Are you calling JRPG fans retarded? The "real" gaming sites are the only ones I trust for JRPG reviews, Famitsu live by moneyhats and hype but Dengeki are very good. |
I use normal sites fine for pretty much every other genre. But JRPG's are a taste which many reviewers in the mainstream dont have. I wouldnt use for instance IGN or Gamespot for JRPG reviews if someone paid me.
But specialist sites like RPGgamer and RPGfan are reviewed by people who live and breath RPG's. RPG's need to be reviewed by people who obsess with them. They arent scared to say which FF games for instance are plain crap. The mainstream are bombarded with FF this and FF that. Honestly there is so much more to RPG gaming than FF.
IMO after 12 attempts it goes like this.
FF6 = 10/10
FF7 FF2 FF9 = 9/10
FF8 = 8/10
FF1 FF3 FF10 = 7/10
FF4 FF12 = 6/10
FF 5 = 4/10
FF11 = 3/10.
