List of Highest Rated Tales Games from IGN
Tales of Destiny II -- 8.5 PS1
Tales of Symphonia -- 8.5 Gamecube
Tales of the Abyss -- 8.3 PS2
Tales of Vesperia -- 8.2 360 Is the best game in the entire franchise. 8.2 is a joke.
Tales of Legendia -- 7.7 PS2
List of Highest Rated Final Fantasies from IGN
Final Fantasy VII -- 9.5 -- PS1 Most overrated game of all time.
Final Fantasy X -- 9.5 -- PS2
Final Fantasy X-2 -- 9.5 -- PS2 Took the excellent setting of FFX and completey ruined it.
Final Fantasy XII -- 9.5 -- PS2 Excellent concept, awful exexcution
Final Fantasy IX -- 9.2 -- PS1
So, one can see that to even begin to compete Tales of Graces will have to better than the best Tales games Symphonia and Destiny II, but I still think if it manages to do that Graces will only wind up being a 9.0 at best. On the other hand, I think the PS3 version of FFXIII will be the first 10 game at IGN since GTA IV and MGS 4, so I defintely give the nod to FFXIII.

No matter what the quality of the game actually is, a mainline FF game almost never scores below a 9. FFIX and FFX are leagues ahead of VII,X-2, and XII yet they have the same score range.

Your opinion... though I agree with X-2.

True it's just my opinion, but flaws in Final Fantasy titles nearly always either glossed over or ignored by revierers. FFX was my favorite entry on PS2 and my favorite of the Nomura/Kitase based Final Fantasy titles. However I don't dismiss the fact that the game is extremely linear until right before the end. Tales of Vesperia, and Lost Odyssey for that matter, got screwed royally by Western reviewers. Hell, Valkyria Chronicles should have been scored higher as well. VC did all the things that western reviews complain that JRPGs don't do and it has Metacritc rating below FFX-2 WTF!?

Got some 8s. That shouldn't have averaged 8s. FFVIII was the worst game in the series since FFII NES. FFVIII is a prime example of games in the main series being overscored. Even amongst the FF faithful FFVIII is generally looked down upon.
