Scores usually drop after the first few batches, so it might even go as low as 82-83.

It will fall a lot.

The 25 reviews we have now are probably the more high scored for reasons. Prepare to see some yellows reviews for the 75 others reviews to come.

Are you thinking the same thing I thinking?

an 86 is "great". 90-95 is exceptional. 95+ is masterpiece.

86 is better than good. 

That's your interpretation of those score values. To elaborate my view a bit more, I think that for the next big installment of a series the size of Final Fantasy, after a decade of development, 86 is not great. It's good, but it could and probably should have been better.

actually it is not. I gave the official designations for those scores. 

Your personal standard may be different, but 86 is a "great" score. 

I would have liked FF to be more around 90. 92 is kinda the ceiling on a FF game, FF7, FF10, FF12 all had 92s, and reviewers are more harsh now than before (which is why a 75 is now green on meta where as even last gen it was yellow). 



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

I don't really care what's 'official' because it's still someone's interpretation. Besides, it not being great was my personal opinion, not a reflection on some arbitrary standards.

I agree with your last paragraph. Personally I'd have liked this to be even more than 90 (probably at least 93), but what can you do.

Good score in the end but there is really nothing that looks "attractive" in terms of art style to me.
Perhaps I'll get it when it's cheap.

It's really ridiculous how people will consider a score between 80 and 85 as low. As if all games had to be 95 to be considered good.
-___-

8 out of 10 is still a really good score. 

But I suspect Ruler scored the game 10 out of 10 before he even played a second of it. 

Why shouldnt it be 10/10? its the AAA JRPG this gen the only one of its genre. I played the game, the Platinum Demo, Episode Duscae and the Judgement  Demo thats more than enough

You haven't "played the game" if all you did is play the demos. And I doubt you already finished the game. 

In any case, you pretty much confirmed what I thought. You're blindly giving the game a 10 because you were sold on it before it was even a thing.

These western reviewers gave Overwatch a 10/10, a 4 GB game for 70€ rigged with microtransactions. What is the better product? This or FFXV for 65€, 50+ GB content with much much better graphics imo? Its also the only JRPG that is AAA.

 

And Gamespot and IGN are counted higher which is unfair, Famitsu wont be allowed to give their score because they are Japanese how is Metacritic really fair?

As a huge Final Fantasy fan who thought Overwatch was pretty boring when I played the free trial... I`d say that Overwatch is the better product, by far!

Knowing your style, you probably haven't even played FF XV yet.

I don't think this franchise will ever get back to the RPG royalty it was prior to FF13. At least not without entirely new blood that can truly revive it.
