Wich is better? FF X or FF XII?

[MaxCrisis]

I personaly think FF X is better, becouse XII...well...I dunno, turn base RPG is more my style I think ^^;;

[Mune]

Story, X.(XII's characters didn't develop well)
Gameplay, XII.(X, had turn base...not active with atb like the rest of the FFs. XII you could see your enemies approach you)
Graphics, X.(XII wasn't too flashy. Some of the areas were kinda weird)
Fun Factor, XII.(X had too many tedious sidequests)
Non-Tediousness, X.(XII had that Zodiac Spear...which you only knew about if you read the guide or had help. You opened one treasure you weren't supposed to, no Zodiac Spear for you! How would anyone know without a guide?)

In the end, I'd go XII. But, I'd never consider playing through either again due to how long they are and how much other crap goes along with it(sidequests) I liked the new feel of XII's battle system. Seeing enemies before they attack and what they are using.

I think FFXII is the best FF around, while FFX is the worse, so it's clear for me lol

FFXII is bassically a offline gameplay of the ffxi XD i loved FFXII even to some of the side quests(hunts) are extremelly hard even with zodiac spear.

The sidequests are only hard in XII if you're under leveled...or just can't handle the battle system... I'm not even lv 80 yet, and I only have the Yaizamat hunt left. I can even hold my own against him...that's even funnier.

X has the sphere grid, which I believe is way harder to deal with. The battle arena is way harder than anything in XII, even with everything done, including filling in every empty node and luck node with something else, like something more useful.

If you like X's battle system, and don't mind leveling up a lot, try something like either Disgaea or Phantom Brave...

I like ATB and XII has a more realistic enemy encounters.

FFXII for the graphics

FFX for the story, I just thing FFXII story line a little bit complicated with less romance.

FFX for the battle system, whatever peoples say, I still like old time ATB system rather than semi online game battle system that FFXII use.

It's all a matter of personal preference I think. Some people will enjoy X more than XII and others will enjoy XII more than X. I don't think one's really "better" than the other. They're just different.

My preference lies with FFX, mostly due to the romance (yes I'm a romantic, and a hopeless one at that) and just because I had a bit of a hard time adjusting to FFXII's battle system. They did some great things with XII but sometimes you just wanna stick to the basics. NOTHING beats FFIII/VI IMO (III and VI are the same game for those who might not know, just a remake, at least for us North Americans anyway, I believe III in Jap was perhaps different?).

I agree its a preference thing, I must say that I loved X because of its impact on my life (lol first time I saw the greatness of Final Fantasy..I lived a sheltered life)
but the graphics on XII blew me away. I would say i prefer XII more but X is right behind it.

maybe X because the storyline is great and its so dramatic

FFX is way better
