Still buying it.

I knew from the start it wouldn't be as good as a main series, like Tales of Vesperia. However, I highly doubt it isn't worth the pricetag - I mean, it's $37 on Amazon. Also, I'm dying to have a console RPG (I don't have a 360), so this will have to suffice!

As for IGN being biased, not so sure. It's possible they intentionally picked the wrong guy to review the game, but that might be pushing it. They gave Tales of Vesperia (likely a much better game) only an 8.2, and JRPG's score lower for them in general, so it isn't so far off... subtract another ~0.5 due to the guy's tastes, and 6.7 makes sense.

JRPGs seems to have trouble getting AAA scores unless it is a main FF game. Not sure why though? FPSs can get away with being linear but JRPGs can't.
