Better RPG: Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest?

Ninjaa · May 28th, 2002

Somehow, I think I know what the result is going to be already, but I am a masochist I guess. My vote goes to Dragon Quest. The games are usually higher quality than Final Fantasy. And the new Final Fantasies just plain suck.

Ninjaa · May 28th, 2002

ummmm.... could some moderator please erase those strange ///s?

<Id> · May 28th, 2002

My vote goes to Final Fantasy

I was wondering what the ///s meant

on 8 bit nes days I would have said dw but since then my vote goes to ff. dw 3 and 4 were awesome back then and us english speakers never had the oppertunity to play ff2 and 3 on the nes. There are a lot of good ff games and final fantasy derivatives. (IE tactics, mana series). I liked 7 and 9 on the ps1 too.

I really like all the FF's I've played. Admittedly, there have been niggling points that annoy me:
FF4: Too freaking hard! I've never got past that damned elf.
FF5: Off the top of my head none, I probs just haven't played it enough.
FF6.... Acutaly can't think of any

FF7: The way the characters changed from being Kawaii to proportional at vaious points throught the game. The rest was rockin tho.
FF8: The entire %$"&*(! magic system really annoyed me. I cheated to complete it and got more enjoyment out of it that way.
FF9: Little too easy, and a slightly more that usually predictable plotline.
FF10: The fact that you can kill the final boss in one hit if your characters are powerfull enough.
I never really go into the Dragon Quest games to be honest.

I like Dragon Quset/Dragon Warrior a lot, but it just can't surpass the FF series. So I voted for FF. But over in Japan, the Dragon Quest series is w-a-a-a-y more popular that the FF series. People were getting held up and mugged for the latest Dragon Quest games when they came out. BTW, I'll take care of the //s for you.

Sorry, I can not get rid of the single / in each line. I tried, several times, using the edit option and the board won't let me. At least it looks a little better.

FF is the best! DQ is a good game, but I don't like it so much...

Ninjaa · May 28th, 2002

Yeah, I thought the poll would go like this. We need some more Japanese people in here.

Dragon Quest 5 and 6 are where it's at though. I find the games to be MUCH better than the Final Fantasy equivalents, and since FF4, and FF6 were always my favorites, the vote had to go to DQ.

sx/amiga, thanks for taking out the //s.

**Snake785** · May 28th, 2002

I can't vote cause I haven't played Dragon Quest.

What kind of story does it have?

Koji2009 · May 28th, 2002

Dragon Quest games kick @$$ but because of FF4-6 I would have to side with FF's... if you had omitted even just FF6 I would have sided with DQ...

Snake there is an option there for you... do you not see the "what's dragon quest" option?

DQ is varying storyline throughout each game... I haven't played 7 but I heard it was a tad repetitive.

Cless · May 29th, 2002

dragon warroir rocks the FF series is ok but dw/q is better.

Esturk · May 29th, 2002

The only DQ I don't like is V. Probably due to the translation. But overall I think DQ and FF are pretty different. So it's hard to choose.

May 29th, 2002

No problem Ninja, glad to help. I'm at home now, so I'll try to remove the last two /s. If works, great!, if it doesn't then, oh well, we'll just have to live with it.
sincerely,

Try erasing the ' after the slash.

I just have one other Dragon Quest story to tell though. In Japan, Dragon Quest games are required to come out on weekends. The reason is that many people skip school/jobs/etc. in order to wait in line to get a copy. You don't see that with Final Fantasy.

Cdskribbles · May 29th, 2002

I go wit FF even though im not a RPG fan!!

Jonys · May 29th, 2002

For me its FF.....always...

Orien · May 29th, 2002

Never play Dragon Quest. And the winner ia Final Fantasies, I think.

Ninjaa · May 30th, 2002

Well then how do you know if you haven't played them?
