LOL I doubt theres a JRPG than can take out Mass Effect 2 next year. It's just a dominant RPG as is.

Final Fantasy XIII may have something to say about that young man!


Final Fantasy will be the best JRPG and will sell well but as far as quality and truer RPG elements are concerned Mass Effect 2 all the way.:)

Of course we know the issue of quality will be subjective. According to many, it's also a field where it's rarely lacked....


Quality can be subjective, yes, as in 'eye of the beholder' beauty. Theres also objective quality which is based upon value in its genre and what it offers above and beyond. It's no contest really in an objective sense. Thats where I am getting at. Final Fantasy is a big story which you just play out with the old RPG turn based system. Mass Effect 2 is much more than just that.

I guess that's a subject we'll always disagree on, Final Fantasy is much more than that descritption in my opinion.

Final Fantasy is just a story with a battle system. Prove me wrong. I would love to see it your rebuttal.

Well, this isn't a contest of right and wrong S.T.A.G.E. I have an opinion, as do you. They differ, so what?

I respect your opinion, usually you explain it even though we agree to disagree at times. This is one of the few times you never explained though.

It's quite simple really, Final Fantasy (at least to me) has never been just a turn-based, story driven experience and that's all. Final Fantasy played different from other games during it's times of infancy, in the same genre, and being the top franchise (PS1 gen). It also is one of the indunstry's largest franchises, that's hard to do. Looking at it now, Mass Effect isn't comparable to Final Fantasy in many respects, in fact they're completely different. You think Mass Effect has a quality that Final fantasy is missing. I disagree...

Final Fantasy, outside from being one of the most desired games/franchises in the bizz, really evolves with each new installment. That's quite a feat for a franchsie that's 20+ years old. All I'm saying is, be happy for Mass Effect, I know I am, it's a great franchise. But don't knock Final Fantasy just because you don't favor it and then attack anyone who opposes. I said my opinion differs from yours, and clearly now you should see why. I see nothing wrong with opposes to my opinion as well, but just know that i can't prove you wrong on your assessment, as you can't prove me wrong on mine. There's no right or wrong outlook here, just how you approach a given situation.

I blame myself for this one though, I sarcastically brought up Final Fantasy and people took it too serious, and in essence, derailed my own thread. Ah well.....

Yes, we'll message each other about it. I know I am responding to the earlier post but this has the richest text.
