Somehow, I think I know what the result is going to be already, but I am a masochist I guess. My vote goes to Dragon Quest. The games are usually higher quality than Final Fantasy. And the new Final Fantasies just plain suck.

on 8 bit nes days I would have said dw but since then my vote goes to ff. dw 3 and 4 were awesome back then and us english speakers never had the oppertunity to play ff2 and 3 on the nes. There are a lot of good ff games and final fantasy derivatives. (IE tactics, mana series). I liked 7 and 9 on the ps1 too.

I really like all the FF's I've played. Admittedly, there have been niggling points that annoy me:
FF4: Too freaking hard! I've never got past that damned elf.
FF5: Off the top of my head none, I probs just haven't played it enough.
FF6.... Acutaly can't think of any :emb:
FF7: The way the characters changed from being Kawaii to proportional at vaious points throught the game. The rest was rockin tho.
FF8: The entire %$"&*(! magic system really annoyed me. I cheated to complete it and got more enjoyment out of it that way.
FF9: Little too easy, and a slightly more that usually predictable plotline.
FF10: The fact that you can kill the final boss in one hit if your characters are powerfull enough.
I never really go into the Dragon Quest games to be honest.

I like Dragon Quset/Dragon Warrior a lot, but it just can't surpass the FF series. So I voted for FF. But over in Japan, the Dragon Quest series is w-a-a-a-y more popular that the FF series. People were getting held up and mugged for the latest Dragon Quest games when they came out. BTW, I'll take care of the //s for you.

Yeah, I thought the poll would go like this. We need some more Japanese people in here. ;)

Dragon Quest 5 and 6 are where it's at though. I find the games to be MUCH better than the Final Fantasy equivalents, and since FF4, and FF6 were always my favorites, the vote had to go to DQ.

sx/amiga, thanks for taking out the //s.

Dragon Quest games kick @$$ but because of FF4-6 I would have to side with FF's... if you had omitted even just FF6 I would have sided with DQ...

Snake there is an option there for you... do you not see the "what's dragon quest" option?

DQ is varying storyline throughout each game... I haven't played 7 but I heard it was a tad repetitive.

Try erasing the ' after the slash.

I just have one other Dragon Quest story to tell though. In Japan, Dragon Quest games are required to come out on weekends. The reason is that many people skip school/jobs/etc. in order to wait in line to get a copy. You don't see that with Final Fantasy.

Orien, calling people morons for expressing their opinions is not acceptable to me. WATCH IT! The poll will end when it ends or when everyone tires of it and not before.
Also, since I find calling others morons unacceptable, I edited it out of your post. Don't put it back.:mad:
