FFXIII doesn't deserve a 9+ score by any means.

Great story, solid voice acting, excellent battle system, beautiful graphics, amazing soundtrack...yeah doesn't sound like a 9+ to me either

Bad voice-acting (though this isn´t the fault of the team that did make it), bad writing, no towns, no interaction with the world and you can´t talk to the NPCs. Great graphics and a good battle-system though, but that´s about it.

I also recently finished Star Ocean International and I think that's a better game than FFXIII, and that one is also far from perfect.

Seriously? I hated Star Ocean 4 (I only have a 360 mind you, but I don't think voice differences will change the game much) but my wife loved it.

This is dissapointing, and honestly if It didn't have the Final Fantasy name I'd imagine the scores would be even worst. I'm getting my copy of FFXIII today or tommorow (waiting on Amazon, got it for $45 after credit and pre-order savings) but it looks like Lost Odyssey and TOV are still the better game?

The Japanese VA makes it a better game, but if you didn´t the like the original this one obviously won´t change your opinion.
