Are reviewers afraid of fanboys?

I suspect Last Remnant and Infinite Undiscovery would get better reviews if they were almost exactly the same but were part of the FF series.

Have you even played either of the two games you mentioned? I'm sure most who have would notice a marked difference in quality when compared to any FF game (for their time).

Although, I'm sure you're right in some cases and that some would actually rate it higher based on the name, most wouldn't, as evidenced by people, reviewers included, having no trouble blasting Mystic Quest when it came out.

User scores also oppose your hypothesis on just about any site you can find.

 

 

I meant to type "main FF series". And neither of those games were advertized as RPGs for beginners, so that is not a proper point for this.

As for Mystic Quest, I find it's not a bad RPG. I actually learned how to play RPGs from that, and even was able to take on Final Fantasy 1 on the NES thanks to that game

It just got bashed by RPG veterans, which makes about as much sense as bike enthusiasts reviewing bikes with training wheels. But then again, that's what the Wii games are getting. The reviews can't wrap their heads around starter games, which is what Wii Fit, Wii Sports, and Mystic Quest all are.

So, have you played either IU or TLR? If not, go by user scores if you'd like, neither compare to any main FF game.
