I think 9 is a great score... But I don't know why so many games are getting 10's... 10 is perfect with no problems... and no matter what there will always be room for improvement. Anyway... compared to games that are coming out for Next Gen Systems like the Xbox 360... Final Fantasy did very good to get a 9...

Anyway... Its just some ones opinion and if you don't like it you don't have to read it or lison to it. You could just play the game and be happy that you are playing the game.
