Gamerankings doesn't include Famitsu and I don't think Metacritic does though I generally don't like to use Metacritic because they'll take just about any review (which says a lot that they won't take Famitsu).

I thought Nintendogs was a giant load of crap.

ya, FF12 got a perfect from famitsu, and it sucked.
still, i believe this will be a great game

FF12 sucked.....

{crosses our phoenix_wiights credibility}

 There are a few Famitsu scores, OOT, DQVIII, FFXII, Wind Waker, GT4, probably more, but I am bored of looking.  It seems more likely that people just don't often submit Japanese reviews (if that is how metacritic works), than them not taking Famitsu.

im sorry, any true FF fan knows how bad FF12 was.

okay, it wasnt that bad, it was a pretty average game, but it sucked compared to the rest of the FF series. im pretty sure any FF fan would agree

^no, but nice try. Not all FF fans think alike. The first FF I played was Final Fantasy on NES. To many people the first one (and to a lot of people first RPG they ever played) was VII, and they think that's the best. Others think the best is 9, others like 8 better, and to each its own. Everybody has their own idea of what a "FF game should be". The truth is the is no such thing. Square reinvents the game every time they make a sequel. So when people say stuff like "this game doesn't feel like a Final Fantasy" that's nonsense, all they really mean is a particular game in the series doesn't feel like the type of Final Fantasy they like best. The medieval theme is shared by most of them, but this is true specially for the early first 5 games which also shared the "crystals story arc", most of them. The cartoony/anime style is also something most of them have in common, but just like the non-continuous stories, changing gameplay systems and different world settings is not something the series is tied into.

Their reviews used to be tough... but are currently some of the easiest out there.

Not that MGS4 doesn't desreve a 10/10. Just Famitsu is a pretty bad place to get reviews from.

They are way softer then most magazines.
