The ultimate RPG showdown of 2010. Which one do you prefer/more interested in...? Cause Im sure none of you have played the games to judge. (Well except some people who imported FF13)

Im actually very interested in both right now but I never played ME1 so I don't know what to expect, but with FF I know they usually pump out high quality games even though some people would argue otherwise.

 

So my vote is FF13!! I've liked everything I've heard about it so far, and its a nice change of pace and setting from all the dark serious brown grey environments that plagues EVERYTHING. The art direction is astounding. Love the backdrops and colors of everything, and Im sure the linearity won't be a problem to me if everything looks so polished and beautiful. As for the story well it looks enjoyable at least despite the cheesy melodrama, but those are part of a japanese rpg's charm. At least to me.

 

Remember guys don't get all competitive and hateful! =)

Making this poll on the Sony-dominated VGC is like walking into Baghdad and asking if they prefer the local No.1 or Kanye West's Jesus Walks.

I think you'll be surprised with the actual final result of the Poll.

It's not a matter of Sony vs Microsoft, it's a matter of JRPG vs WRPG, in which this forum seems to prefer the latter rather than the former, at least preffering it over FFXIII.

If the option Both! wins, then i'm very glad, because they are going to be two magnificent RPGs :D

I have one pre-ordered, and will be pre-ordering the other the moment they say what's in the Collector's edition. But I think my point will stand...

Hopefully, by the end it will be more balanced out. I have ME2 CE pre-ordered as well on my local GAME store, and i'm waiting for preorders of FFXIII to open.

I voted for both, but I am confident I already know how the poll will turn out....>.>



I will get em both but my heart is into ME2.

amen



Apples vs Oranges here.

How about comparing one JRPG vs another. You know, the battle of the JRPG cliches. I kid.




 

I am getting them both and Final Fantasy will outsell Mass Effect 2, but Mass Effect 2 will get more awards and higher overall ratings. From the videos I've seen of both so far both will be great but it Mass Effect 2 has been overshadowing Final Fantasy all throughout 2009 in game shows.
