Dragon Quest VIII vs. Final Fantasy VIII

[dustdust]

Which one is better and why?

[Vaprice]

Dragon Quest is good, but FFVIII has established so much fanatic fanbasing becuase it's such a bigger game internationally. Dragon quest is only known mostly in Japan. It died out years ago in America...

[Dignified Pauper]

I'm pretty sure FFVIII is one of the worst games made. That's my reason.

[Xaven]

I have no idea considering I've never played any Dragon Quest before.

I know that deep down, I'm way biased towards FFVIII anyway, so that would probably get my vote. I'll refrain from doing so to make it fair.

i dont see how you can consider it a fair match , as DQ VIII was just released, and DQ games in general arent as popular as ffs outside Japan, as well as FFVIII having a ginourmous fan base...

then again, i dont like comparing things as "better" anyway.

I'm pretty sure you're pretty wrong.

DQVIII is starting to annoy me. Every frickin dungeon takes hours, and there isn't a lot of flow to the storyline. And the music really gets to me.

I've put it down temporarily, and have since gone back to FFVII and FFX.

how far have you gotten? youd probably like the story better once you complete it.

and dungeons shouldnt take hours.

Never played a DQ game and FF8 was the first FF I ever played and the first RPG I played also, so it holds special memories for me over any game.

[Black Mage]

FFVIII was one of the worst FF games created, and DQVIII is wonderful in most every aspect.

Tough choice.

[Rattler]

Why does everybody hate FFVIII so much?

That was my favourite!

[Winter Nights]

I haven't played DQVIII in full, but I played the demo. It bored the living crap out of me and the animation was [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img].

FFVIII is one of my favorite FFs and pretty good visuals at the time.

Tough choice.

[Zeromus_X]

well, you cant really base the whole game on the demo...:rolleyes2

[a nirvana fan]

I would say Final Fantasy VIII due to the fact it is so good, sure Dragon Quest VIII is good, but not as good as FF8..never.

[Dignified Pauper]

Man, the sarcasm in this thread with all the votes for FFVIII is really funny. Seriously guys... i thought this was an actual discussion, not a satire filled comedy.

Comparison:

FFVIII
Has several of the series' best tunes.
Pretty original battle mechanics; the learning curve is a bit steep, but once you've mastered them you're unstoppable.
Has FRICKIN' SWEET GUNBLADES AND FLYING SCHOOLS!
The storyline is a bit dysfunctional, unfortunately, but...

DQVIII
Fails the Internet in every possible aspect except Jessica's hooters and the FFXII demo.
