I know, and as I said I believe they're just two ways of saying the same thing.  A movie with "lasting appeal" is one you will want to watch over and over, even after the visual effects are long outdated.  A cd with lasting appeal is one you will want to listen to even after it drops off the charts.  It means it will still appeal to you after the novelty of being new wears off. 

Saying something lasts a long time is not even close to the same as saying it has lasting appeal. 

Your second sentence makes no sense at all because it doesn't acount for the quality of those 60 hours.  If all but two are utter shit then it wouldn't metter how many it has total.  At the same time, if all 10 hours of a game are amazing then it is actually probable that I would want to replay it because I would know there is no filler material, especially in this age of alternate endings.

Shorter.

Well, this one's closer to the mark. Given what I've played of each (nearing the halfway mark in FF, at the two thirds mark in WKC), I think both FFXIII and WKC were underrated by about 10 points on average, going by Metacritic.  Low 70s for WK and low 90s for FF seems about right for me.

As for the text of the review, I agree with msot of it except for the bit about the soundtrack.  The score is absolutely superb!  Hamauzu did an outstanding job.

The score was okay not as amazing as FFX and FFXII.... a 9 for sound sounds right xD
The presentation is amazing for a JRPG the enviroment looks awesome..... a 9.5 is right xD
The lasting appeal is like the previous FF. But i think playing a single playthrough is enough....
The graphics should be a 10 the visuals are awesome and jaw-dropping. Should have 10.
The gameplay should get a 5 since its derivative and innovative at the same time.
Basically it gets old halfway through the game. Level design is EXTREMELY linear.
Otherwist the game is OK. 9.0 would be a better score.

Just got the game. Can't wait to play it. Won't have the impact FFX had on me but I will probably like it.
