Final Fantasy Series Vs. The Legend of Zelda Series

[Devia Eleven]

It might not be an RPG, but it has RPG like elements.

Finally someone speaks the truth.

 

Well it's true. RPGs rely on statistics, which Zelda doesn't. You can almost run through the whole game just having your sword and shield and 3-5 hearts.

 

If this ain't proof that you're a load of crap then I don't know what else will.

[JKKDARK]

Final Fantasy, because I love RPGs

Then tell me genius, or do I have go as low as you and call you a faggot?

[OverlordMondo]

Zelda has zero RPG elements. Not one. It's action adventure. The game focuses on puzzle solving and killing things in generic action game style. I'm interested in hearing where in this game there is anything similar to an RPG.

[Lucandrake]

You can claim that , Ruppee's = Gil. Talking to Villagers with Chat Boxes for hints = RPG Element. Items and Weapons, etc...

 

But then that would make games like DMC an RPG...which is a HackNSlash.

 

That would also mean that Sonic The Hedgehog (360) is an RPG, but it's an action/adventure...

 

You could go on....

I agree.

 

But

 

Virtually all games (bar sports games maybe) have RPG elements, but having these elements doesn't make them RPGs. What makes an RPG is the inclusion of a dedicated character stats system. Zelda doesn't have stats, and neither do a plethora of other games - but they still have some RPG elements.

Hold your horses. There's no need to take it to the next level. This is just a simple discussion.

[fumanchu]

neither of them,i just find this genre of game completely boring and pointless.

[Skythe]

I'm not saying the LoZ series is a full RPG but they do have aspects of them that everyone refuses to acknowledge because you don't physically see your stats or get experience points from defeating enemies or that it's not turned based. That basing a game if it's an RPG off those criteria is retarded.

 

RPGs rely on statistics

 

This is what I was referring to as being a load of crap.

[Samurai Edge]

I would say Final Fantasy. I never really liked Zelda since there are lots of puzzles to solve. I like such games but I seriously suck at them.
