Will Xenoblade be the first/one of the few console JRPGs this gen to hit 90+?

lol. Well of course you'd say that when you know absolutely nothing about the game. You know the game is the highest rated RPG this gen on Japan's biggest user review site right with a 90% right?

User reviews, in Japan.

I am pretty sure that the metascore won't be as high.

It's fine if you think the game won't be as high on the metascore or gamerankings or whatever. But "It will be lucky to get over 80"? Are you serious? The game doesn't have anything holding it back to be "lucky" to get over 80. We can tell this from the reviews thus far, which are consistent, as well as MK2.

And I know you edited your post which included ToV. It's one example, but if you look at MK2, the user review average is a 78. ToV's Metacritic happens to be 79. Not that big of a difference, is it? And ToV, being an anime styled game, is probably going to be more appreciated in Japan.

There's no reason why Xenoblade will be wildly different. Usually when a game is very good, impressions aren't going to hugely vary.

It is also fine if I think that it will be lucky to get over 80 then, too?

Those are opinions of some jrpg-geeks in Japan, the same people who scored enchanted arms at 80 or something... Also the game looks like a ps2 game, it will be noted in western reviews.
