The demo was really good. I had low expectations. Really hope they can deliver a great story. The battle system (if you can call it that) Is ok... I think the camera kinda sucks tho. The reviews will be safely high im sure unless the game is undeniably bad lol. So... 80-95 rating I'm thinking.

I think it will score somewhere between 85 and 90, I'd be really happy to see a final fantasy game score above 90 though. To me this is the most interesting installment in a very long time (outside of FF7R of course).

Given everything we’ve seen so far of FFXVI, if the game shares the same Metacritic space as Tales of Arise then there better be some compelling reasons why.
 
I would be happy with something like 94-98.

But let’s be real, and I said it before, it will have 1-2 6/10 and a few 7/10 because performance, graphics, too repetitive and many more.

Editor's Note: Before we get into this review proper, I, Timothy Von Über-Death (she/her), head of writing staff at Doujinshi, the gaming review site, need to clear one thing up for our readers: This game is the Love Child of hundreds of hard working passionate people and this review may point to stunning cinematics, enthralling storyline and engaging modern gameplay - HOWEVER - we will take an act of solidarity towards the disparaged portion of our reader base and agree to give the game the same score as the number of black people featured in game. Gender neutral ball is in your court, Square. How good do you want your score to be?
 
85-91

Too many FF fans are blinded by the hype of the demo.
It's still a FF game. The demo was decent. I don't think It'll score more than 91.
91 is the ceiling, which is really good for a main entry "SquareEnix" FF.

How are people blinded by actually getting their hands on the game, playing it and largely coming away thinking its great despite it being cutscene heavy?

Seems the opposite of being blinded.

CBU3 and Yoshida been dropping the highest rated Final Fantasy games in almost 20 years. This game is gonna hit 90 at least

I have no PS5 so I only watched streams but pretty much saw the whole game, and it's so different from anything Final Fantasy, in the best of ways. It looks sick, and that story is some Xenogears and Naruto shit.

This will score high and of course it looks 10 times better than FFXV

60-70. Eurocentric, ლack of diversity, and some form of contrived criticism.
There's a REEEEEEEEEEEtarded board out there, that is complaining that a female warrior gets captured twice in a 60 hours long game (not a spoiler at all trust me).

Most "mysogynist" mainstream game. Yes I know it's misspelled but they are reeeeeeeeeeeeeeetarded.

Seems realistic. Send them the WNT latest highlights for proof
