This or God of War Ragnarok?

[Hyperion]

I'm thinking of getting one of these, and since they are similar genres, I wanted to ask. By the way, I've never played a Final Fantasy game before.

Ragnarok. It has a better combat system, level design, and overall production values. I don’t think Ragnarok’s story is as effective as GoW18, but I’d say it’s on-par with this games story.

FF16 or FF15 or FF12.

Which one? Or get 12 and 15 and wait on 16 for a sale?

I say go with Final Fantasy XVI since God of War Ragnarok is kinda the same formula as the last God of War, whereas you have the chance to experience something completely different and unique. The real time combat in FFXVI is a big highlight and the story is quite good as well. And another great thing about FF games in general is that you won't have to play any previous FF games to know the story or catch up to things since almost all the games in the series are self-contained story.

Also you'll easily get your money's worth as FFXVI is a meaty 40-60 hours in length full of content, unique and varied monsters to fight and explore some amazing jaw-dropping environments. If you like this game, I believe it'll be a good entry for you so you can try out other FF games down the line.

GOWR easily. Its combat is unmatched for a SP story RPG

FF16 isnt "like other FF games". So not knowing how the others work wont have any effect. But also dont assume the rest of the series is like this either.

FF always changes in setting, character style, and tone. But the gameplay has always been more turn based RPG, or faster turn based RPG. More recently its been Action-RPG with 15 and the 7 Sequels, but 16 is mainly Action without the RPG.

both are good games. but if you have only the money for 1 game, then choose FF XVI and don't support Ragnarök which is influenced heavily by Sweet Baby Inc.

The spectacle fights in this put anything GoWR has in the dirt. The story is more satisfying and the combat is marginally more fun.
They are both 6/10 games at best tho.

Buy this instead of God of War.
Final Fantasy is one of the best gaming series in gaming history

15's story is kinda subpar and meh as the game had some bad development cycle leaving it unfinished towards the end. 12 is good but you may find the game a bit too old for modern taste. 16 is your best option here. Or you can also go with FF7 Remake which is also one of the best FF games out there.

Why not both.

[CH13F]

honestly? both.

Both can wait for the discount. They aren't new, and there is no reason to play them right now unless you really have nothing to play.
