So which style of RPGs do you prefer?

Personally, I like both of them. However, 2-D games still hold a bit more strength from me. There are some things that games loose when going to 3-D. I have yet to find better faces than those from Fire Emblem 6,7,8.

Actually, 3-D ones had not even come into the picture until recently. Reading about Ike has really sparked my interest in Fire Emblem 9 (BTW, I am not including the Paper Mario/Mario & Luigi as 3-D). In addition, one series I have shied away from is once again garnishing attention: Final Fantasy. There seems to be some rich characters in the series, which is the #1 thing I look for. However, I don't like the summoning, etc. So, is there a good FF game that is light on the summoning and magics? I have gotten a few reviews from others, but the more I get the better. Also, portability is a bonus for me.

Enough ranting. What is your favorite type of RPG (2D vs. 3D) (standard vs. strategy may be a later blog)?
