They are both boring as hell but atleast FF12 is Beautiful. Dark Cloud 2, Kingdom Hearts 1-2, .Hack GU 1-3, PSU are all much better RPG's.

Dragon Quest 8 is a very traditional RPG. However, it is one of my favorite games on the ps2. It has a very old school feel to it. I personally prefer it over final fantasy XII. FF12 is a great game though too. I would say get both and see which one you like better for yourself.

Asking about any FF game will result in scary levels of FF fan-boyism. Just get both and make your own opinion. They both have their strengths and weaknesses and comparing them may be like comparing apples to oranges. Glad to see you got both hopefully you will be pleased by both of the titles.

I'd pick FFXII over DQVIII easily. I've seen DQVIII in action, and I'm just not interested. FFXII was a good game. There are better FF titles, but it was still good :D

If you like a traditional RPG with random encounters and a cute story, and awesome art design..then Dragon Quest 8.

Final Fantasy XII is a step forward, in my opinion, in the Final Fantasy series.

I'd say DQ8 is the 'safe' thing whereas FFXII is a risky one, it's more hit or miss.

I didn't like either of them enough to finish them. If you want a traditional RPG get DQVIII. If you want something different check out FFXII.

Very interesting question.

I'll say DQVIII

Hit or miss. My thoughts exactly

well i plan on playing DQ8 tomorrow as ff12 is just waaaaay to fun...

see the reason im playing my ps2 now is because my 360 got the 3 redlights and i needed something to play so i got out my ps2 and got some games (not expecting much) and now that ive played them i realize why the ps2 is the best system ever. even if the graphics and online are out of date its just an amazing console with the some of the best games of all time

I'd say 100+ easily, assuming you like doing a little sidequesting at least.

FF12 or DQ8?? Depends on the features of RPG's that are most appealing to you. FF12 is cutting edge, but DQ8 is old school. Irrespective of their fundamental differences, Ienjoyed both titles immensely, and would encourage other members totry playing either ofthesegames beforewastingmorebandwith space on GameSpot servers.

Agreed. FFXII has an innovative gameplay style while DQVIII is the ultimate traditional RPG.

I'd go with FFXII for sure... I hated DQ8.. I mean HATED. Which I find pretty surprising since most of my favorite games are old school rpgs.

These two RPGs are really different. FFXII's battles are in real-time while Dragon Quest VIII is turn-based. Basically, pick FFXII if you want a faster paced combat system, or pick DQ for a slower one.
