IGN FF16 review is almost like a critique of FF14's own issues

[TheDecay]

Imagine saying all that, then saying....

9/10......

(If they did in fact say all that...did not read the review, nor care to)

Maybe because they don't dare to against the hype. Once the hype cools down people will realize it's just a 7 or 8 game.

IGN rating system:

10 - Masterpiece ("There’s no such thing as a truly perfect game, but those that earn a Masterpiece label from IGN come as close as we could reasonably hope for.")
9 - Amazing ("We enthusiastically recommend that you add these games to your to-play list.")
8 - Great ("These games leave us with something outstanding to remember them by")
7 - Good ("Playing a Good game is time well spent. ")
6 - Okay
5 - Mediocre
4 - Bad
3 - Awful
2 - Painful
1 - Unbearable

So in other words, you still recommend playing FFXVI to everyone.
