Possible that it will drop more....Lucky it is not a PS3 exclusive anymore =p.

if it was an exclusive I'd bet it would be at 93 right now

anyways, if Nintendo games are to go by 84 might just mean best game in the series ever

so true....if it was PS3 exclusive it would be a 93 and the hype on VGC would be a billion times more. It's actually quite pathetic that the media has such sad biases.

Really, the PS3 has 19 games with a 90 or above, just 6 are exclusives.

This. I don't think if it was exclusive it would have gotten any higher. I think the reason for it being loew is that it's releasing very late in the gen for a "first" Final Fantasy and isn't bringing much new compared to older games in the series or genre... at least from what I've read. The huge spate of quality WRPGs may also have made some reviewers make comparisons where the lack of innovation may stick out and docked points accordingly. The linearity at the beginning might also make some reviewers lower the score.

Either way, I'm still getting it., lol. I will say I'm looking forward to finding out more on Vs XIII now as a lot of the info released on XIII hasn't got me very excited. Hopefully when I play the game with my currently low expectations it'll blow me away instead.
