Metacritic just made an epic fail

http://features.metacritic.com/features/2010/how-does-final-fantasy-13-compare/

"The new game is considered the 13th installment in the main series, and it actually follows a game widely considered one of the best (if not the best) in the series:Final Fantasy XII."

"It may not have the highest score, but FF12 tops many fans' lists of favorites in the series."

This is pretty weird, I haven't met that many who have actually liked FFXII, let alone considering it the best in the series.

Believe it or not people like FF12. Those people just have poor taste is all.

I noticed while reading that the 360 version of FFXIII has a higher metascore than the PS3 version.:o

I think FFXII is a good game, its battle system is the best in the series but the story was kinda boring

IIRC, don't this happen with every FF? People start praising the previous installment, and hating on the current one :P, who wants to bet when FF 15 comes out, 13 would be "classic" in some people's eyesalxis

Nah, there are things worth fighting for but FF12's dignity certainly isn't one of them :P

I'm clearly joking. I don't like FF12 but those who do are free to that. (Jeez, people take their FF too seriously around here)

I liked Final Fantasy XII. At least it wasn't X-2.

I really enjoyed XII....just don't go spreading it around :|

heh, the 360 version getting a higher MC score despite being inferior. Must have been reviewed by xbots. One thing i notice is that lemmings will never admit or think that a 360 version can be inferior. Cows do admit but try to defend almost too tenaciously.

You clearly aren't going to get it because you clearly do not know my posting style because you are clearly new. Its no secret I don't like FF12 and its no secret I clearly take shots at it in good fun. Its also fairly obvious that I don't care enough about others people's taste to actually insult it.

That's because the PS3 version has exactly twice as many reviews.

[QUOTE="Watch_My_6"] Clearly joking? That posts indicates nothing of the sort. If someone bashed a game you'd like I'd imagine you'd try to defend it. lazyathew

Uh, the person I responded to clearly knows who I am. Or else they just assume I am somehow respected in SW. Really though, I'm not sure why I am even being defensive over my position that FF12 is mediocore. It is. Anyone is free to like it though.

I love it linear, simple, and old fashion mmmkay :P

Edit: Im not joking at all, thats why I bought it.

I got the impression he was joking, and I have no idea who the hell this guy is. This is my first time ever posting in SW actually...

Really? Is that so?

I always thought, that FFVII was the best. I mean, everyone I know considers it the best.

I think that MC also made a couple of errors in their review selection. Edge gave both the PS3 and Xbox360 a 50, yet it only shows up for the PS3.

Final Fantasy 12 is one of my fav. in the series! It was a huge departure from their previous games as far as battle system. And I feel they did an amazing job with gambits. The story may not be as memorable, but the theme of war was interesting and enjoyed every character. Balthier is my favorite!TREAL_Since

I actually watched and stared in amazement at how God;y your sig is. I didn't even wander. Dear God. +15.

Okay, let me rephrase. FF12 is mediocore imo. Anyone who likes it however doesn't have poor taste, just different. You are free to like whatever the hell you want. Jeez, this is why SW isn't fun, people get upset over the silliest things.

FFXII was a decent game, but the story is an absolute joke. For the FF series, the gameplay was a step up for the time, but now that FFXIII is on the table it's not that much of an improvement comparatively.

that is the best sig ever....

It's been a long time since i've really followed the FF series, but why is it that 12 is so hated by people while 10 is so loved? 10 has so much stupidity in it.. seriously, i'd love to know why.

blahzor

What FF doesn't have stuupidity in it? From Time compression (FF8), to chasing Sephiroth across the whole damn planet (FF7), to going inside some random giant robot(FF4), to an end game that goes up to 2 hours without a save point (FF3), to avillain who clearly passes on killing off the maincharacter like 20times and has his damn Castle connected to one of the protagonists (FF5), a Final Fantasy without none sense is not a Final Fantasy.

Let's not bring up FF8, FF8 is bad

There are certainly ridiculous moments in eachFF game i didn't deny that.. but, 10 was just.. ugh. I'm sorry, maybe i just hate Wakka, Tidus, and Rikku to much. and blitz ball. What a stupid thing that is. I'm just curious as to why it's so loved, because i find 12 more bearable.

EDIT: btw, spoony has begun his review of FF10! i trust it'll be an epic review to span the years, like his FF8.

XII, I found the plot to just be very boring, characters were boring, and the battle system was interesting at first, but gets boring fast.

I liked FFXII, but without Balthier, Fran, and the battle system the game would have been **** It had a horrible and uninteresting plot and the other characters were just bad.
