Thread: Fallout or Final Fantasy?

  1. #1

    Default Fallout or Final Fantasy?

    Well if anyone here has played any one of the Fallout games I'd like to hear if you honestly like the Fallout series of the Final Fantasy series better. Personally I like Fallout in terms of the Action point system but it has some flaws in what can be done in a certain amount of action points in one turn. That and combat takes a while and it's pretty slow sometimes when you just wait for your companions turns to be done. But it is easy in the way that you get exp for completing quests. I will admit ATB moved faster than APBS (Action Point Battle System). Personally I will the FF series have deeper stories that make me scratch my head in admirement in the end. Which do you like better?

    I don't think they're anywhere near close enough to compare. totally different games.

    Yeah this is kind of an unusual matchup. Even the earlier games in the series (aka Fallout 1 - 2 vs. FF I - VI) are really, really different from each other.

    Fallout is great though, so I'm gonna say that.

    They're pretty different games. Both have installments within the topmost echelons of their respective genres - JRPG and CRPG. I don't know how meaningfully they can be compared except on a purely "I like this more than that" level.

    I think the "I like this more than that" level is kinda what I meant. I mean I know you really can't compare them that much but one's a WRPG and other is JRPG.

    I like 90's FF more than 90's Fallout but then Fallout dominates anything released in the past ten years.

    I seriously need to replay Fallout 1 and 2, I love them to bits but it's been a while

    Speaking of Bethesda, I like TES more than both Fallout and FF

    I will admit Fallout does have a lot more quests involved.

    I simply prefer FF games. I've only played one Fallout and it was okay, but I couldn't really get into it as much as I do an FF.

    This is hard to say. Final Fantasy at its best is better than Fallout, but Fallout at its worst is better than the low-tier Final Fantasies.

    Fallout is great, but nothing can really replace the nostalgia I feel from playing and old favorite FF.

    I played New Vegas for about 2 hours and then concluded these aren't the games for me. Not that it would have beaten FF even if I liked it.

    I liked the first two Fallouts. The last two really sucked for me. But Tactics was pretty fun and so is Wasteland 2.
