| *~Onna76~* said: Erm Baldur's Gate is an "action RPG". Final Fantasy has Turn Based, Action Time Battle and Real Time / Turn Based games and not "everyone" is fond of each Final Fantasy game, based on the battle system. Now don't call it a difference, but to me an Action RPG game which is basically a hack n slash game or a Strategy game, which means a lot of puzzle to complete 1 battle (strategies are always based on 1 entire battle scene) I call that a "huge" difference. |
Not trying to wreck this thread but-
I know what you are saying and I know other people say that sort of things too. Oh, and I think the Baldur's Gate you are talking about are the ones on the game systems while I am talking about the original PC games which are based off the D&D Role Playing game rules. In the PC game most of the battles took just as much prep -work as anything in Fire Emblem. Plus Fire Emblem is more about each of the characters than a strategy game that just sends out unnamed, uncustomizable units at your command. In Fire Emblem every character had a story. Plus the fact that Death meant Death in the game knocked out a lot of the linear nature of the story. Also the fact that in every battle you'll find acouple of ways to solve an obstacle so that too kills off the linear story line. Sometime just choosing which characters you want to nuture change the game a lot. Plus not having certain characters can block your path to obtaining other characters. So to me its just a RPG.
But if you want to debate some more we should get our own Thread and spare these poor people.
