well I used Wikipedia who list the most significant reviewers like IGN, Gamespot, Edge, Famitsu, RPGFan, GamePro and a couple more.. so nice list you got there and very well posted my friend, but I think I have made my point clear, in Famitsu calling FFXII the best RPG of all time review-wise.. which I don't agree on.. but I did misread that GamePro also gave it a 5/5, but on a 5-scale things are a little different..

it's fine that you do agree with them. It doesn't dismiss the fact they are the most respectable reviewers in Japan.

 

Heck, I don't agree with SSBB reivew, but it doesn't mean I can't at least respect what other people say


No they aren't. Famitsu has a big reputation of giving high scores due to hype, fan service and advertisement. Honest reviews are not their forte.


Damn, beat me to it.

And this isn't just some conspiracy plot, they have actually gone out and said they do this.

-edit-

And I should say just because they're respected (because they are for some reason beyond me) doesn't make them credible for the reasons stated above.

-edit #2-

Actually, if they were credible they would show up on Gamerankings.  That right there shows you that Famitsu is fairly worthless in terms of their given score.
