The second batch of images don't show the User Score, which is the only score worth anything. The other one is created by journalist who spend barely any time playing or understanding the game. They probably wipe to basic stuff like stack markers and then write in their little review that it's "hard".

Regardless, I think the User Score is often initially a lot of frustrated players protesting and will probably change over the long-term as the more casual players leave their reviews and balance the score. If you check back some years from now, the User Score will probably be a lot higher.

I do think the feeling of FF9's lore being trashed on will leave a poor impression to many who played it though. If they had changed the lore enough to not resemble FF9 so much, it may not have left an impression like this but unfortunately this could affect the User Score in the future as well. Nevertheless, if you can separate yourself from the references to FF9 and pretend you never played it, it's a decent expansion.
Your correct. ARR on PC has a Critic rating of 83, and a user rating of 7.8
