How low can you go...

Going from +90 to +80 is a fall indeed, but you make it sound like anything below 90 is a trash bin.

6/10

See reviews like that should not be included in metrics intended to guage an items quality.  That's an ideological review, not a product review.  Assuming the whole review is like that.

And also,,who gives a crap about the gender or race of the lead cast if their struggles and development are focused on thigns common to all?  Camaraderie and brotherhood are things common to all, no?  Or are we saying women don't experience those things?

Theres so many more 80 plus now its actually impressive how many great ones are on that 80+ list Deux ex , TombRaider , DragonQuest, TheLastGuardian and thats naming a few of soo many its soo rare now to get a 90 plus game in the yearly ps3 days we got 90´s for days xD

Finished it. I don't think it's particulary bad, but definitely not great imho. It has some neat exploration, gameplay is kind of decent, and main characters are likable. Also, it's graphically impressive with tons of eye-popping moments. But, story is laughably bad because of bad storytelling. I'm glad that SE noticed that and want to patch it. Story is totally non-sense in the second half. I see some good concepts in the plot, but really badly done. I think it definitely needed more... parts. It's way too rushed in the end, and it's really frustrating. Side quests are repetitive and add almost anything to the world. It's just the best way of farming experience and... that's it. I don't know how the game would have become with Nomura. But with Tabata is, imo, a mixed bag.

Final Fantasy is still, imo, a shadow of its former self. There were times when FF games were always gonna be the best JRPG of the year. Always. I can name some low-profile RPGs this year which put this game to shame. And that's a pity, because I definitely see potential. Which was totally crushed by some questionable game design decisions and plain bad storytelling.

In Chapter 9 and I am losing interest. This Stadium thing just to get a part for the car is far beyond tedious. Leveling up in in Quest 64 is less tedious. I know they are different but XCX is such a better game and still my GOTG.
