For FFXII, it was a mixture the lack of depth in a lot of the reviews.
In general with reviews, it is impossible to get away from the air of fanboyishness, and some people have a vested interest in how they score games. No one called out Halo 2 on the problems it suffered from being rushed, for example. Literally the only popular series I can name that's been held to account for stagnating gameplay is Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (which reviews worse and worse over time).
