Damn good arguments in that last part of your post. It's how I used to think going into game reviews last decade. I had to put stuff aside in cases of things like re-releases as I was a HUGE FF4 fan, so I had to keep in mind objectivity of any issues that port had and how the game on the whole was for the hardware. People tend to not do that. They'll consciously or subconsciously fanboy it up and not actually think clearly about the game. You really do need to pretend you're a newb and this is your first shot, how does it hit you. It maybe easy now, but first go around, was it a pain in the ass? Let's say it was, was it a fair one or a cheap one...why?
