I think reviewers far too often review a game based on what they want and expect from it...
The JRPG genre has been for a couple years in the process of redefining itself to compete with other WRPGs and retain their uniqueness. Reviewers assess JRPGs as if they are trying to be a WRPG and not as a evolution of JRPG.
I have enjoyed this generations JRPGs. Most of the time the review scores are not matching the richness, longevity, and story telling the JRPGs offer.
