They are, however, the only ones with any 'objectivity'. They cover a number of games and report on them using a set of standard criteria. Professional critics are good at telling you if it is worth your time to invest in playing a game.

They have nothing to say to the game's development team. It was not my intent to advocate they do so. It was decidedly my intent to assign the word 'objective' solely to someone who (a) reviews a lot of games in a professional capacity and (b) uses the same standards in describing the pros and cons of every game they review. (b) is more important than (a), by the way.

People who have no vested interest in your game aren't going to be able to provide nuanced feedback or even pick up on flaws they aren't outright apparent.
"Nuanced feedback" is indeed a better term than "objective criciticism".

Unfortunately, many of the General Discussion threads on this forum are neither nuanced nor feedback. At least in the English forums a number of threads are either complaints with the implied command "make it better" or deliberate taunts and teases to generate a response.

Frankly, you may well have to post your request in the Japanese forums (using the Japanese language) in order for your "nuanced feedback" to be read. It is harder to be misconstrued in that language. Be polite and work for the general good of all.
