Fable 1 was an average RPG. It was hyped so much because of Molineux's promises that when it came reviewers thought they should give it a high-score for the effort.

 

On the contrary. Many reviewers marked Fable down for failing to meet their lofty expectations. Its aggregate review score would have been substantially higher were it not for the excessive hype that surrounded the title.

 

I think you should read some reviews. It is widely thought by gamers that Fable simply is not a great game.

 

 

It is also widely thought by many gamers that FFX, FFXI, and FFXII are not great games.  It's easy to play the blanket statement game isn't it?

I've played through and beaten over 200 RPGs of varying types in my time, from NC to PS to PC etc, and I feel I am a capable critic of the genre.  FFX and FFXII were two of the worst JRPG's available on the PS2.  And even though I hate action RPGs, Fable was one of the best action RPGs released on either ps2 or xbox.

For someone like me, not a fan of action RPGs, but also looking at Final Fantasy's rapid spiral into mediocrity and worse, I'm not sure I'd buy either game. 

Shit, I've still got PS2 RPGs I need to purchase and play, and I still haven't checked Ogre Battle 64 off my list yet.
