For this i would say Golden Sun. It would be Fire Emblem but i cant get over how you have to buy items in a battle. Why cant you just go to a town and buy your weapons, that is what killed it for me. Now, I did n o play fire emblem long and I don't know if you get that option later in the game but if you do please tell me.

That depends on which one. I personally don't like fire emblem, due to the permanent loss of characters when they die, so between golden sun and final fantasy. Final fantasy games are usually amazing, but lately I don't have the attention span to play them cause its all about graphics instead of story. I haven't played more than one golden sun, but I do think it is fun in its own way. I'd have to say final fantasy wins, but mostly cause of the ones before final fantasy 10 and I played them the most.

I like Golden sun and Fire emblem. I can't decide which of those two is better.especially since you can play both games several times, without getting boring of it.Golden sun is a 4 party based game. It's the classic version but it's just great.A great example for how you can boost a classic RPG with story, graphics, musics&sound and Charakters.Fire emblem is a strategy based RPG.You have to use your mind to win battles.Since I also love to play chess and other strategy games i like Fire emblem alot.Fire emblem has good story, graphics and music&sound. All charakters have their own story. Probably you will leanr more about your favorite charakters than the ones you don't like.Fire emblem is the best example for games that can be in a series of 10 with the same gameplay as the beginning and still be great.I hate Final Fantasy though. don't like the stories of FF and all that complicated gameplay.You can't really define FF since all FFs change from series to series.Even if it's a sequel to a previous game the battle system changes alot.I tried some and they are not really that great. Could it be that all charakters in FFs are psychos?It's a good example for games that can share the same name but there is no reason why...Well i just added it to complete the list, since many people say it is a good game and its only my opinion that i don't like FF. Agrre with it or not, but please don't flame me!You decide wihich is the best RPG

i like fire emblem best amongthe three...i don't really likefinal fantasy though,so, like 2/3POINTS were deducted for this post by Ballistic BeanzPlease refer to the forum rules to find out why your points were deducted.

I believe golden sun is the best, because fire emblem is in my eyes not really an rpg, but more a strategie, and the system in golden sun just works great, with the summoning.

As a diehard GS fan, I can't deny my nature. But kudos to the other two, which are also both worth playing.Golden Sun just has a better overall feel though. The difficulty, gameplay and storyline are perfectly balanced, plus there are beautiful graphics (for a GBA game).

Golden Sun wins it in my book. Its got a solid storyline with hours and hours of gameplay and its the only one outta the three that has some great meaningful side missions that you can choose to complete along the way. I like fire emblem better than FF's just because ive only played one of them (if you dont count advanced tactics) and based off playing FF 7 i find that golden sun and fire emblem has better graphics. You cant really compare golden to FF and fire anyway because golden and FF are like moving chess pieces and golden sun is more free play strategy.

The simplest and most newbie-friendly to get into would have to Final Fantasy. It's got the fastest learning curve. But I'd have to go with Golden Sun for story, and it's graphics're alright!

In terms or RPG's Final fantasy wins. Most Final Fantasy games have a very deep and rich plot and storyline that defines most rpgs. Golden Sun has a nice storyline but isn't as rich as most final fantasy games. Also Final Fantasy games have a greater freedom in the battle system. I can't say anything about Fire Emblem beacause I haven't personally played the games.

That question is a really subjective one and depends on the likes for each person. It is true that Fire Emblem requires more tactical thinking than Final Fantasy (you can simply make a good customization or level up to insane levels in any FF game to swift through it); but Fire Emblem makes me feel I'm playing a stiff game, you really cannot do much with your characters aside from the things they already have. Besides, so many character picks make the game somewhat more complicated than it has to be and many characters are so similar that it really does not matter who you use. The story is also too complicated and I get lost by midway through the game.Golden Sun is similar to Final Fantasy but I really cannot say much about it because I have not played as much as the other two RPGs

Gotta go with Final Fantasy on this one - it is just too classic. I love Fire Emblem, and it is probably in my top 3 as far as tactical games go (Fire Emblem/Shining Force/Disgaea). However, Final Fantasy just can't be topped as a series.

Fire Emblem is more of a Strategy game in my opinion...So... it would be Golden Sun...Love the Graphics for a GBA game so old...Combat system is repetative but the specail attack/ psynergy make it more interestingBut I love Fire Emblem too much to just say no to it... Love the tactical side and the various characters availableFE has to be the best hybrid game out there and Golden Sun is definetly in the top 10As for FF... most of the GBA games suck... no offense but... they stinkmost of the games are repeats of earlier with different story lines
