Tales

Tales of Phantasia

Tales of Destiny

Tales of Symphonia

Tales of Legendia

Tales of the Abyss

yup it beats Final Fantasy completely

I cant wait for Namco's Tales Announcements at E3, there is a rumor going around by IGN that they will announce Tales of Symphonia 2

and ToS was better than FFX

Well definitely not by score so it is just your opinion. And with JRPGs prettymuch anything half-decent could be someone's favorite because they all follow a format and the story and mechanics of each will appeal to different people.

The Tales series is pretty awesome, true, but personally I prefer the Shin Megami Tensei series. Both beat the heck out of most FF games IMO, at least in terms of gameplay elements.

Never got into the Tales series. The greatest JRPG series was Shining Force, until Sega decided they needed to change the game.

Not a fan of JRPGs, although Legend of the Dragoon (or was it Legend of Dragoon?)was pretty good.

Hmm, I were not a fan of FF-games before FF12. That games had a really fun battle-system, even if it was kinda turnbased it was still real-time.

I like Tales of.. games too, but I think Abyss had a boring story so I'm gonna stay away from those games until they get a really good review.

IMO, FF>>>>Tales

Someone please explain the fascination with SMRPG. I mean, it was pretty good, but it was way too short, way too easy, and way too shallow. If you include Paper Mario into the mix, it's a better series, but against the heavy-hitters? Nah.

The Tales series is great, but who can deny FF? The whole series is amazing, I must of spent hundreds and hundreds of hours playing those games.

Final Fantasy has the longevity, the sales, the scores, and the fanbase. It is by all merits the best JRPG series out there. A Final Fantasy game may not be the best JRPG game out there but it is definately the best JRPG series.

I dislike FF. It has deluded the minds of reviewers and created a Square prompted massive underrating of thousands of fantastic JRPGs like Lunar, Suikoden, Wild Arms, and Shadow Hearts that by all accounts actually attempted to revitalize the genre.

Chrono having 2 makes it a series. Trigger's terrible sequel Cross has a 10/10 so that makes Trigger sitting at around 12/10, Chrono wins.

Its still the best SERIES out there. Although the FF games are few amongst my favorite RPGS out there.

Two games or Twelve games. You take your pick. Even though Chrono Trigger is better then all FF's and tied with FFVI in my books.

The funny thing is that Tales of Phantasia and FF VI were the two best snes rpgs. I'd actually argue that Tales was better. The ones after that were all worse, though still really fun. I look forward to the next Tales series.

Thats because FF has a nearly limitless budget. It also is extremly overrated, people will rated 9+ just because it has final fantasy on it. And because it is so overrated many peope wont even know about any other JRPGS=Tales has a smaller budget.
