>>3980104No>>3980107NoFor me, maybe not necessarily better but on equal level. Pokemon and Fire EmblemOn individual level none of the games can beat FFVII overall quality, but I'd rather replay some FE games than having to replay FFVII entirely
>>3980099I honestly can't. They got my respect and admiration, even though I'm not the biggest fan.
>>3980119Fire Emblem plays differently, and when the story goes, it is subpar.Pokemon is its own thing. It can't really be compared to.>>3980107First VP game is as GOAT as PS1 era Square games.
>>3980099Does what?
>>3980140Spamming new titles without any consistent setting or continuity?
>>3980119fat virgin post
>>3980452no arguments = troll post
>>3980139Some of the FEs have better story compared to their FF numeric counterparts (e.g. FE1 vs FF1)>Pokemon is its own thing. It can't really be compared to.I don't know that this was a rule.

>>3980598Saga is so phenomenal. Looking at the perfect designs.
>>3980099What does the lifestream even do?
Nothing. Final Fantasy is still the best.
>>3980099SaGa.
>>3980099In what? Gameplay? Plenty of series like Dragon Quest, SMT, and the aforementioned SaGa are better at being RPGs than FF (the last time FF was ever competitive was FFV). In terms of graphics/audio? During its peak, (VI-XIII) nothing was touching it but today FF stopped having the best artists in the industry. Persona, Xenoblade, and even that Frog game Expedition 33 have outshone FF.
>>3981017Keeps the ground fertile.
>>3980099FF has gone downhill since the 00s but it's still miles ahead of all the other trash that's coming out lately.
>>3989916>it's still miles ahead of all the other trash that's coming out latelyGrim. This has to be the worst timeline.
>>3989916>FF has gone downhill since the 00sNot my problem, I dropped the series after 10
>>3989924Yeah, just don't play new RPGs. Western RPGs are absurd reddit slop full of DEI globohomo tomfoolery, and JRPGs are just waifu action games where you jump around spinning your swords really fast and bright. Play RPG from like 80s to early 00s, that was when all the best came out. Nothing good in last twenty years.
