Final Fantasy vs. Dragon Quest: Which Legendary JRPG Is Right for You?

Square Enix's iconic JRPGs, Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, are quite different, and they'll appeal to different gamers for various reasons.

Always been more a Dragon Quest fan personally. DQVIII is still probably my all time favourite JRPG.

I’m more of a Final Fantasy guy, I like how all of the FF games do something new and different with the gameplay.

I feel like dragon quest is to safe and familiar in gameplay. But, I can still fully play them so that’s not really an issue

I like both

Why downvote ? Lol I like both of them . Final Fantasy had a couple less than stellar games but overall I really enjoyed 1-12 tactics crystal chronicles co op with my son and even the very hard to find your way gameboy games , that desert still haunts me . DQ has had less controversy overall and I like every main game made but FF also has some great games . XIII wasn’t bad just not very good for a FF but it was well made and 15 was good not great (could have been with better development cycle) but I love the rest of them from 1-12 and 14 is awesome too . DQ is a great series and I love it just as much so I can’t pick really . FF has had controversy but DQ also had smaller games on handheld and some not so great spin-offs but they each have some awesome games that I’ll never forget playing . Why do I have to pick one? I love RPGs in general especially JRPGS since I was very young playing DQ1 also known as Dragon Warrior and FF1 back on NES . I’ve been hooked since those games and Faxanadu and the rest of the early RPGs on NES and I’ve played so many since then . I can’t pick because I’ve grown up with both of the franchises and both have had ups and downs but I don’t care I still love them they started my love for RPGs . I don’t care who downvotes me but I can honestly say I love both and I’m sure many people do and some can’t pick one over the other and don’t understand why you would be downvoted for liking both equally . Now if you picked specific games maybe I could pick but as franchises overall it’s hard for me to try and choose so I don’t I just pick both .

Final Fantasy all the way for me.
