How about asking us what the best gaming series is apart from FF and Zelda?

 

Because most regulars to the site will moan asking where FF and Zelda are.

Too many duds?? There's not a single bad game in the FF main series. Granted, X-2 was balls, but from 3 onwards (perhaps with the exception of X. In the Zelda series theres only 2 games I've really really enjoyed: A Link to the Past and Wind Waker. But then again, this is a nintendo forum, so my argument is futile.

yes it is lol but you said youself x, x-2, 1, 2 and 3 were duds (with the exception of 3's as yet untested western version lol)

 

in the zelda series i think only maybe the first two are duds just becasue they shwo theyre age, but zelda 2s still fun cos its different. every other Zelda game i have enjoyed immensly from links awakening on the GB and GBC to wind waker and minish cap-i dont think theres a higher quality long running IP in the whole of gaming :D

The difference being of course, that there are more final fantasy games than Zelda games. And with 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 being absolute classics, theres really no competition. Still, I still reckon Chrono should have been in there somewhere :angry:

 

3 wasn't a dud, seeing as I've played the 90% english version of it and it's bloody great.

hmm cool, in my opinion FF 8 aint all that FF7s alright and FF 9 is fun FF 10 was a lil 'meh' FF X-2 was funny and a wise decision to make it so female oreintated lol

 

i think theres been 11 full Zelda games (exculding GBA's four swords):

 

zelda, zelda 2, links awakening, LTTP, ocarina, majoras mask, oracle of ages, oracle of seasons, four swords, four swords adventures, wind waker and minish cap.

 

then theres twilight princess and phantom hourglass and like i said with the exception of the first two all of them are very playable today and great fun :D the series has a consistantly very high quality and i cant see that ending anytime soon.

The interesting thing is, both the FF games and Zelda games don't follow a 'strict' timeline. So, in that sense, can they really be classed as a series?;)

 

I mean, we still have many fans on this forum trying to make sense of the Zelda timeline. There have been many different interpretations, but never one solid official one.

I love the Zelda games, but i don't really think of them as a series. A series, imo, is something which is continuous and follows on, linking into the past 'episode'.

by series i think we mean IP but even then, the FF games are almost all completly isolated from each other but have similar themes, and gameplay.

 

where as the zelda games share most of the same characters and gameplay.

 

i personally dont try and make sense of it all and if i have to-like with the wind waker following on from ocarina- i usually think of the rest of them as happening in a parallel universe where different things have hapened in the past.

That's how i think of it.

 

Personally, i think each Zelda is individual. I regard a series like Resident Evil as a series because each game leads into each other. Zero leads into 1, 1 leads into 2 and 3, etc.

 

With the Zelda games, i don't think you have that. It seems to be much more individual, imo. Each game is a seperate adventure, but you may see the same characters and enemies. Definitely like a parallel universe.

Final Fantasy 7 is rose tinted to hell. The fact is, that game had a million clichés not to mention Seprioth is a tool... lets be honest about it.

 

I very much enjoyed FF9, mostly due to its cast of characters and the art style used. Apart from FF:CC its the only one I finished.

both series are beginning to feel stale IMO, just because there have been so many sequels with little changes. I do think Zelda tries to mix it up more though (Zelda 2, Majoras Mask, Four Swords).

 

so barring these two, id go with Castlevania and Metroid

It depends on the question. Quality of games, or amount of good games. If it's amount of good games, I think mario takes it, for sheer massive size of series. Although they're not all connected, there are many, many good mario titles. But what about pokemon? If you can get past the "look at how cute we are!" visuals, the main games are all very good. Zelda's still the best, though.

I was suprised that Pokemon got knocked out by Metroid. I like the Metroid games but it takes a great deal of motivation to actually play them where Pokemon has the magic touch of being able to pick it up and play for a few mins here and there. I suppose its because its a handheld game though.
