I think it depends on what organization is giving the award.



Final Fantasy has a huge fanbase and is multi platform so it can have a larger pool of voters. It really depends on if the story is any good ( for an FF game that is).



I'm guessing that ME2 will pull off the victory but it will not be a landslide. Unless ME2s story is truly epic and FFXIIIs story is complete garbage.

final fantasy ofcourse, they have the best story in their games and the best in-game movies plus the females characters always look so cute or sexy gotta love it, so it will definetly be better than mass effect 2...(I am jk ofcourse, Mass effect 2 all the way, though final fantasy is also good enough)

I'm glad you were joking. At first I was thinking of very imaginative ways to kill you.

lol nah i definetly prefer mass effect 2, its more of my style

[jakl201]

I'm glad to hear that.

[jakl201]

It would still win.

There's an in depth arguement on the other page. Read it!

No doubt FFXIII looks GORGEOUS, but it's kinda like the supermodel of videogames. Looks good but dumber than a bag of hammers.

ME2, then again I am biased, I despise JRPGs

[It IS Lupus]

i Honestly will have to wait to see what FF13 is like, I love both series ME2 is going to be epic and so will FF13 i didnt like the direction 12 took. so i'm saving my reservations till FF13 comes out.

[Godzilla vs Xenu]

I think it is going to be widely acknowledged that FF doesn't even come close to the emotional impact of ME2, and two reviewers I rather trust have said it's the best looking game they've seen on the 360, and both have already played the import version of FF and from what they did say, they were not gushing about FF in the same way they were about ME2 in general. So I'm fairly sure it's going to be ME2.

i love both mass effect and final fantasy but final fantasy comes first for me

[jakl201]

For me, final fantasies (and JRPG's in general) fail to connect me with the protagonist or even the situation as a whole. I really can't connect with a sixteen year old girly man with a half shirt showing off his belly button. 'They make you cry' and blah blah, in the end I cannot believe any of the characters are real, just really pretty mannequins talking.

nooooo poor cookies you meanie:) anyhoo i guess ill have to wait to play both before making my decision as they are my most anticipated ya hoo:D

[Time Well Spent]

Can't believe Square Enix sold out and got Leona Lewis on the soundtrack of FF13. The game will still be great but will not arguably be a new start for the ageing franchise, which hasn't been the same since X. Also, I prefer Mass Effects story and tone.

The entire FF series has sucked. FFIX was the only one I kinda liked. VII? B*tch dies. Wah. VIII? Who cares about VIII. You know what, I could go on, but the fail of the FF series isn't something I want to go in depth about.

Comparing Bioware (or Western RPG's for that matter) to JRPG's is like comparing a mature, thought out novel to a coloring book. No story, characters are two dimensional (Yes, your a duck with a helmet. Go die.). But at least there are pretty pictures.

Have you really played the entire FF series? I doubt it because if you had you would'nt of only mentioned IX, VII and VIII hell you may not even of mentioned them.You sound like nothing more than a JRPG hater or rabid fanboy, take you pick.

Yeah, I've played...not I or II (I don't think. Is IV really II? F*cking numbering). You can sit there and say it was great back in the day, but truth is nowadays they aren't worth sh*t. 'Oh look, another androgenous whiny amnesiac is going to save the world! Yay...and what the hell's the point of them anyways? Let's take the moral of FFX: If you try and follow the path of your gone, dead beat dad, he'll come back from the future as a monster that'll destroy everything, until you destroy him and cease to exist cause your a dream in some frozen dudes in a wall. ...Well, I will definately not try and emulate MY parents now. Ugh.

And for those who say they created the Role play genre, that actually is referring to Might & Magic, a game that japanese LOVE over there (they still make games following that same premises). That's why you see a lot of D&D elements in JRPG's.

I misguged you, you have my apologies. However i still don't see why people insisit on comparing the two, they're differnt genere. I'll be the first to admit that JRPG's havent had anything major in decade's, where as western RPG's namely ME have been revolotionary.

Don't worry about it, I tend to not explain myself well and come off as an ass. It's kinda cool.

Weird thing about the whole 'genre' thing though is that back in the day they were just called RPG's. But then Bethesda and Bioware start pumping out big hits suddenly there's 'JRPG' and 'Western RPG'. Weird.

The whole "jrpg" and "wrpg" sectionalism thing kind of gets on my nerves...  yes it is weird, infact, it's kind of offensive alot of the times.

How is it offensive? They are distinguished from each other because RPGs created by Japanese developers like Square Enix have distinct recognizable features which generally differ from RPGs developed in the west. I can guarantee that if you asked any experienced gamer to play 10 RPGs, five of which were developed in Japan and five from the west, he/she would be able to easily distinguish which were JRPGs and which were western RPGs. JRPGs up to this point have followed a pretty traditional format that is easily recognizable in terms of look, feel, game mechanics, etc.

anything turnbased i turn away from and never look back.

its a video game, not a board game.

[rabidhanar]

I believe I would like ME2 more, it has a better fighting system, I hate waiting for the opponent or my attack bar to attack, If I had my way I would rush every enemy with a ton of attacks. Final Fantasy has it's place, sells PS3's pretty well as did MGS4, but it is not as much fun to me. Frankly I liked ME better than any final fantasy game created at this moment in time.



Also, what is with Japan and choosing Emo or feminate protagonists for its games. I want to know that my character is a guy from the first glance I get of him.

[Borschtbeet]

Simply put, Bioware is the new Squaresoft.



Final Fantasy XIII is going to blow just as every other Final Fantasy game has before it after VII.



I don't hate JRPGs though. Problem with Final Fantasy is that they try to be more like interactive movies.

I'll throw FFXIII in a paint can and pick up Dragon Quest IX instead.

[quartzedge]

I have never, and shall never, categorize those two games together. Mass Effect is an RPG/Shooter hybridization...and it is so incredibly different from Final Fantasy that I can't really compare them. The only thing they share is a storyline and character development. That's...pretty much it.



As for RPG of the Year? Careful, there may be some sleeper hits later this year that shock everyone, like Alpha Protocol. And Fallout: New Vegas is due out this year, as well. However, ME2 does have massive appeal (especially since they have improved nearly every aspect of ME1) and may win it easily outside of Japan. But watch out for more JRPGs; some of them are still good and have massive followings. Just look at Demon's Souls.

[Aristorum]

I love Final Fantasy but they've been dishing out the same thing for years now. Mass Effect still has that "OOOH! New!" feel to it, so I'm more inclined to pick up Mass Effect 2 as opposed to FFXIII.

[jakl201]

Honestly, if I can't tell from a glance that the main character is a man (or woman), I turn away from it now.



As for Alpha Protocol, I dunno. I was looking forward to it, but then they push it back eight months without telling anyone. At first it was "ZOMG MUST HAVE!!" Now it's 'meh'. And New Vegas is being done by the same company, so...I dunno what to think. I think Obsidian has gotten too much work on it's plate.
