LuckyTrouble said: Comparing two entirely different series seems.....odd. Comparing Legend of Zelda to other action games: Good Comparing Final Fantasy to other RPG series: Good Comparing an RPG series to what is essentially an action platformer series: Not so good I like them both relatively equally for different reasons. They both have their good and bad games, FF's more prominent simply because there are tons of FF games between mainline titles and spinoffs. If you had asked me to pick between say, FF and Dragon Quest, I could contribute to your poll. I can't be bothered to vote for such a poorly thought out comparison though. |
I get the whole apples to oranges thing that peeves people, but sometimes, people like apples better than oranges. For instance, I like The Last of Us better than I liked Halo 3. I believe it is better for many reasons despite loving Halo 3 as well. Just because the games are totally different doesn't mean I cannot have a preference to one over the other.
Same with these two franchises.
You believe games have to be in the same genre in order to state which one you believe to be better. In the end, what is asked of us is an opinion (whether or not the two games are of the same genre or not) so the answer cannot be right or wrong. Neither can the question.
It'd be more constructive to not answer the post than to condemn it.
OT - Final Fantasy is better to me, because I've tried to play LoZ games but could never finish one, because my interest waned long before the end. To me, the best LoZ game is 3d Dot Heroes, haha.
