Oh I found my answer from the Gamespot review:

"Time mechanic clashes with exploration, story, and progression"

:(

Yep as expected thanks to that mechanic - the game is exactly like Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter where it had exploration, Story and progression suffer as well.

The score of 7.0 makes sense for me.

Anyways, I'll get my copy of the game sometime later when it hits $20 :P.

I don't really see the problem of a time mechanic that gives you as much days as this one. You have plenty of time to do tons of things, and keep progressing on the story. Yes, you will be forced to New Game + if you want to discover EVERYTHING, but still, it gives you a lot to do before the countdown reachs zero! :P
