When Mistwalker has a game that gets above a 9 their fans will have room to talk, but Blue Dragon on 360 was a 7.8 and Lost Odyssey was an 8.2 quite off the pace of most Square games (Chrono Cross 9.7, Vagrant Story 9.6, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy X-2, and Final Fantasy XII all got 9.5s)

You're right, because what people enjoy should take a backseat to meaningless internet reviews.  Final Fantasy VII bored me to tears and came very near to putting me off the franchise altogether. The only saving grace FF has had, to me, in the CD era is FF9, which I notice didn't make your list.   All the capital they built up with 9 was dashed to pieces by 12.

I guess I had no right to even post this, though, because some anonymous internet reviewer has different taste than I do.  Regardless of bullshit metacritic scores, though, I'll take "I'll never give up, Landshark!" over "Waaaah Cloud waaah Sephiroth qqqqqqq" any day of the week.

 

I give your post a 2/10.
