Possible that it will drop more....Lucky it is not a PS3 exclusive anymore =p.

if it was an exclusive I'd bet it would be at 93 right now

anyways, if Nintendo games are to go by 84 might just mean best game in the series ever

so true....if it was PS3 exclusive it would be a 93 and the hype on VGC would be a billion times more. It's actually quite pathetic that the media has such sad biases.

I would hype it if it was Ps3 exclusive, really? It's just made by the team that made the worst FF, it's linear and doesn't have many towns (just like FFX) and Square has sacrificed a lot of the quality of FF titles just to streamline it and make it more popular. This would be the worst FF even if it was exclusive.

I don't get how not having enough towns is a such a bad thing. When I remember Final Fantasy IV, I think about how you get to climb Mt. Ordeals to become a paladin or how you take your quest to the moon, I don't say to myself "Boy, Fabul was such a great town!".

Actually to me the game felt alot like Gears of War.

I don't get it either. I think people just need reasons to hate on games.

It didn't feel that way to me at all. The auto-aim was far too prominent and the fighting was generally much easier than Gears on higher difficulty settings. Plus, the skill progression allowed the characters to fight very differently near the end. You didn't have to be a gun-based character if you didn't want to be one.

I didn't use auto-aim. But I was slightly disappointed on the skills in M.E.2. You only got like 3/4. Which was really lame.

You can't opt out of the auto-aim. It's there like Halo but far "stickier" on the enemy.

Wow, then I never noticed it lol. I could definitely notice it in the 1st and it irritated the hell out of me.

Makes you wonder... How high would FFXV be rated if it played like Mass Effect 2... Hmmm

It would be an outcast of the main series and would probably be rated a 7 or 8
