Watched the Gamespot review, and it definitely looks like they wanted to give it a 95% since they had so little to say that was wrong. It almost sounds like a perfect jRPG from that review.

Unfortunately, public bias comes into play on the reviews of these games. I think they are afraid of the repercussions that would result if they gave it the score it deserves. 90% of the public in the West won't touch a cel-shaded jRPG. If they say it's as good as Gears, Mass Effect, MGS, or FF, they will get a bunch of angry people that bought it on review that simply don't like the genre. That's my opinion of the issue.

You bring up some good points, that likely behind rating some games.
As long as fans bear this in mind, reviews don't go to waste.
