    These two are often regarded by the community of FF fans as the best FF games ever made. So which one do you think is better in the following:

    Artstyle:

    Story:

    Characters:

    Music:

    Battle System:

    World:

    Customization:

    Sidequests:


    Which do you think is better in those areas (Which would be the best overall?)

    Art: X
    Story: X (VII just doesn't make much sense to me, sorry.)
    Characters: X
    Music: X (it's close, though)
    Battle System: X (I like how I can just sit there and think about my next move.)
    World: X
    Customization: VII
    Side quests: VII

    Obviously I like X more.

    Artstyle: FFX

    Story: FFX( VII is confusing in terms of story and you have play it multiple times to completly understand it. I like X religious and cultural themes alot.)

    Characters: FFX

    Music: FFX

    Battle System: FFX

    World: FFX

    Customization: VII
    I like the materia system in VII. I dont think you custimize much in X)

    Sidequests: VII
    Even though i love 10, I didn't care so much about gettibg the celestrial weapons and playing blizball. In VII, fighting Ruby and Emerald weapon was more interesting to do.

    Overall: FFX is my favorite so im going with this.

    VII, bar none. X is awesome, don't get me wrong. But I found the overall package of VII better than X. Both are some of my highest rated games, though.

    FFX in all categories except for customization and sidequests (there are some sidequests in FFX that I really don't care for, i.e. the lightning bolt dodging, having to play a crapton of Blitzball for Wakka's ultimate weapon, etc.). FFX especially slaughters FFVII in terms of music.

    I think FFIX is the best FF game tho and I'd also put FFVI above FFVII.

    FFVII on every aspect listed. FFX was the beginning of the end for the golden age of open-world rpgs. For that, I somewhat despise it.

    They weren't really open world considering most of the important stuff took place outside of the world map, nor was it the end. Haven't you played Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, New Vegas, Xenoblade? Hell, FFXII brought back the "open world" idea to Final Fantasy to some extent.

    Yet, FFVII not very linear. FFX is a walking hallway similar to FFXIII.

    I'm a bit biased, as I didn't care for VII or VIII much. I loved X though, at the time.

    I personally think 7 is a lot better than 10.

    7 has a better story, better battle system, world map, a lot better main character, a lot better characters, a lot better bad guy (Sephiroth).

    Not to mention FF 10-2 sucks.
