Can I levy charges of bias?

Based on what I've played so far of FFTA, I am not that enthralled. FFTA has a ton of features (it seems) but no real point in using them. You might get a blast out of having three different kinds (tribes) of black mages, but that kind of variety is superfluous to me.

So could there actually be a pro-Matsuno bias? How can you explain how FFT, that sterling example of originality, got as high a score in Famitsu as it did?

There may also be a bias against Western developers as well. Retro Studios didn't just do Metroid right; Prime is transcendent. (Well, I haven't actually played it yet, but I hope it's true.)
