Fallout or Final Fantasy?

[Galuf]

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

This. i say i like FF more but yes they arent comparable. no way. not ever not even on planet EEE47thf. ( Real planet i made up)

I think I can sum it up as Final Fantasy is an on-the-rails experience, Fallout is an off-the-rails experience.

If the rails are taking you somewhere incredible, smurf yeah, toot toot all aboard. But when they're not, the story and gameplay experience you choose for yourself is probably going to be better.

Yeah I think what you said pretty much describes WRPG's and JRPG's in general. I like being off rails at times. I do think Fallout's combat system is a bit more realistic in a way. Not through passage of time but action wise and combat options. It's nice to have around 10 or 12 action points to get through Fallout 1 or 2. So it's basically like you control the story and if you want to follow it or not. Which can be fun if you just want to roll around raiding towns and murdering people in Fallout 2. But I like Final Fantasy for the great story and characters. And the occasional good magic system. But if I ever made a game I think I'd be stuck on using turn based battle or action point based battle. I also notice Front Mission uses it too.

Now that I think about it more. I think FF's battle system might be more simple and easy to use than Fallout's and might be a bit more tactical in a way. Fallout while it's a great game especially the first two, I have to say the combat looks a bit unrealistic in the sense of standing out in the open and getting shot at. TBH I actually might like Wasteland 2 more than the Fallout series since you can utilize the environment around you better than Fallout, I think Fallout Tactics did this as well. From what I know no one is stupid enough to run out in the open and get shot at. Finding cover is usually the first thing they do.

Fallout.

It has revolvers.

Do I want to eat pizza or would I rather eat some ice cream? Well, it really depends on how I'm feeling or what mood I am in since I love both of them.

[TheShogun]

I haven't played much FF but oh boy do I love me some fallout.

I knew the game was exceptional when I realised you could do a 'retard run'.

Any sane person would have Pizza, and then have Ice Cream for dessert. You Silleh!

I think it also depends what genre you're into in terms of story. Do you like a Post-apocalyptic horror depicting life after a nuclear war and people struggling to make a living in a damn near endless desert of the ruins of Northern California and Southern California, be the one to save the wasteland or bring it through complete hell and destroy everyone in your path ( a scenario that I see as unlikely) or do you like a good story that varies upon every game that incorporates the issues of corporatism, evil empires, gods and their hatred of humanity, insane psychotic clowns that simply want everything to die and end, magic beings and people who can utilize that power, civilization as it climbs to its top and falls to the bottom through natural disasters or its self, interesting characters with great backstories of those people enough that you can sympathize with them.

[BlackFire]

Never played Fallout, so I will go with Final Fantasy.

[Fynn]

This isn't Eyes on Fallout. I'm pretty sure the majority here came out of love for the other franchise...

[Richard]

I think I enjoyed Final Fantasy X more than I did Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Just being honest.

[Bright Shield]

Definitely FF for me.

[Lazerface]

AGGGGHHH!!! FFVII REMAKE OR FALLOUT 4!! DAGGHH I CAN'T CHOOSE! lol

[FFNut]

You can't really compare the two, but give me FF over FallOut if I was forced to choose any day.
