Most people i've asked have said they like Zelda better but I think FF is more harder and has much better storylines and gameplay.

In every FF theres always good characters and each FF has a totally different storyline the the previous. Im not a great fan of FF and have never completed one but I think i've played enough to know what im talking about.

Zelda is just average to me. This is probably why I don't have a Gamecube. The Zelda storylines aren't wonderful, just like fairy tales really and the characters aren't that great either.

Which one do you like better?

Resi 4's a whole new bag, baby.
Best game for years.

Say ... Devil May Cry? Prince of Persia? Viewtiful Joe? Any beat em' ups? First-person shooters?

Anything not an RPG with fighting in it?

Never been a fan of Resi's control system so wouldn't buy it because of that and games like Onimusha i stay well clear of

Well, combat like that usually does suck in RPGs.
But I was on about non-RPG games - you wouldn't buy, say, Resi 4 because of the combat?

Well for me it makes me less enthusiastic to get it. There has only been a few games with that combat i have enjoyed (Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, YS and a couple of others) i just don't happen to find the system enjoyable

Does that immediately discount any game with any form of combat in it that's not stratergized?

No i'm a strategy RPG junkie. I just can't stand the hack 'n' slash gameplay, just my preference, the fact i like turn based and strategy combat has nothing to do with it. I'd still hate the gameplay if those two systems weren't around

Hmmm ... seems you're talking about Zelda without having a real clue about what's going on.

You play as Link, always have - green-garbed fairy boy.
The series is called Zelda after the Princess Zelda.

It's always been a bit strange to call it the Legend of Zelda when she's not even the main character (doesn't even appear in some of them). But it's just one of those things.

You are a bit of a turn-based junkie, though.
It doesn't really bother me - makes things much more exciting most of the time.

I don't think Zelda is over-rated, Strid. OoT is easily one of the best games of all time. That's just a fact - it's just wonderful.

Can't wait for the new one.
Give me a choice between FF12 and New Zelda, and it's gonna be Zelda no competition.

When you play Zelda, do you play as Link or do you play as Zelda? Because on Super Smash Bros they have Zelda but his name is Link.
