a small portion of really inventive people who do really great things with it.

I want to see more of LBPs editors myself.. like if they allow for timed events, triggers when you walk somewhere etc... if it doesn't allow event triggers it's a step backwords from a lot of games i've played.

That shouldn't effect reviews at all unless it's from an expert in the genre.

Yeah they did and it was critically acclaimed.  It was called Skies of Arcadia.  Quite a few SRPGs are rated well.  Final Fantasy Tactics(all of them), Fire Emblem(all of them), Jeanne d'Arc etc.
