Even though FF6 has the higher Gamerankings average, I'm still torn between which would be the better buy.

Have you played any of the games in the Final Fantasy or Castlevania series? I would recommend you buy the game that is in the series you liked more.

Well... do you want a side-scrolling action game, or a turn-based RPG? These games are in completely different genres. Whatever suits your fancy.

And I swear, if you make one more comment about review scores, I'm never responding to anything you post ever again.

sulla says things he usually doesn't mean, but seriously, Final fantasy is the way to go usually.

You really should play a Final Fantasy game sometime.

Tell me about it.

But hold it right there, I saw a list of 3rd party companies that release VC games, and Square Enix was there! So, well...

The final fantasy game on the VC is MY life as King. It is okay, certainly not at all a true final fantasy. You send your subjects out to fight for you while you build a city. It's got some novelty, but I am waiting for a true final fantasy (even the first one would be fine) or secret of mana to come out.

FF6 might be the best RPG ever, I would take a chance on that :p

Heh, I got A Link to the Past Advance instead. Final Fantasy VI won't follow for a long time.

I guess you can never lose with a zelda game, but you should play a final fantasy.

A Link to the Past is pretty good as it stands.

Final fantasy six is, IMO, easily the greatest RPG of all time.

No way! Kefka beats the crap out of Rubicante/Rubicant, Cagnazzo/Kainazzo, Barbariche (how do you spell his name?)/Valvalis, and Scarmiliogne/Milon Z. (WTF?), even when they are all put together.

But seriously, how do the four fiends from FFIV look like on the DS?

FF6, it has higher replay value which means you'll spend less time on these forums

Not a good reason to pick a game.

Heh no, opinions on which game is better is generally mixed (see IGN's Top 100 Lists from 2005 and 2007) among the public. Famitsu's reader's for instance, think III, IV, VII, and X are better.

Why do you believe everything you read? Top 100 lists are total crocks. They only cover games everyone knows and go by popularity. It's really retarded of you to keep referring to them as the end all be all of video gaming knowledge. IMO all final fantasies are really terrible games.

I know people have their own opinions and such, but there are some opinions that you just cannot have, period, if you call yourself a gamer. Saying Final Fantasies suck is one of them.

Having been a gamer for nearly 20 years now, I have played every Final Fantasy and have gamed on every Nintendo console, I have the right to say Final Fantasy is over rated and should have stopped at 6.

Heck, they could have stopped at IV as far as I'm concerned (except for the tactics variants).

lol. I love Final Fantasy, but if someone doesn't like JRPG's they're not going to like FF.
