@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).

Matsuno leaving had nothing to do with Vaan being included in FFXII.  Including Vaan was because they were afraid Japanese gamers would be turned off by "old" main characters which is the same reason why Raiden was the main character of MGS2 instead of Solid Snake.  As you can guess, Vagant Story's disappointing sales were a big factor in that decision.
