GAF's Nicest Lunch Thief and Nosiest Dildo Archeologist
Which series do you think was better based on the first 11 games of each respective series?
If I had to pit each original release in the series against one another , my personal preferences would be:
-FF1 > DQ1
-DQ2 > FF2
-DQ3 > FF3
-FF4 = DQ4
-DQ5 > FF5
-FF6 > DQ6
-FF7 = DQ7
-DQ8 > FF8
-FF9 > DQ9
-I haven't played DQX, but I'm guessing FFX is better.
-DQ11 > FF11
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FF1: 5 interesting classes (Thief sucks). Less linear, less grindy.
DQ1: Fun open world. Too redundant and grindy.
DQ2: Unique characters. Occasional lack of directions.
FF2: Boring from beginning to end. Poorly balanced.
DQ3: 6 interesting classes (Merchant and Goof-Off are useless). Fun battles and character growth. Lack of freedom in battle strategy near the endgame.
FF3: See FF2.
DQ4: Lack of control over allies in Chapter 5. Otherwise a great title.
=
FF4: Similar to yet better than FF1 in strategy and character growth.
DQ5: Hands down one of the best titles in the series.
FF5: A few fun classes. Poorly balanced after the halfway point.
FF6: Hands down one of the best titles in the series.
DQ6: Haven't beaten it yet, but not as good as DQ5.
FF7: Iconic game, changed an entire genre forever.
=
DQ7: Intensely satisfying 100 hour rpg, which sold over a million copies in Japan in the first few days.
Overall, I'd say Dragon Quest is the better and more consistent series of the two.
What's your opinion?
