You can't get much cooler action that GOW. But FFXII rocks as well, but if you want free flowing, non-stop, heart pounding, action....than GOW ftw!

Final Fantasy XII is better than God of War. God of War is over rated garbage.

This is stupid.

How the flying **** can you even compare the two games. One is an action game and the other is a RPG. Stop playing video games and make yourself smarter TC.

Your right they are apples and oranges.  So if you were starving and had an apple and an orange in front of you which would you choose.  GOW is the apple, FFXII the orange.  FFXII you have to peel the skin, but is very refreshing in the middle.  GOW you can bit right away and enjoy.  I started playing GOW but I have an older version PS2 and there is a glitch so I cannot contiue with the games.  sucks for me. So I choose the orange. Very sweet and tasty.

I didn't like the analogy until you presented it that way. Very nice.

Well obviously there are people that hate FFXII and love GoW just cuz they love gore and don't like RPGs. But I'd say FFXII is better for it's genre than GoW is. The combat in GoW is pretty lame. Sure it looks awesome but there really isn't any depth to it. I do prefer FFXII over GoW as a game though but if it were FFXII VS. DMC3 I'd pick DMC3.

Yes. Have you played God of War? This is not just a mindless action game where you hack things to pieces or a gorefest as someone above tried to belittle it.

Kratos is a true anti-hero and his story is well told and well paced throughout the game. At first he may seem shallow, but as you go on you see the true reason for his rage and that there is a part of him in every strike he makes. There is also sorrow. He fights not for the sake of fighting, or even for revenge, but for hope.

RPGs are not inherently better than action games as some people would have you believe. Storylines aren't what make games fun to play. I've played several games with great storylines but gameplay that couldn't cut it. (Rule of Rose is the best example) and I've played my fair share of crappy RPGS that get way too much credit.

Simple fact is that there is a lot more to God of War than blood and gore, and (mistakenly) button mashing controls.

I say, play what you're in the mood for.  Want fast paced action? Play GoW.  Want something slower and bigger to sink your teeth into?  Play XII.

Personally, I own both and like both for what they are... Great games.

GOW is an action game, while FF XII is a RPG game. You can't throw them in same bag. Both are good games but play differently. 8)

How can you compare two completely different types of games? Both are great in their own way. If given a choice, I'll pick FFXII because its simply lasts much longer.

Tough question since they're 2 differnt kinds of games.
But technically imo, GoW is the better game.  FF XII is one of the best RPG's on the PS2, but GoW is THE BEST action/adventure game pretty much ever for any system.
GoW will be the more remembered of the two.

FFXII have the worst story. The story is incredibly boring and predictable. Characters are unlikable and boring with no real dept in personality. All characters have the same skill set. The Gambit system ruin the game. FFXII is very disappointing to me as a long time FF fan. It's overrated.
GoW is a very good action game but it is pretty short and the combat system can get a little repetitive.

how could you compare Final Fantasy XII with God of War, I mean, c'mon. Anyways, I'd pick Final Fantasy XII over God of War any day, just so much more content. Although I liked GoW for one play-through and never touched it again.

you'll get more hours of gameplay out of FF XII but to me god of war is more fun than the final fantasy games.  Its a lot more than just button smashing, you have to think and GOW still provides you with a good story.  Go with GOW

Yes I have. I own it actually. I've played through a couple times. First time through I thought it was amzaing, but then after playing it over, I realized how cliche and over rated it was.

First: There's a reason cliches are cliche. They work. Aslo, the game pays homage to Greek mythology if you didn't notice. Like Kratos killing is family by mistake. That might seem cliche to you , but its a reference to Hercules going crazy and doing the same thing in mythology.

Second: Maybe it is overated, but its hardly garbage, and to call it garbage with some of the crap that is out there today invalidates your opinion.
