So simple, Mass Effect all the way.

Sorry, but I just loved the first, and it lies in my heart.
Would you say it had a MASS EFFECT on the people who played it?

Sorry...

Anyway, I'm not sure which one to pick since I've never played any of the games in either series. So for the time being, I'm going with neither.

I said FFXIII as I've never played Mass Effect. But it seems to be it's on par with 13. I might have to give this game a looksee.
Look at this [http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14235013/mass-effect-2/videos/masseffect2_garrusfightfull.html] video. If this appeals to you, give it a shot.

EDIT: This [http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14235013/mass-effect-2/videos/masseffect2_welcomeomega_11.html] to see the more conversational side of it.
Ooooh. I'm very tempted.
It looks good, right? I really can't wait. The only thing that annoys me is that the person in those videos always picked either the Renegade (bottom of conversation wheel) or neutral (middle of wheel) conversation choices, and I always pick Paragon (top of wheel), so that didn't seem like the Commander Shepard I'm used to. Then again, my Commander Shepard is also a woman (because the VA for Female Shepard is Jennifer Hale), so...

Ah, so, like, the conversations you have are completely customised..? That's pretty awesome. The graphics look pretty good as well.
I don't have a 360, but I could get the PC version, hmmmm, I'm thinking Christmas present :p

Yeah, that's what that wheel was, the player was choosing what Shepard (the main character) said. Top is Paragon (good), middle is Neutral, bottom is Renegade (Bad), left is to ask for more information, right is to advance the conversation (sounds more complex than it is). You notice that, in the first video, Shepard sounded really bloodthirsty and said he hated sneaking? That's because the player chose the Renegade options, the Paragon version would have been a bit less willing to fight and a bit more willing to use subterfuge. It goes a bit beyond that, as Paragon isn't really "good" and Renegade isn't really "bad", at least not in the traditional sense, they're both more attitudes (more like "Idealistic vs Ruthless" than "Good vs Bad).

I realize I'm gushing a bit, and this is a bit off topic (I'm a huge ME fanboy, sorry :)), so send me a PM if you want to know more about it.

Tough tough call. Both are good. Can't both be an option?
But if I had to choose, I would choose Mass Effect. At least to play first. Less chance of unnecessary drama there.

FF 13. Why? Well, because the only FF game I've played is the DS port of 4, and I wanna see how hard it would be to jump nine games ahead, how similar or different they are. Not to mention, for "colourful, silly anime characters," the character designs looks pretty down to earth. Sort of.

Mass Effect... eh, it just doesn't hook me, that's all. Does that make me a bad person, then?

I'd go with Final Fantasy 13, simply because it's accessible to more people. No exclusivity bullcrap.

Why not both? Why is there a neither an option but not both? I'm getting both, I'm pumped for both. They both look like good games.

FFXIII as I'm obviously an FF freak :p Really hoping they've changed a few things since XII as I know a lot of people disliked it. It certainly wasn't SE's finest hour.

My experience with the FF series is limited, but I think I prefer real time action before turnbased combat. I also loved the first ME.

ME.

A thousand times, ME. Actually, scartch that. A billion times, ME. Honestly, I'd buy that game if it were just a running list of text. The writing is amazing.

Mass Effect because I played the first one and it made a really good impression on me. Can't wait for more both story and gameplay wise.

I find it kind of hard to hype for FFXIII though. Not because I have that much against Final Fantasy (even though I prefer it in small doses) but because the marketing for it here in the west has been horrible. They have basically released some unedited videos of gameplay amd cutscenes from one portion of the game, we have a few vague details about a few aspects and that's it. I mean it looks cool but I have no idea what to expect from it!

Mass Effect on the other hand I know exactly what to expect from, and if it lives up to my expectations then I probably wopn't leave my house for days.

What are you talking about? FFXII was great. What exactly don't people like about it?

I'm gonna have to go with Final Fantasy 13. Even though I don't like Final Fantasy or Mass Effect. But I'd rather play Final Fantasy then Mass Effect.

I've never played Mass Effect, and I've played a few Final Fantasy games, but I'm actually more interested in Mass Effect 2 than Final Fantasy XIII.

Ghaargh too many Vs threads.

Guys whats better, Green Tea or Ford Fiestas?
Ford Fiesta. Tea sets off my gag reflex.... and yes, I know it's weird.

I'm surprised.
I would've thought that the Final Fantasy series had a much bigger following than Mass Effect.
Apparently not. It's kinda disappointing...

I said FF13. It seems like a much more promising game in my opinion.
The series may have a bigger following but the question isn't actually fair. I love the Final Fantasy series but I also loved Mass Effect. The point is that I chose Mass Effect because I actually want to know what happens next. With Final Fantasy, it is a new game so I don't have anything vested in it yet.
