Bioshock or Final Fantasy?

Are you talking about Final Fantasy as a series or a specific one?

Wow, that question actually stumped me. Darn, I think I'd have to say Final Fantasy because obviously they have more games in the series. Bioshock is in it's own league. That was the first game I played that actually had me in suspense in the story. Meanwhile in Final Fantasy, the story is just too well written, it almost gives that realistic effect to some extent, but that's just me.

How are Final Fantasy games being long a bad thing? Do you have an attention span about 6 hours long at most? Aren't people always **** about how games are too short? Jesus. Make up your mind people.

Have you never played an RPG (or JRPG) before? People dish out anywhere from 40 - 300 hours on those type of games. Just because a game is long doesn't mean it's a borefest.

Oh ok then. I don't think I'm allowed to have an opinion then because I've only played the demo of Bioshock. I'll pick it up someday.

hands down final fantasy.

smt nocturne is better than final fantasy

I'd have to say FF VII (choosing one because you didn't specify), its the most popular one and the story is great. Its probably the most popular RPG of all time, and despite Bioshock doing so many great things, FF VII is classic. I love Bioshock so much, and its definitely going down in history as one of the best games ever, but FF as a series has done too much.

Cmon Bioshock had a deep, haunting and amazing story that kept you glued till the very end.

As for FF, I really dunno.

FFX is my favorite game of all-time so I give the edge to FF there, but BioShock was amazing. I've never seen an FPS deliver that kind of story. The gameplay was great and the whole atmosphere really draws you into it. It really kept me hooked. It's definitely one of my top 3 games this gen. (along with MGS4 and Fallout 3).

I've never played a Final Fantasy game but I have played BioShock so I will say BioShock.chathuranga

Well there are currently 12 Final Fantasy games (not counting the spin-offs). So it's going to be kinda hard to argue either way. You might want to specify.

Final Fantasy by far. FF7 was an epic game

I love how you haven't actually answered the question while you are complaining about other people's responses. Cyberirony is safe and impersonal.

As for me I have played FF IV, VII, VIII, IX, X and XII and Bioshock and would have to lean towards the Final Fantasy franchise, only because the emotional scope is broader in FF. In Bioshock you are scared and angry. This happens all the time in FF, however you are also overjoyed, curious, ambitious, greedy, in love, in hate, jealous, proud.. etc. etc. Just more going on.

But come on.. the FF series is like 500 hours long back to back.. more if you dig in.

I'm going with Bioshock, it is one of my favorite games.

Wow, to each their own... I can understand not liking a genre...i can't stand twitch based shooters like halo and gears...oh wait...maybe it's just xbox games i can't stand....lol. Anyway, have you ever tried a rpg? If you havent' you should try a game like Demon's Souls, when it comes out, its not a traditional jrpg and you can play it like an adventure game...it's like monster hunter mixed with shadow of the collouasas with a gothic demonic atmosphere. then there's fallout 3 you can play it like a shooter if you want to.... but it has great story..Midnightshade29

Nope, never tried playing a RPG. I don't like games like Halo, Gears, Resistance, or Killzone, either (Or FPS games in general except of course BioShock). Not a big fan of going around as space marines shooting aliens.

Both of them are nearly completely different, one is part horror and action while the other is a pure RPG. IMO, Bioshock is better.

Easiley Final Fantasy, bioshock is good but Final Fantasy is much better.

I really don't see bioshock lasting for another 15 titles and a couple a hundred spin offs, I can however see Final Fantasy doing another 15 titles with a couple a hundred more spin offs.

Earlier FF games > Bioshock

Bioshock > Later FF games

Bioshock was a fun game, but I enjoyed the Final Fantasy series far more.

I liked Bioshock, but Final Fantasy will always be on top for me.

I only played FF7 but i much prefer Bioshock.

I've never played a Final Fantasy game so Bioshock win by default. Though I think it would regardless, the Final Fantasy series looks too girly.

Final Fantasy would win by default. There have been way more games in the series than there has been for bioshock. People claimingthey haven't played Final Fantasy really have no right to comment.Just like I don't have the right to comment either since I haven't played Bioshock.

Bioshock is way better

hands down final fantasy.
