This is unconfirmed at this time, but according to HKGolden, Famitsu has given Final Fantasy XIII a 39/40.

It got a 10/9/10/10 from the reviewers, although this is unconfirmed at this time. Famitsu does get released out of terrortories outside of Japan, like Hong Kong and China. But the magazine, which did use to launch on a Tuesday until earlier this year in August, now gets a Friday release.
