Any of you guys surprised at the news? What's your thoughts?

Wow, Shawn, your fast lol.

And no, I'm not really surprised by this news, after all they gave XII a perfect score... and Final Fantasy XIII is looking like an awesome game.
I actually felt a little disappointed when I saw the score ... I dunno why though :s 39 is great.

I heard this was just a rumor and not 100% yet. Though it most likely is the true score.

Personally I don't really care since Famitsu scoring has really really gotten soft over the past few years. Was nothing like during the days of N64/PSX era

They do seem to be a lot more lenient these days actually.

Interesting to see that the 9/10 was because the game seemed over-crowded.

Here's how Famitsu rated the other FF's

Final Fantasy I - 35
Final Fantasy II - 35
Final Fantasy III - 36
Final Fantasy Ⅳ - 36
Final Fantasy V - 34
Final Fantasy VI - 37
Final Fantasy VII - 38
Final Fantasy VIII - 37
Final Fantasy IX - 38
Final Fantasy X - 39
Final Fantasy XI - 38
Final Fantasy XII- 40
Final Fantasy XIII - 39

Seems to me like, the better the game, the lower the score! Guess that means it will be better then 12, Thank god

POSSIBLE SPOILER
Kotaku also hinted that the story seemed to linear till mid-game.
POSSIBLE SPOILER

Given the history of past ratings, I feel very safe with the rating.

I enjoyed playing FF12

A score of 39 is still a good score.

I know some people did, but it's the general consensus that FF XII didn't have a story on par with the other FF's.

Well, that's a very good way to justify that Famitsu are giving higher scores nowadays. There's a very clear trend leaning towards the 40 mark. xD

OH NO! a 39/40! they cant do that! ** a loud outcry causes the world breaks into 4 pieces** wow. i dont find them to be a good magazine and i really dont care about there game reviews. they gave Haze a better score then Killzone 2 mind you.
