People are also claiming the author hated Xenoblade, but that's still repeated.

People don't often read full threads (not a VGC thing), so clarifications made after the fact often go missed. That's how joke threads are successful. I believe your work for NTH should have shown that.

I don't see how disliking the first title has any barring on this discussion. It's only being used by apologists to combat negative feedback by one person. I dislike Xenosaga II's combat. Did that stop me from loving Xenosaga III? No it didn't.

In addition, I also did some further research. It's been stated in many forums the plot is shorter with twelve narrative missions.

I'll be back in this thread at launch with a post. It might be to apologize or it'll be to throw this in peoples face. I'm sorry but the word of one person doesn't outdo that of many.

Well, I don't disagree that disliking a previous entry will disqualify you from offering valid critique or praise. i think there some creditability to the argument that if someone really dislikes something, then they should not be the one to review it. Someone who hates JRPGs should not be tasked with reviewing Persona 5. Someone who hates the NFL should not be asked to review Madden 16.
