If Famitsu gives White Knight a lower score than The Last Remnant and Blue Dragon, then you know it's in trouble. Level-5 joins the ranks of other devs that were much better last generation. :( Better chill on the hype for this one, guys.BioShockOwnz
But they gave persona a lower score than The Last Remnant and Blue Dragon and look how well it did....... hype on guys :P

Blue Dragon was utter trash and it almost got a perfect Famitsu score. (IMO)

dragon quest is like halo there and it's a dragon quest clone

Yeah I guess. Hopefully WKC sells well.

Famitsu is very tough on JRPGs, just look at some of their other reviews (Persona, etc.).

Anyway still a decent score.

As much as I personally love Persona 4, it didn't deserve the 9.0 it got here tbh. Lots of recycled stuff from P3 and a some refined gameplay on a more than year old 8.5 score.

Oh, it doesn't. I play whatever I want. But if this flops in SW's, there will be lots and lots of ownage to go around. I'll buy it if it gets a 1.0.

That could be bad news. Famitsu normally gives JRPGs a 'free' pass at reviews. So it may not get AAA (or maybe AA), could be like Lost Odyssey, a great JRPG, but has some little problems.

[QUOTE="black_tempest"]famitsu gave haze 35/40 and persona 4 33/40, and look at the western response to these games...... famitsu's not really a good indicator imoGiancar
and ME a 12 (?) and TLR a 38!

Mass Effect never came out in Japan (IIRC), and that reveiw was just just a cow trying to Bash Mass Effect.

I really can't trust Famitsu, they've praised way too many bogus games. Japanese have an odd taste.HoldThePhone

Have you ever read a Famitsu review other than relying on second-hand reports? And regarding the "Japanese have an odd taste [sic]" comment, what do the Japanese think about our tastes for guns and violence?

The funny thing is most games they score high like LR get low scores in the west or a better example Haze. That is their opinion bu sometimes you start to wonder how did they come up with that.

I think so. Personally I think Disgaea 3 shoulda been a PS2 game since it had no real graphical update for the PS3.

very niche game, speaking of niche games your sig just reminded me everyone needs to buy persona 4, but play persona 3 FES first.

That would be fine with me. PS2, Wii, 360. Anyone of those would have been a much better choice business wise.

If Famitsu gives White Knight a lower score than The Last Remnant and Blue Dragon, then you know it's in trouble. Level-5 joins the ranks of other devs that were much better last generation. :( Better chill on the hype for this one, guys.BioShockOwnz

the 360? How does a game intended for japanese help if it's on the box. Vesperia sold less in the US than in japan. I guess that small number of 360s somehow beat the millions and millions of 360s already in the US. Wow just wow. Business sense my foot.

Personally I don't care what the score is until it comes to the US. Sometimes RPGs change from the Japanese version and I don't know Japanese so I'm not importing it anyway.
