Final Fantasy 10 vs FInal Fantasy 12 which is the better game.

I think ff10 because the story was easier to follow and thier was a love story between the main character tidus and yuna and the music was awesome, the battle system was also better. in ff12 the story was hard to follow , no love story i didnt like the caharacters and the batle system should have been like tales battles sytem if youre going to make a realtime battle system.

To answer the TC question, I believe that FFXII was a better game simply because it just seems more creative, in costumes, characters and the worlds.Click_Clock

But there's no HDR in FFXII 

FFX, no contest.Nex_Ownage

I second that.

Seriously though FFXII is twice as good as FFX.

storyline and original turnbased gameplay just tips the scale

FFXII-Girly man as main character

FFX-Slightly less girly man as main character AND had Auron in it, the most badass RPG character that ever lived.

I guess it's FFX. :P

Don't get me wrong though, I love the Final Fantasy series ever since I first started playing them, but I really wish that Square would stop making such feminine characters just to appeal to the female crowd. I mean, Cloud and Leon were angsty, but at least you could tell they were male.

Is that a joke question or what ? FF10 is like MILES ahead of that crap MMO like FF12, this game was a disgrace to the FF series, not only the worst along with FFX-2, but nothing like older FF's at all

A real garbage making FF look BAD, thank the gods FF13 is beeing made by another team, otherwise would be death for Square and FF

I still try to max all summons in FF10 and beat those arena monsters, on the other hand i totally left FF12 after 100 hours, it just got boring, and after getting the first summon, that you can't control or upgrade, i knew i would never look back in that game

Now, how they did so wrong in 90% of the game, like the summons are crap, the skill system is crap, and the story/videos the worst i have seen, is beyond me

Definitely, I'll agree with you on that, within the FFXII world anyway. Shame, he would've made a cool main character. :D

Definitely. Balthier was always my lead character. Vaan was a little sissy. 

Don't get me wrong.  FF12 was great.

But FFX was very endearing.  The characters were very special.  I like that. 

I think I'm one of the few that didn't love FFX. I mean, it had a great story and I really liked the characters but I found the gameplay to be a bit too linear for my liking.

FFXII was overall the better game. Loved the new battle system and the story is great. The only thing I didn't like too much were the characters. 

I think people like FF10 more because it was more manipulative. It relied on cheesier characters that spilled their hearts out every time they had a chance. The plot was not predictable, but it was formulaic. The storyline was interesting, but not intriguing or even inspiring. There was some good voiceacting on the part of Auron, but generally Tidus was whining the whole way through which was a real turn-off.

What made it even stranger was how every character was clearly there to fill a role. I mean, think about it. I realize the whole "It's my [Tidus'] story" aspect was played up a bit, but the problem with some of the older FFs is that they're stuck on making each of the characters cliche'd companions instead of actual characters in themselves. They provided backstory to make it SEEM like they were rounded or complex, but in the end it really felt shallow. Really what they're doing is simply filling in slots in the party.

That's not to say FFX was bad - actually it was pretty good. But FFXII was interesting in that it didn't focus on prividing that (dare I say it?) emo-Anime feel that sucks so many in. What it did was try to create a continuous, possibly believable, world. The MMO feel that many complain about is a by-product of making the world just so much more "alive". For example, you randomly find other guys (hunters or Clan Members) who are doing their own thing, and perhaps will throw you a heal or help you out on a hunt. When you complete a quest or a hunt, you'll hear people in a nearby city talk about. The whole experience is much more complete and the sheer amount of content is amazing. Yes, the characters aren't as transparent as in FFX, but that's not a bad thing. The fact that you DON'T know everything about them makes them more believable and interesting, as opposed to the stereotyped characters usually scattered throughout the other FFs. Also, their voice acting is just SO MUCH BETTER than FFX's it's not even funny. I know some people might like the anime-style of FFX (sort of...), but FFXII's theater actors were just so much more believable and the writing was almost always superior.

But most people just run the main storyline expecting the same anime-plot progression and character "development" that they're used to. Maybe that's what people like about FF. Maybe that's why everyone bashes FFVIII. FFVIII was the other game that tried to break the limited scope of the franchise and develop the context - the world.

Ok, that was pretty long and most people prolly won't agree, but what the heck. But yeah, I voted for FFXII 8)

Edit: Oh, and the Arabian?/European mix of cultures was just too darn cool. The art style was amazing in my opinion. But to each their own.

I played about 2-3 hours of FF XII and didn't get into it. I played FFX through until Yunalesca (where I got stuck and gave up ha...). FFX just drew me in more from the get go.

The beginning of FFXII has you running around town and then the desert collecting darkness for a gem or something. FFX has the city being attacked by a massive entity, and then had you transported mysteriously 1000 years into the future. AHEM, which is the more interesting set up...

FFXII is actually 5 times better. The story was politically intriguing, the worlds huge, and the fighting and mechanics more creative.

This depends from which perspective you want to look at it. if you are asking me which one IS the better game, its FF XII hands down. Why? Because the game mechanics are so much refined. The battle system, the look and feel of the game is polished. However, I couldn't connect to the story (BTW, connect and understand are two different things).

Now, FF X is the game I personally like better. I liked the story and mood set by the game more than FF XII. FF XII is more impersonal than X IMHO.

no...ummmm... id take squall or sephirothanyday...even the main char from shadow hearts was more badass than auron 

FFXII is better game of the two.

Better balanced gameplay, greater depth in gameplay, better level up mechanics for characters, more organized plot, and more realistic character personalities.

Only thing FFX has better than FFXII is better soundtracks and Yuna.
