Xenoblade is imo waaay better.

Seriously?

This is what you said in another thread: "Sony is run by a bunch of monkeys. How could they created something as bad as ps3? this post has been moderated by axumblade. ..."

Why do you do this?

Just ignore.

First, I doubt you even played Ni No Kuni to even have a valid opinion on the matter and second, who cares? This isn't a comparison thread.

dont read reviews but whats up with difficulty? Is it challenging?

This could be another critically acclaimed game. Anyway, it got the gold award from gamesmaster and a final score of 95%. nice! Maybe it will have a metacrtic above 90

From the reviews it seems that the difficulty ramps up when facing bosses. It was enough to frustrate the GameInformer reviewer to the point where the game got a 7/10. Says she "cursed at a few cheap boss battles".

It was also evident that she didn't play long though if you read the review. Maybe she couldn't handle it.

Thats a major plus in my book. I tired of easy JRPG's. I wanna cuss and scream at bosses

I was hyped about this game before, but now my hype level has gone OVER 9000!!!!

After reading the reviews I really can't wait to play this game. Hope to get it soon.

8.2 is a great score. I don't know Vesperia, but even if it's a legit 10/10, you shouldn't hold a grudge over a single game. Anyway, 8.2 is three points above the game's Metascore, so IGN graded it higher than most.

FFXIII -- 8.9
FFXIII-2 -- 8.0
Xenoblade -- 9.0
The Last Story -- 8.5
Pokémon Black & White -- 9.0
Pokémon Black 2 & White 2 -- 9.6
The World Ends With You -- 9.0
SMT: Devil Survivor -- 8.7
Valkyria Chronicles -- 9.0
Dragon Quest V -- 8.9
Folklore -- 9.0
Radiant Historia -- 8.5
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time -- 9.0
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story -- 9.5

IGN scored many other JRPGs with an 8 or higher this generation. I see no overwhelming bias against the genre in their reviews. If there is a lack of 9.5-10s, maybe it's because this wasn't the best generation ever for the JRPG as a whole.
