Not so white knight, not so.  Polygon have persona 4 a JRPG a 10 and Xenoblade X a 7.  The game looked less promising every trailer so I don't know why anyone would expect any less.  People just wanted it to be better than FFXV and got too caught up in the hype

Adding to that, I think we should definitely wait and see what score MetaCritic gives Persona 5 to make a judgment about whether or not Western outlets are biased against JRPGs. I will be holding the game up to extremely high standards (basically, if it isn't the greatest game ever created, I will be disappointed), and if it meets my standards but still gets a sub-90 score, I think we can say that MetaCritic is biased.

Persona looks promising from the trailers and more amazing than any RPG since Xenogears.  I doubt it will get below a 90 even if it fails to meet my expectations.  That franchise is loved by outlets.  Polygon gave the last of broken AI a 7 and persona 4 golden a 10 so we'll see.
