Both of them are well known and no doubt popular series especially in Japan but which one do you prefer and why?

Overall, Final Fantasy is the better series imo, but I'd place my experience with Persona 2 IS above some Final Fantasy games, like X.

I think a better comparison would be Shin Megami Tensei and Final Fantasy. Regardless, my choice would be Shin Megami Tensei/Persona.

The persona titles are good, but i prefer final fantasy.

Why? Because FF9 captivated me like no other game has.

FF, only because alot of the persona games require you to be prepared ahead of time but they never tell you what to prepare for so if you go into the battle with the wrong setups then you WILL lose. In FF it helps alot to be buffed against enemies/bosses but its generally not a requirement and some are so open ended with the strategies that you can change them on the fly if needed.

I've only played Persona 4, its a great game but i still like FFIX more then it, and there are many more FF games to choose from so its pretty easy to say FF wins hands down for me.

Old school final fantasy is great. But lately they've been killing it with stupid characters, badly conceived storylines and ridiculous japanese "outrageous" humor. It makes me sad.

I prefer Shin Megami Tensei as a whole to Final Fantasy. Just something about the tone and sense of style that makes it appeal to me more than FF does.

Old FF titles > Old Megami Tensei titles.

New FF titles < New Megami Tensei titles.

I've played more FF games than Megaten games, so I'm inclined to go with FF, but Megaten is starting to surpass them IMO.

FF games were good up until 10 after that they have been on the decline. Persona 4 on the other hand shocked the hell out of me by how good the storyline and characters were developed. **** ive replayed the entire game over 5 times in one year because of how amazing the game was. Its easily one of the best RPG franchises out there currently and if Persona 5 does get released next year, ill have to pick it for best RPG over FF

I enjoyed Persona 2,3 FES,4 over most of the FF titles. But I do find the FF series to better over all.

I like both series. Although I prefer FFVI-FFX more than Persona. I prefer Persona 1-4 way over FFX-2 and FFXII. :P

Final Fantasy VI is probably my favorite game of all time, but Persona 3 and 4 take slots 2 and 3 (unfortunately, I've never gotten my hands on any copy of 2 D:).

I've... semi lost interest in Final Fantasy since VI though. They've taken too many turns toward drama and sob stories, whereas Persona... well. Persona's got style. It stands out in a sea of high fantasy RPGs. It's ultra modern, sleek, and it's got personality.

That, and it's got the best freaking soundtracks ever.

Persona has alot of cheap instant deaths. Whenever the enemy gets the initial hit there is like a 30% chance all 4 enemys do a spell that hhits all 4 of your partymembers for 30% damage and then there is the knockdown mechanic giving the enemy double turns while you are forced to skip one.

Good storys but the combat gets very cheap and plain unfair at times cant count the amount of instant deaths ive had from full hp in that game without any form of user interaction possible.

Tough one. I like the SMT franchise over the FF franchise, but I don't know if I like the Persona series more than FF. Both are excellent though. I'd probably choose FF just because FFX is my favorite game ever. Persona 4 is only my second favorite of all-time :lol:

*sigh*

Persona is not a dating sim, I-I just always love your comments.

Anyways, I guess Persona because I like Dungeon Crawling.

Yea I bet you've never played a Persona title. Only P3 and P4 had dating sim elements and they really didn't get in the way of the RPG elements in the game.
