Well I am not comparing it with FFX on PS2 that one scored higher I am comparing it to a port from a few years ago that scored alright for being outdated (yeah voice acting is awkard at moments but still I was so impressed by it on PS2 because it is one of the first JRPG's that had voiced characters).   

Well I am not a 3DS fan but I would not be surprised that the game ends up being in the top must haves for 3DS. 

Even so, that's still a weird train logic to have. "This entirely different game in concept, gameplay and characters that got a port scored the same!". Even if they bear the same name, they're different games, so I don't see why the score of an updated FFX port should be of any reference. As I said, no Final Fantasy will ever beat FF IX's metacritic score of 96 (or 94, can't remember now), but that doesn't mean all FF games onwards fail for some reason just because they didn't grasp that score. That's not how it works, or at least how I perceive it shouldn't work at all.

Yep, Final Fantasy X and XV, though they share some similiarities, are not very similar. So I don't think that comparison is fair. What's more, metascores are totally irrelevant, the only thing that matters is your own personal taste. I've played highly acclaimed games which haven't enjoyed at all (Skyrim for example), and games with mixed reception like FFXIII-2 were pretty good. So I don't see why I should care at all xD.
