No, those are my personal scores. The Last Story was a huge letdown with only a few redeeming qualities.

In what way did TLS let you down? I've just gotten Xenoblade, haven't played much yet - but my gal likes it! I've just gotten my eyes opened regarding Pandoras, but haven't decided if I'm getting either TLS or Pandora...

A lot of framerate problems, a lacking story, a lack of colors, for the most part awful sidequests and in general a very short game for a JRPG. It should only take between 20-25 hours to complete and the 25 hours are assuming that you try to do all sidequests.

I would disagree with the framerate issues (never suffered them) and the story FTMP, but the other two issues are justified. The game also should have let you control your other characters and given you more 'skills'.

They should have removed the online and focused more on the actual game. By that I mean allow you to change your party and controlled character, another city with more side-quests, and add more colour. That should increase the length by 10-15 hours, bring it to a respectable, if still on the short-side, 35 hours. 

By doing that, a 7.9 game would go to 9.1 in my books.  But indtead they decided to do the 'in' thing and add online to widen its appeal. Sadly, it's made the game worse and has most likely hurt sales.

But how much of a traditional JRPG is it? Like turned based combat and stuff like that...? And how is it holding up against Xenoblade and Pandora, iyo?
