How can an unamed magazine have the cheek to call FFX a game worthy of SIX OUT OF TEN! The game is graphically impressive, the story is human-like, the music is magical, the characters are original, Al Bhed is ingenious and it keeps the FF series going in true style. Lets rally against the ludicrious rating!

Edge did give its reasons for the 6/10 score:
Puzzles involving little thought
Unbreakable animation sequences
Unpredictably deadly boss encounters
Infinite numbers of unavoidable non-threatening random battles
Linearity
Irritating lead character
Lack of evolution in the series considering this is next generation software
Voice acting that butchers the game
Nauseating dialogue
Apart from that, 6/10 means 'competent' in Edge's scoring system, so better than 5/10 which means 'average' in their book.
But like they said, it won't stop the fans (me for one) buying it no matter how inferior it may seem to other RPGs out there, because for the fans the good qualities of the game outweigh the bad ones listed above.

I recently downloaded a theme from Final Fantasy X called, "Crumbling Of Time".
For some reason, this theme is the exact theme of the music score for the blockbuster movie, "The Rock", which I am sure you have all seen and would agree that it is totally amazing, which inspired the gameplay found in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty - I guess that's my opinion, really.
Anyway, this theme I had downloaded of FFX is the same tune as in the movie.
Why? Is it supposed to be, or is someone just playing a game and editing things before submitting them online for us to download?
Even Time Crisis II includes the theme from The Rock, but the one in TCII is adapted. The theme from FFX is the exact same version as that of the movie.
Does anyone else know about this, or better yet, know why it's in this game's soundtrack? It's a great theme by Hans Zimmer (Mission Impossible, Gladiator) and Harry-Gregson Williams (MGS2, Enemy Of The State), but it just doesn’t suit this type of game.
Oh well...

I actually agree (some of the time). They gave Super Smash Brothers:Melee 6/10. Crazy.
