Think im done with Final Fantasy...

    Ever since I played Oblivion, I don't think I could switch back to Final Fantasy. I like the Sandbox effect Oblivion offers. Also any other RPG with the classic combat type "turn" combat system would just bore me.

    Now im looking more into Lair and The white knights story. How about yo guys? Are you drifting away from the older style Rpg's?

I think they are completely different games, Final Fantasy is totally centered on the main story, kind of like a movie, Oblivion is more like an MMORPG.

I like RPG's, not Sandbox medieval adventure games. But thats just me.;)

I hated oblivion so the answer to your poll is yes but the opposite of what I think you intented.  Trying oblivion has just made me realize how much I prefer jrpgs.

I always liked the Oblivion type of RPGs over FF's style that's one reason why I also like MMORPGs a lot because they give that type of freedom and stuff, but FF  is still great.

FF is much more high quality.  I enjoy a game with an intricate story line, well developed characters, and a great battle system, none of which will you find in Oblivion.  Also FF has a whole lot more artistic talent coupled with better programers that really bring the ideas to life.

Dont get me wrong I do like Oblivion, but years down the road I will still remember my favs from the FF series.  Oblivion is a good game that will be forgotten quickly ( in comparrison of course ).

And what you said about turn based boredom.  You must be new to playing Oblivion, cause trust me, you might think its fun now but it gets old real quick.  *run backwards block attack repeat for infinite*. As were FF in comparison requires at least some level of thought and strategy

If you took away the massive map, Oblivion would be a horrible action game and would most likely be considered to broken of a game to sell.  Im not trying to take away from the fact that the sandbox style map is awesome, but thats about it.

Well, if you can't go back to turn base that's okay because there are TWO  final fantasy games coming the PS3s way.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII is an action RPG that will be similar to Kingdom Hearts style gameplay, which means you'd be in full control of your character at all times during battle except maybe for reaction command instances if they implement them in this one *Really hoping they do*

i hated Oblivion. That game has the worst combat system I ever saw. Really hate the first-person hack and slash action. Not my type of RPG.Halukard

that statement and your name made me laugh.... anyway I agree, both oblivion and ff offer differetly to rpgs.

Exactly the same for me.  Personally I can't see how that combat system can be fun and i don't like the graphic style at all either.

its actually quite hard to pin oblivion to rpg as its alot like gta only in the past obviously there is a main story yes but don't have to follow it at all

where final fantasy games follow trhough like a movie from start to the end so its up to what typ eof person you are i like both

i like the stragtic parts of planning a attack against a boos (ff) and i like fighting in the moment (obilvion and sudeki)

Actually Oblivion can be pinned as an RPG because Oblivion follows the same suit as MMOs. An open world where you do a lot of quests and missions and there is a story but it doesn't necessarily have to be followed. The only thing is that Oblivion isn't an MMORPG it's just an RPG.

nah, JRPGs are better at telling a compelling story. Oblivion offers a lot of freedom, but there's too little driving your actions.BenderUnit22

I've "unofficially" been done with FF since FF IX.

I watched my wife play through X and X-2, currently watching her play through FF XII. (I started with FF 1 and she started with VII)

Until Square-Enix proves that they can produce a game that isn't lack-luster then I'll stick to other games.

It has nothing to do with Oblivion, because I've played the Elder Scrolls series without comparing the two. They're really different gameplay wise. It's like comparing NFS and GT or Forza. Both are racing games, but one's arcadey and the others are sims.

Oblivion is an engrossing Role-Playing GAME. FF has an engrossing STORY with J-RPG hair. 

Oblivion is a great game

BUT .... if all the RPG all play like Oblivion .... that would be pretty boring, right?

so~ Final Fantasy still keeps its seat :)

I haven't played Oblivion yet, although I plan on it despite falling asleep while playing Morrowind.

That said, I enjoy the final fantasy series because

-you get to play using a party of different characters

-the game is not in first-person viewpoint

-I could list more reasons but I'm too lazy
