Very little chance. There's a Chinese subs version out next year.
Into my veins.

There might be evidence. Or it's the fact that most games seem to fall in a certain narrow review range, which makes their reviews kind of meaningless.

There are far worse 40/40 scores, for example JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle.
At least in its genre Nintendogs is a quality game.
That's about what I would expect. Persona 4 Golden took me 90 hours for the first playthough.

Their "reviews" are based largely on how much the game was advertised with them, along with how much they think their readers will want to see a favorable review of the game. They aren't really reviews of the game at all, and the actual text of the "reviews" tends to be like three lines of the most vapid text imaginable.
Turn-based games are dead
I guess it will be the best scored JRPG this year by a long shot.
Can't wait to play.
lol FFXV will score 40/40
RE6 got a 39 too? That completely compromises their integrity. P5 must be terrible

Heavy Rain got a 37, so it's only slightly better than that. Guess it's trash then.
Sounds right based on past games.
Preorder cancelled.

Scores generally should mean nothing. It's the main body of the review that I want to read
pretty sure their 80 hours is for just the main story.
oof, hopefully it's a bit shorter when playing on easier difficulty levels
Jojo is the epitome of a massively shit game with a massive marketing campaign. Famitsu is full of shit giving it a perfect score.
I remember reading an article earlier this year by a former writer in famitsu (or was it dengeki?), and they were not allowed to publish anything without approval from the company that the games were involved in. Probably explains why you legit never actually see any opinion pieces about games on official Japanese news websites.

Nintendogs for its time was amazing though
I don't understand this meme.
Nintendogs was an amazing game if you were part of its intended audience. There are a lot of children out there that couldn't have a pet and that game was the best alternative available. I was like 12 when it launched and I remember a lot of friends being hooked to it.
It deserved the score IMO.

BTW it is the highest score an Atlus game received from Famitsu???
You can not like it but it deserves the score... Nintendogs is perfection in what it was designed.
If I remember correctly, I think that Atlus said it would be longer than Persona 3 and Persona 4, and have enough content wise as Persona 4 Golden, which means very unlikely that it's less than 80 hours, unless you can skip cutscenes or
play on the SAFETY difficulty level.

Ah alright. I didn't know Famitsu even did reviews until I started reading GAF. I just knew they did Japanese games coverage.

Can't wait for the game but Famitsu scores have proven largely meaningless
FFXV will without a doubt get a perfect score or a 39 at worst. SE will pay big for it.Let's wait and see
It won't and there will be drama
Anyway, good for the game if it helps sell a few more units, even if Famitsu reviews are... well... you know.
I certainly enjoyed the hell out of the game, and it was much much better than FF13, but a perfect score? Absolutely undeserving of that.
80 hours shouldn't be too surprising given the previous titles, but I still thought it would be shorter just because of the development costs being higher. Glad to know it's not the case. This will consume my life next year.
I guess we'll be getting a Persona 6 fairly soon to use those assets as much as possible.

The score doesn't mean too much but I'm glad to hear that it's still a long game.

Had the same thoughts. The only real outcome from this review is some readers of famitsu who aren't into persona might give it a try. Expect uncharted fan response if ffxv doesn't hit the perfect score. Shouldn't matter but some people are emotionally dependent on the score being 40.

Why though? They're two VERY different games. Comparing the two always seems silly and childish.
33/40
Famitsu doesn't give much of that.

I believe it won't and people will go crazy.
Maybe SE break up and didn't have the money to buy a perfect score
I can be wrong but it is highest score an Atlus title received from Famitsu by a big margin.
