Scorewise, to be perfectly honest, I believe it all comes down to how it runs technically. TLR is a fantastic game from what I heard, but it got smashed by critics thanks to huge technical problems with the review copies.

 

it was also included in retail copies.

on topic, i think star ocean is the biggest so far jrpg thats gonna be released hype wise.

sites like famitsu will give it 38/40 - 39/40 anyways simply because of brand.

in western reviews i can see it getting a lot of 9`s many 8`s and a few 7`s i dont think it will go below that.

overall id say it will trundle in at about 8.8 in scores and lifetime sales should be 700k+ LO is only where its at because of mass unnoficial bundling, at the time when i bought my last 360 in the uk, nearly everywhere it came with a copy of LO.

if SO4 is mass bundled after initial sales, you may see it creep over a million easily.
