Eh, maybe I worded that badly. It's not like I don't value somebody's opinion if they are a journalist. Everybody has the right to their opinion and it's not in my place to judge it. I meant that just because someone is a journalist, that doesn't make me value their opinion more than that of a random guy on the internet.

I meant western as in not Asian, I'm actually also European.

Actually Famitsu and Japanese gamers in general are much more open minded from what I saw comparing them to western magazines and sites. Whether it's Skyrim or Gears of War, a good game will always get a good grade in Famitsu, no matter how culturally different it is, whereas I'm tired of counting how many biased opinions I read in local magazines in my life. Things like "i don't like 15 years olds saving the world", "i don't like pretty boys as protagonists", "i don't like anime stereotypes", " the plot has too much references i don't understand", "the game is too difficult for me", "the game has elements I don't like since they are too weird for me", "we westerners won't like it since it's too japanese"(silly editor, as if you could speak for me). All of that made me really put off from press and any kinds of reviewing sites. Now I don't even give scores any attention, I follow videos, news if i'm interested and then try the game for myself. At best if i'm really curious I ask random people for their opinion, but i'm never going to guide myself with metacritic or anything like that.

Also SE never said anything of the sort. They just said, that so far FFVII is a game that is regarded as their best title by most (citation needed, Wada) and right now they want to focus on making even better games than that instead or riding on VII's fame alone.

Also can someone explain how the comment about transparent muffler turned into me defending FFXIII/SE yet again?
