Right now Final Fantasy XIII on the PS3 (with 19 reviews) has a 83.13%. Which makes it the worst reviewed (main line) Final Fantasy game (not including re-releases).

The 360 version has a 79.25% (with 8 reviews).

 

Does anyone agree that putting the 360 into the focus of development of this game was a bad idea?

I don't think the putting it on the 360 was the bad idea I think the problem is that with so many other final fantasy games out there plus rereleases since the last one reviewers are comiming into a game like ff13 expecting something and when it's not there they review it down for it.  Or they expect something they didn't like to be gone and if it's still there they'd lower the review for it as well.  Plus how many reviews did the other games get?  I'm sure there will be many more reviews of 13 than most the other main story initial realease final fantasys combined when all is said and done.  With a game like this I'm betting if it weren't called final fantasy and got rid of many of the expectation that wen't along with it it would have rewieved higher but would sell less. 


I will say that I personally believe that Final Fantasy has lost that "magic" it once had. We get 5 Final Fantasy titles released a year, at minimum.

All the ports and re releases. It may have affected a few reviewers opinions of XIII.

Although I also believe that many American reviewers are thinking about how much this game was chopped up.
