The Elder Scrolls Vs. Final Fantasy, which is the better Rpg franchise?(RPGDF)

Elder Scrolls...by far. Final Fantasy can suck my (Insert naughty word here). 

I hate the standard style of FF, it's just so bland to me.

Elder scrolls offers a ton in the way of character building, story, adventure, loot, mechanics. You can't even compare the 2 franchises really because theyre not the same genre of RPG. 

Especially Morrowind. Morrowind trumps everything. 

I got started on Final Fantasy games years ago and still have several of them.

while I did play Daggerfall and Morrowind and I have Skyrim which I haven't bothered to complete,

I am replaying Oblivion with mods that have turned it into an entirely new experience.

Final Fantasy has made a lot of games but peaked at XII and I haven't enjoyed the PS3 games as much as the earlier incarnations.

Square Enix didn't stay true to the formula that made them a success and this is why many people are moving on.

there are other RPGs both Japanese and Western to choose from so when there is a slip in quality for two consecutive games......

Depends ES is open sandbox rpg and ff is a jrpg i cant really say whats better because they are 2 seperate genre's made for diffrent tastes.

This is probably a topic to identify which tastes better for you...also Dark Souls is a JRPG...so its not equal to "turn based"..

Also I prefer Elder Scrolls...

I enjoyed the first Final Fantasy at some point, because you start off with four "Warriors of Light"; Sure its still straightforward (Kill the real bad guy lingo), but the real meat goes to the concept of freedom. The Freedom to have your OWN adventure, the freedom of having your own initiative and perspective in the journey and path you walk.

The Elder Scrolls has freedom as the very pedigree of expertise...you start off as an unnamed dude in a prison while the other dudes tell you to go to an immigration office of sorts to do something....like Signing your name, managing your race, your skills, and even your very own birthsign...the factor goes to what YOU choose to be. Even Skyrim (which many people dismiss as bad) still has that essence of freedom (other than being the "DRAGONBORN" and all).

If there's one thing that might be able to hold against the Elder Scrolls...its Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior)..

They're not even on the same page, the stories, characters, soundtrack from ff IV-X are among the best gaming has to offer.

TES Oblivions was great, didn't rly care for Skyrim. FF is definitely better imo, they're stories I often think about and I even played them recently on my ps3 because modern games are pretty bad in comparison to them. They're timeless.

Fallout is the better RPG franchise.

I love both TES and Fallout, Final Fantasy is not really my cup o'tea. I fail to see how the franchises compare though, I think it has quite seperate audiences.

I disagree.  It's a very good game but I think Donkey Kong is the best game ever.

I like Elder Scrolls better, overall. But they are very different games and not even close to the same style of RPG.

Final Fantasy would easily take it based off the early games, but Elder Scrolls consistently puts out good adventure/RPG games that the fans seem to want.

They are both good in different way. The final fanstay gamers are combat focus and the elder scrolls gamers are quests forcus.

The elder scroll games combat suck. There is nothing to them but the basic swing at enemy until it is dead and heal with needed. I am talking about a high level of diffculty too. The final fantasy games have much richer enemies and more deep combat which allows the player more to role play with.

There are more to do in the elder scroll games than combat.

I did enjoy final fantasy games story more too.

I like them both in their own right. I have played games ever since I was kid. I started with an Atari, Went to a Genesis, Playstation, Playstation 2. Gaming became my main hobby in the early 2000's when I received Final Fantasy X for my birthday and picked up Morrowind in the bargain bin at Walmart. After that I was hooked (to say the least) and I have been playing ever since.

I like the open world. Being able to do what you want go anywhere you want. That is available in the Elder Scrolls. That you can combine that classes and creat a sorcerer who is good with a sword.

I like the strategy that and planning that is involved with Final Fantasy.

RPG's are easily my favorite genre. Although some of the games seem to be classified as action adventure.

There is no winner here. It all comes down to personal preferance. I don't like JRPG's, so I never cared for Final Fantasy. I love The Elder Scrolls series though, just amazing games. 

I'll take Final Fantasy over Elder Scrolls.  Just a more memorable series overall.

Apples and oranges but i'd have to go with FF. Best JRPG series ever. 

I prefer Bioware stuff over Elder Scrolls series anyway.

Your question is both badly addressed and always receives an answer based on the views and tastes of the one who answers to it.

You're comparing 2 different games from 2 sub-genres that don't have much in common besides the fact they are RPGs.

There is no better between them, there is just the fact they are different. You're just asking for people's opinions on what they like more.  

I disagree.  It's a very good game but I think Donkey Kong is the best game ever.
