The only problem I see with this poll is, I believe a lot more people played FF7 then Fallout II. While I am of course making the assumption that those are only played one game out of the two, are just as likely to still vote.
The thing is im torn on this as im currently playing through fallout II. Hence why I created the thread. carlisledavid79
I havent played FF7 or Fallout 2 for quite a while, both were great but fallout 2 held me for much longer through replaying with different character set ups and different directions in how to play and who to support and do quests for. I only played through FF7 2 and a bit times compared to more than half a dozen characters quite a few of which completed the main quest in fallout 2.
FF7. i dont know why but i could never really get into the fallout games. i didnt like fallout one becuase u were essentially timed (i hate games with a time limit on principal) and fallout 2 never really got my interest. i got them both in an interplay RPG pack years and years ago (along with planescape torment and baldurs gate.....both absolutely crackin games) but the fallout games never really got my interest.
FFVII has that bit where Aeris dies, and Cloud has to work as a male prostitute in order to buy a Phoenix Down, except that he doesn't. Where as the vault dweller would totally have done that, so Fallout 2 wins this for me.
On a side note, I changed the name of the lead character in Final Fantasy VII to McCloud so that I could roleplay as the Highlander, and it totally didn't let me.
Didn't play fallout for long back in the day but are these games really comparable? FF7, theres no way i can someones head miss at point blank range.ChinoJamesKeene
Um you could miss at point blank range in FF7 aswell

But you can defeat four armed soliders with nothing but a two handed sword.
The story was great, there were multiple endings, you could pic/customize/change your character, your actions always effected future events, the TB combat system allowed for much more comprehensive strategy, your team mates were able to maintenance their own inventory fairly well, etc..
Final Fantasy was flashy and repetitive--Like all JRPGs.

yeah but i mean with my gun against the temple of your head during the animation, thats how i remember it anyway. BTW its not being too serious with the reasoning.
Im pretty sure i could take out 4 armed guys with a sword, so D&D got it right.
im a huge fallout fan, but i gotta say that i enjoyed ff7 much more. the fallout series is awesome while ur trying to survive in a post nuclear world with creepy environments and enemies to unravel... but final fantasy had those too minus the nuclear attack, plus a lot of epic adventures, drama, and romance. ff7's story was pure genius!
How the hell are you going to compare one of the most hardcore and indepth WRPG games with the most casual and shallow JRPG games?
See this is the reason why most people think that JRPG's are inferior to WRPG's in gameplay because the JRPG's that are ranked so high tend to be very weak in gameplay.
Oh and yeah Fallout II owns Final Fantasy VII in everyway conceivable.
This is a bit late but I thought I would drop my two cents. Fallout 2 is a much better game because it allows multiple ways to achieve any goal and is not as one person so well put it just an "interactive narrative" it is a true
role playing experience. Also Fallout 2 has a great deal more mature content, which I strongly prefer.
