Yes, Im sure lots of games get that extra few points just for who made it. It is rather annoying. However, you can just say hey that is a really popular company. I wonder if this game is even worth it. Hold off a little bit on buying it and ask a couple friends what they thought. AT least that is what I do.
I agree that ff XII did not deserve any high scores. I really enjoyed ffX-2 though. Probably more then FF-10 itself.
