Which one?

ff7, no contest
also, this is mine

>>717704723 (OP)
FF7 has the better gameplay
Xenogears has the better story and characters
Also anime cutscenes aged a lot better than CGI

FF7. I don't want you worthless fucks near Xenogears. You'll hate it and just come to bitch about it. FF is where all the whiners go.

Xenogears, the story is the most revered thing about these two games and the story of Gears is much better. Gameplay in both is mediocre while soundtracks are excellent. Both are unfinished though it shows more in gears vs ff7.

>>717705108
How is FF7 unfinished? Genuine question

>>717704723 (OP)
FF7 is the better game and JRPG.
HOWEVER, Xenogears is the greatest VN ever made.

>>717705487
Disc 2 doesn't make it a VN..

>>717704970
>Xenogears has the better story and characters

Are you joking? I hated the main character of Xenogears. Being an actual schizophrenic with a double personality disorder made him fucking annoying. I just wanted someone to poison his food and just kill him. I can't stand the horrible story and shitty characters of that game. And I hate how much praise Xenogears gets. It's worse than Earthbound's fanbase which gave rise to Undertale.

At least Earthbound always sold terrible. Xenogears sold above a million units so every idiot says "Oh my god this shitty Xenogerars game sold MORE than the entire Pokemon franchise! You must play it because its MORE popular than Pokemon! It's THAT GOOD!!! Play it!" Shut the fuck up already about that garbage game that no one cares about. If I watch a video about RPGs on youtube and see anyone bring up Xenogears I thumb that vid down.

So tired of hearing about Xenogears and Persona while we're at it.

Cool dude but it's a good game

>Xenogears has the better story and characters
Like over half the party basically cease to exist or function as characters participating in the story at some point or another

7 just has noticeably better gameplay so I have to say 7. I do think Xenogears has cooler cutscenes and 'hype moments'.

>>717705534
The whole thing might as well be a VN.
If you removed the RPG parts of xenogears; outside flashy combat animations, would the whole thing suffer?

>>717704723 (OP)
the one that is actually finished.

>>717706585

>>717704723 (OP)
Xenogears.

>>717706076
The same thing happens in FF7. Vincent and Yuffie aren't even mandatory characters.

>>717705809
This type of bait doesn't work in 2025. Just post some ai-generated gibberish about zoomers and trannies while maybe mentioning xenogears once instead

>>717706204
I actually liked the combat in Xenogears. Death blows were fun.

>>717704723 (OP)
this one actually

>>717705305
Everything with Zack barely made it into the game, the last act of the game is rushed to hell

margie a cute

>>717707492
>Do some basic combo prompt that the game.
>Not even combinations or combos like Legaia, just premade attack cutscene
>Can't even combo the super deathblows
Fucking How? Materia system blows them out of the water.

>>717710990
Nta but graphically they're very cool, but yeah mechanically they're pretty basic

>>717710990
Because they look cool and are unique for every character. Materia kind of sucks because it makes every party member in FF7 interchangeable

bart is a lucky man

I mean, you are not wrong. But the system in itself is more complex and fun.

>>717706204
KINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>717710990

Ok but that's from 6, you dumb nigger.

first cousins btw

btw I really hope Takahashi wrote some personal notes for Xenogears 2 besides the Perfect Works

>>717711953
and that's why it's kino

why does this board suck off shit like xenogears and chrono trigger? i've never had a single person irl ever bring these games up.

>""""Final"""" "Fantasy" 7 (Seriously)

>Literally KINOGEARS
You decide.

>>717712146
both are great fuck you nigger

>>717712242
More like protoFF7 vs FF7

>>717704723 (OP)
Xenogears

>>717711601
>Ok but that's from 6, you dumb nigger.
6 is magicite you dumb faggot.

Xenogears has the best character from both games.

>>717713424
He's so fucking cool

>>717705305
I don't think it's unfinished, but there are lots of bugs. what is most surprising, many of them were already present in older FF titles, across different platforms. In the Steam release of FFVII they fixed some bugs like MDef not working, yet left in bugsnlike W-Item Materia Dupe and introduced a new one, Yuffie Warping Glitch.
It's as if they used to make games using duct tape, glue and a lot of hope that it'll hold together. How come some bugs kept coming back in the same form ever since FFI?

FF7 is the better game of the two by a huge margin

>>717713591
>It's as if they used to make games using duct tape, glue and a lot of hope that it'll hold together.
considering the remaster of FFX and the new one of FFT i think it's very plausible

>>717704723 (OP)
FF7 but I love Xenogears, too

>>717713424
>When you're so smart you accidentally fuck up because you're playing so many people at once

>>717713591
ALL software is made using duct tape, glue, and a lot of hope. Any process for making less shitty software is just an elaborate form of double checking that the duct tape is still sticky.

>>717713424
I love him. Best character for sure.

>>717712146
You don't have any friends irl so that's probably why

Suikoden or Chrono Cross

>>717704723 (OP)
Azure Dreams clears them both because you can date the cute girls.

>>717704723 (OP)
Xenogears but FF7 is great and I do see why people might like it better. 6 is my favorite FF for full disclosure.

>>717704723 (OP)
Left is overrated garbage so right

>>717712146
>i've never had a single person irl ever bring these games up.
because you have no friends and interact with people who weren't fucking alive when they came out?
Hello, retard?
RETARD, hello?

Panzer Dragoon Saga > FF7 > Xenogears
>>717704970
Xeno's story makes absolutely no sense. It's one of the worst written JRPG's ever made.
To even have a hope of understanding it, you have to buy multiple external third party resources like books, because the entire story is contained in the game on disc 2 and they literally hadn't even proof read the script coz they ran out of money.
It's complete and utter nonsense.

>>717704723 (OP)
FF7 original and Xenogears are on par with one another. Xenogears still lingers in me to this day and I'll never forget the first time I played it. It's the Evangelion of video games as far as I'm concerned.

>Xeno's story makes absolutely no sense.
there are people this dumb on this board, and they are NOT being ironic

xenogears

>>717705305
NTA but it's very obvious they ran out of money after you leave midgar.
The whole game takes a nose dive, when you get to Kalm (the next town) it looks like a completely different game. It looks like they sticky taped the design together using leftover assets that they had thrown in the bin. It looks like a prototype of a SNES game or something.

A good comparison is Pic related. Midgar's gorgeous and highly details background art on the left (which the first 8-10 hours of the game is absolutely packed with)....and then on the right is what the rest of the game looks like.

>>717705487
No that would be Snatcher.

>>717721264
I remember when I played it when I was 14 that I had no idea what was going on and had a vague idea of what was going on. To little me, Elly and Fei were cursed by fate and only if they could get together truly could they break the cycle. Everything else went over my head besides cool robots. Grahf saving Elly is the coolest shit

>>717710407
Good response.
Xenogears ripped its combat off that game.

>>717721169
>Panzer Dragoon Saga > FF7 > Xenogears
My nigga

Xenogears would be if it was finished. As it stands I consider them equal.

>>717713424
According to Perfect Works, Yui is just as much of a martial arts master as her husband. Honestly, I would play a game with Citan and Yui as protagonists.

>>717722573
>it was finished
zoomer regurgitated opinion; Xenogears IS finished.
