Wired FFXII review, not so good.

1) Its bad that it is that linear, 20 hours into a game. If that trend continues, you wonder what kind of scores and sales XIII will garner.
2) The review is only 20hrs into the game. I simply cannot believe someone would review a JRPG prior to finishing the game. You just cannot do that in an RPG.

Bad like in FFX?  Aren't JRPG's mostly linear untill you are almost at the end of the game and can explore the world (the best part in any JRPG for me btw).

2)  I think most reviewers do that.  What is finishing anyway. Was finishing FFX storyline enough to give a good review of the game or must have done all the side quests aswell (that can take 150+ hours).
