This game is really good. Like, I haven't been this happy with a Final Fantasy game's first 3 hours since FFX.
There are some technical issues, but really they are comparatively minor compared to most AAA titles this gen. They are going to get 90+ ratings and they deserve them.

Not a big FF fan. In fact, the only ones I've tried (and didn't particularly love) were FF7 and FF7R. But they're obviously a beloved series to many, and the demo was pretty good. I vote 80-90%, upper 80s to be precise. Apparently this is quite a departure from RPG to full-blown action, and I feel not all fans will be over the moon by that decision.

That 9 is regarding what aspect of the game?

Famitsu has 4 reviewers giving their vote so it’s just 4 different opinions. Three of them rated it with perfect score.

If i'm not mistaken It means one of the four reviewers gave the game a 9.

The reviewer who gave it a 9 isn't a fan of action combat.

Hehe, also a reminder that even with reviewers, there will be those 5-6 outets that figure they get more attention by publishing an outlier type review. And focus on some sort of moral standing vs doing their jobs and just reviewing a game for big a game.
I agree that it goes in a different direction from say the Classic FF... but so did FF15. The party you have in that game is just for show. literally.
I have a question though, do you consider Witcher 3 as not an RPG but instead a full-blown action game?

I do, but I'm just quoting some stuff I read in the previews for XVI.
Different kind of action combat. Apples and Oranges.

Different combat systems. 7R is one of my fav combat systems ever, so you'll be fine switching between them.

Quite different battle system, i wouldn't worry at all

I always refer to the "summons" as Aeons because that's what they call them in X. I looked up now, and in XVI is Eikons, right?

Each hunt counts as a side quest. FF12 had around 40 or so, FF15 like 100+... so I take it that FF16 will have around 50 hunts and the 50 other side quests.
For reference, SE said FF15 had over 200 side quests, that's how I know each hunt is counted as its own side quest.

This game is doing almost everything in the book to please western media, from the 'le mature' story to real-time action combat.
It'll get good reviews, unless it completely messes up something.

Ludicrous.

Oh please, are you guys gonna start complaining about getting 9.8 instead of 10s?

Persona 5 and Royal have like a 95 on Metacritic. Western media is more than okay with a great JRPG that appeals mainly to Japan.

There you go, even more reason this won't get bad reviews for frivolous reasons. I'd argue there's IP bias there but that definitely applies as much (if not more) for FF as it does Persona.
Unless one thinks getting a 39/40 instead of a 40/40 counts as a 'bad review'.

A 9 is pretty high for a potential dealbreaker for this reviewer.

For sure, I wasn't complaining, if they're still willing to score it highly despite not liking this kind of combat then it high praise for the rest of the game.

Draugoth the metacritic link in the main thread post is opening opencritic page. Kindly fix it.
Dont worry, i will once reviews pop up.
They gave Death Stranding perfect scores. Famitsu is unreliable.
Just got my CE delivered
I want to win the lottery so i can buy CE for all Games

Famitsu’s 39/40 is all I needed to see. They gave XII and XIII-2 40/40.

Not really bothered by scores as much as I am by reasoning, which is the only thing that matters.
If you tell me you didn’t like a comedy because it wasn’t funny, I understand it even if it’s funny to me. But if you say that you don’t like comedies then… ugh…

For a tentpole Japanese game release, a 39/40 from Famitsu is basically a 6/10. Its. Over.

Xv got a 38 so there is hope.
