When it comes to role playing games they don't get much bigger than Final Fantasy or Zelda, except for Pokemon but I have decided not to compare that. While Final Fantasy rules the Playstion world with it's long puzzling adventures that are spread over several disk, the Zelda series is busy dominating the Nintendo world. Final Fantasy uses things like random battles that you can't actually see coming, but if you win one you are rewarded with experience points to try and build up you characters level. Zelda on the other hand has a singel character called Link that doesn't level up he just gets more energy hearts, also link can see all of the enemys he has to fight and can use this to his advantage and choose to avoid most of them. As you will probably know in Final Fantasy you control a team of three characters where as in the Zelda series the only character you control is Link.

Both the Final Fantasy and Zelda games proved to be very popular with the fans of their respective consoles but my question to you is who is the true role playing game masters.
Would you choose Final Fantasy over Zelda?
Would you choose Cloud and the gang over Link?
Would you choose Square over Nintendo?

Remeber there is no need for argument just simply state your opinion. Well ok then if you want to argue who am I to stop you, I'm just a stick. Let the argument begin.

Your better off asking Hooplah about the Baldurs Gate question, but i don't think he is online at the moment.

Zelda is a far better looking game, and has a lot of history, like the Final Fantasy series. I like the FF games, but they just seem to be churned out, at the expense of graphics, although they are very long.

Square over Nintendo? Stupid question. Nintendo kick Squares butt - Although i do like Square.

Baldurs Gate is an excellent game - A few annoying things, but a good game - is the sequel any good?

Zelda wins - Due to the all-roundness of it.

LPG stands for Liquid Propane Gas.

This is of course very different to RPG, which stands for Role Playing Game.

I suppose it might be. It depends on how you interpret the title of the thread. Stick474 will have to answer that. From the initial post content I thought he was asking which of the two titles was the better RPG, hence the general ‘Is Zelda an RPG’ discussion.
