Are there Better RPG's then final fantasy?

[Jebus]

He could just do what quite a few people do, and frequent the General forums, only going into the ones for the FF's you like occasionally to see what’s new.

Anyway, I also liked the Soul Blazer series, especially Illusion of Gaia.

Or, like me, avoid the FF forums like the plague.

If we're talking about I, II, IV, V, and VII, then yes, there are better. The KOTOR games, DQVIII, Fire Emblem, Golden Sun, Chrono Trigger/Cross, and thats to name a few. If we're talking about X-2, then just about all of them. If we're talking about X, a select few. If we're talking about VI, vII, XII and T, then none that I can thing of.

[Germ Hamee]

Hmmmmm, sorry to be a snob, but why the hell are you on these forums....

I joined to talk about FFIX when it came out, and remained off and on for the community. Let's face it, the FF chunk of these forums are far from the shiniest, so I don't see how this comes as a surprise.

[Perducci]

Suikoden, Breath of Fire, Fallout, Baldurs Gate... I like them all more than FF.

[PramTheOracle]

Anything Nippon Ichi.

[Suikojowy]

For me, Suikoden 2 is way better than any Final Fantasy, and Suikoden 1 beats out a few too. I've never played Suikoden 3 since I live in the uk but that's supposed to be brilliant as well.

[Lindy]

Final Fantasy; the series that pulls you in, gets you addicted, and then leaves you feeling dirty not knowing why you did it.

They're a nice entrance to the world of RPGs, but honestly, there are so many better sereii and singular RPGs out there to spend time on.

So yeah, pretty much every RPG is better than Final Fantasy.

[Markus. D]

I guess roleplaying is what you make it then....


but yeah, Ethna's memories was a very deep story, I loved it.

[Lost Number]

Eejits, nothing is better than FF...well, ff7 anyway.
What are the Phantasy Star and Lunar Ocean sereis?
What platform, where can i get them?

[Slicksword45]

FFIX is my fav. RPG ever

Xenosaga (not gear) is my second fave.

then a tie between FFIV, Suikoden IV, LOTR:TTA and Xenosaga (still not gear) 2

[Dignified Pauper]

Id say hell yah. As much as I love the series, there's better out there. FFVI tore up the 16 bit scene, but I always thought Phantasy Star IV just had the stronger story.

I also thought that during the 32-bit era, suikoden II and Lunar: Silver Star Story were both stronger titles then FFVII, and on par with FFIX.

and as for the 128-bit era, oh goodness. disgaea, Xenosaga, Makai Kingdom, Shin Megumi Tensai, All superior in every important fact to most final Fantasy titles.

and lets not even mention how Zelda and Dragon Quest have consistantly maintained higher standards of quality each successive generation.

but what say the rest of you, if FF truly the king? or just the pretender?

i agree with everything said here.

[Rengori]

Anything Nippon Ichi.

Not La Pucelle, I hated that game. But everything else does, yes.

[Gnostic Yevon]

For gameplay, I think DQ beats the later FF games, and Suik does as well. What FF gives you is more consistancy than say Suik or Xenosaga. You may like an individual game better than some FF games, but you'll always have a good time with FF. Suikoden has already had a flop -- only four games in the main series. And I believe DQ had one as well. FF and Romance of the Three Kingdoms are about the only games I'll buy new w/o reading a review first.
