If you'd given this game to a person that had never before played a Final Fantasy and certainly hadn't read reviews and previews about this one, would the score be the same as yours?
I very much doubt it.
In my opinion you're being way to harsh on the scores, mind you, the game wasn't all that, but it certainly was somewhat entertaining to play and finish.
I don't know if I am the only one but there is something about your writing that makes me skip a lot of text. No offense, I personally find it hard to stay focused on your review. (nothing to do with your scores ;p)
