Hmmm, I'm going to have to go with Tales. I used to be big on FF games, but for some reason I'm really getting turned off from them. The last FF game I really appreciated was X. Tales games I've always enjoyed, save for DotNW. I'm an fan of the older FF games really, that's one reason I'm partial to the "Tales of"series at the moment.Right now FF XIII isn't even on my radar but I'm stoked for Vesperia PS3 and Graces. Obviously, I'm not saying which one is better than the other since it's all subjective in the end, but for now I enjoy Tales more.

 

FF games tend to have deeper stories, but Tales games always have awesome character interaction, which is big for me. I enjoy the Tales cast more than the FF cast when it comes to that. I felt nothing for the FF XII cast and could care less what happened to them, I really tried...I at least enjoyed the gameplay enough to enjoy the game, but the cast itself bummed me out. The "Tales of" series always seems to have an enjoyable cast,(Again, with an exception of DotNW's Emil and Marta)even if they aren't the most original characters out there.

In the end, I enjoy both series for what they are, but I like Tales of more at the moment.

 

Also, I am sad that not much people seem have been bringing up Final Fantasy Tactics(PSone,PSP),that to me is the most

brilliant Final Fantasy out there. If you haven't played it, do yourself a favor and go get it right now. Awesome game.

symphonia 2 isn't that bad, just pretend that Emil isn't talking throughout most of the game and it's fine =).

I'll have to agree with you on this one. Though Tales of Vesperia was AWESOME it still doesn't make up for the mess that was Tales of Symphonia. GOD i hate Colette.

Well, yes, if you've found EVERY FF better then EVERY Tales, then Vesperia won't make you think that Tales games are better then FF games. However, I can almost assure you that after playing it you'd see how many of us can find Vesperia being better then all recent FF games.

I have my doubts.

I'm sure you'll think ToV is a great game but judging by how much you love FF12 i don't think you'll love it better then it. Whats you least favorite FF game anyways?

Out of the games I've played... either VII or VIII.

Well in my opinion ToV is better then both games. I thought FF7 was great but thought FF8 was too much of a chore. ToV to me beat both games in almost every aspect. Better characters (Yuri Lowell>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Cloud and Squall though i liked Cloud), better combat system (FF7 battle system was cool while FF8's was not so cool), Better storyline (though Part 3 of ToV was not as good as Part 1 and 2 but it was still cool and i liked FF7's storyline). The only thing about FF7 and FF8 i would put above ToV is music. Make sure to get the PS3 version of ToV if it comes to the states.

Really, the characters? Yuri was cool, everyone else was terrible. I especially hated estelle and karol. Terrible, terrible. Also, while i liked TotA's story somewhat, and thought ToS was decent story-wise, I thought Vesperia was terrible. It was nothing new AND executed badly, as opposed to nothing new and executed sometimes quite well (FF).

uh......how many time are going to keep on telling me this?

Equal to the number of times you say that the characters in that game were good. I'm just here to put some order in this crazy, crazy world where people like you with WRONG opinions are allowed to post their disgusting, vile, repugnant, animistic drivel.

You need to learn that not everyone thinks or have the same opinion as you. I guess your mind is still stuck in middle school.

Ok, next time i'll tone it down so you can keep up with me. Wouldn't want to run away with a game the other team doesn't even know they are playing.

How can some one have a wrong opinion?...If it's his opinion that characters in that game were really good.Then he is entittled to say and think so..your opinion does not make his wrong and nethier does anyone else's....at this point your just  being stupid and trying to make your opinion fact when it's not...

I think that's a little harsh. Tales stories usually are generic and tend to borrow much from FF. But their stories are not that bad.

Tales can never be "emotional" capturing like FF...TOA felt like a Toonami Anime cartoon


No it wasn't. And since when are video games really "emotionally capturing"? You people are too sensitive for your own good.

 

Uhm, seriously? That's half of the fun playing most JRPGs (if they are done well), to emotionally connect with the story and characters. But, judging by your game collection you really don't know much about what you're talking about.
