You think any of those JRPG's actually deserve a 90+ average?... |
Compared to what? I think, of those 25 JRPGs I listed (I have a list of about 50 from this generation ranging from 56% to 88%) many of them deserved higher scores - especially the bulk of those in the 70-80%.
I don't know if any JRPGs thus far should of earned a solid 90% average. But from the ones I've played - Tales of Vesperia comes very well close to what would be a very solid, polished, great experience of an RPG. Reviewers agreed that it was the best of the series, and a very good game. Yet slashed points so severely, it doesn't even match up with half of the Tales series!
For example, the following PS2 RPGs are higher rated than ANY next-gen console RPG:
- Final Fantasy X, X-2, XI, XII
- Kingdom Hearts I, II
- DQVIII
- Dark Cloud 2
- Persona 3, FES
- Shadow Hearts: Covenant
- Suikoden III
And the cutoff is there due to VC - take VC out, and there's another 5-8 RPGs before ToV shows up on the list. And that's 1 system.

Compared to the WRPG's, duh.
I mean, you made the comparison in your OP, I thought it'd be obvious :P
The problem is, JRPG's this gen just haven't been that great. You can expect KH3, FFXIII and Versus, DQIX, Star Ocean 4, Persona 4, Star Ocean The Last Hope and White Knight Chronicles to get plenty of critical success.
