@Montana - I guess we disagree on this one, it's a matter of taste I suppose.

But if the game had the name "Final Fantasy" it would be above 85 on metacritic right now.

Please stop this. Final Fantasy does not give extra points. I figured people would have shut up about that by time being that Persona 3 and 4 were rated just as highly.

I AM SICK OF IT too!

Persona 4 is proof that such mentality is wrong!

Seriously every Final Fantasy game has a polish other JRPG's can only have a wet dream about

& each one tries to push the formula in some way or another!!

Even FF12 which is "hated" by fans was adored by critics

@Luney Tune

FF12 was made by the FF Tactics team..

lets see how the traditions FF team do with FF13

so far its looking so positive!

Polish = Budget.

And FFXII, like GTAIV, proves that with enough hype a "fairly good" game can get amazing scores.

The problem with 12 was that the original producer, Matsuno, had to leave the team mid-production, and that's why we got Van as the main character, instead of Basch (Or Balthier, one of them was supposed to be the main character).

I know......its not S-E's fault other JRPG devs don't have such a large budget, its not the Reviewers fault either.....the reviewers review it & compare FF's to JRPG's with less polish.....FF wins out majorly there & does get higher scores, thats life.

Yeah matsuno leaving was a problem, but DESPITE that hurdle FF12 was still a highly rated game.

Thats speaks thousands of words to me about the franchise & its high quality which has been maintained throughout all numbered titles.
