Didnt that awful gundam game from the beginning of the gen get 8s from famitsu?

Japanese reviewers see differently than american journalists so the scores are either 80s- bombed HARD!!

Or this could be the first jrpg that NA likes more than Japan (not likely though)

Either way this is a horrible start for a game of this hype , being an Jrpg , getting a 70 which in retrospective here a 30-40

Detox - Go look at the WKC review thread that's on the 1st page of NeoGAF.

29 for an RPG in Famitsu, published by Sony? Holy shit.........

It's on GAF :S On the thread about Famitsu Magazine. It's on the first post.

I'll wait for some credible reviews, but this isn't exactly getting my hopes up...

Here are the other two reviews

third guy: The fight scenes with the large monsters in the beautiful game world are powerfully intense. The main story and cut scenes are easy to follow. Because you can use mail or the journal as soon as you log online it should be easy to communicate with others. Its okay that the battle system is simple but it tends to be dull. Its good that weapon/armor compatibility and strengthening can be done easily.

score 7

fourth guy: The battle system as promised is uncomplicated with its several aspects so it is easy to get into. Combining the different skills is fun. But I would have liked for the menus and battle commands to be more polished. The online play depending on the version... (can read last part, sorry)

score 7

its not just that the only games that really delivered to me so far were MGS4 and LittleBigPlanet.  I'm sorry but spending all that time and money on things like Home and other bad marketing decisions are really just turning me off from the company as a whole.  That being said i hope this is a fluke review but it seems like this is the same story as almost all the ps3 exsclusives

This man speaks the truth. I don't trust Famitsu any further then I can throw them. And being a company who most likely works in some sort of establishment and/or building, I would say I cannot throw them very far.

I'm willing to bet, if Famitsu is right about anything then the low score meant the game had developement probalems galore.

Well... another game to remove from the "just wait until..." list.

With that score, it will not have good sales. Specially in Japan.

Really bad score and this is Famitsu aka money hatting whores. This game is either really bad or the cheque got lost in the post, I am inclined to believe the former.
