FFXIII gets lower scores due to Western point of view

Western reviewers don't get it?
Final Fantasy XIII director Motomu Toriyama has said that the rather low scores the game has been receiving in early reviews is due to the Western point of view the reviewers have.
"We think many reviewers are looking at Final Fantasy XIII from a western point of view. When you look at most Western RPGs, they just dump you in a big open world, and let you do whatever you like... [It] becomes very difficult to tell a compelling story when you're given that much freedom."
Producer Yoshinori Kitase added the following:
"We try not to listen to the critics too much. Most of the criticisms have come because the first half of the game is very linear.

"But we've got a story to tell, and it's important the player can engage with the characters and the world they inhabit before letting them loose..."
Reviews have quite different scores, something that supports the devs' point of view.

PSM3 gave only 70% while Gamesmasters decided to award FFXIII 81% and Official PlayStation Magazine even went so far as to giving it a 9 out of 10. On the other hand, maybe some people decided to stop giving monster scores.
