Thread: Ocarina of Time vs. Final Fantasy VII?

    I am just playing Ocarina of Time and it has such horribly clunky controls. It does not really help raising its position on my list.

    A Link to The Past is where it is at for me when it comes to Zelda games.

    A Link Between Worlds is better.

    On topic, I'd rate FFVII higher.

    But when it comes to rating their remakes, I think Ocarina of Time 3D will wind up far superior to Final Fantasy VII Remake.

    Fine, I'll second this. So let's make it Final Fantasy VI vs. Majora's Mask.
    FFVI vs. Link to the Past would be more appropriate since they're within the same console generation. Just saying...

    In both cases, 7 vs. OoT and 6 vs. ALttP, I prefer the FF entries to the Zelda entries, but it isn't like I don't think highly of the Zelda titles as well. Regarding 7 and OoT, I found Materia customization and combinations more interesting than anything OoT had to offer, and the same goes for playing around with various character skills and equipment setups in 6 vs. anything in ALttP. All things considered though, I'm not sure how good a comparison I can make between the titles, seeing how different the experiences they deliver are, and there are certainly times I'm more in a Zelda mood than a Final Fantasy mood.

    ALttP would have been a more adequate choice here

    Not really sure how you can compare them when Zelda games fall far heavier into the action-adventure genre than they do RPG.

    Both are two of my favourite games of all time, for vastly different reasons to the other.

    FFVII I enjoyed the story that made me think about video games in a way I hadn't before, the spectacle and the customisation. In terms of exploration though, the world didn't feel all that cohesive.

    OoT I enjoyed the adventure, the quintessential fantasy story, the puzzles and that nearly all the side-quests, side-puzzles etc resulted in something rewarding - particularly the Metroid style adventure, where everytime you got a new item you could (usually) go back to an old area and discover something new.

    I would've said the exact opposite! Lol.

    From an objective standpoint: Ocarina. Because I can think of almost nothing wrong with that game (all I can think of is that there's nothing to spend rupees on in the late-game)

    I just prefer FF7 more for emotional reasons.

    I think Ocarina's controls are such a major turn off. Now that I got the Zelda feaver again I was able to ignore that partially but I think this factor of clunkieness can heavily limit your motivation. I know it did for me. FFVII's greatest flaw is the translation.

    This one slipped by me when it was originally posted....hmmmmm (drums fingers)

    So.....

    Seriously?

    A Sony console game is being put up against something released on Nintendo?

    Sony and Nintendo are two very different companies. I know the early FFs were released on the SNES but they lost out to Sony after that.

    By that logic you may as well have Cloud challenge Luigi to a duel. Hmmm....i wonder who would win.....

    Luigi. Clearly.

    I mean, have you seen his death stare?

    Cloud has that mako infusion going for him though. That and a big ass sword.

    I haven't played Ocarina of Time, so my answer is FFVII.
