Final Fantasy Brave Exvius vs Ragnarok Online
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is a mobile MMORPG focusing on collecting heroes and assembling strong teams. The characters in the game are almost all based on the popular Final Fantasy franchise from Square Enix so you might see more than your fair share of familiar faces if you're a hardcore Final Fantasy fan, but the game does throw in some originals specially designed for Brave Exvius. New heroes can be obtained by completing missions or you can choose to improve your existing heroes by leveling them up and upgrading their grade and skills.Aside from the brilliant attack animations, the gameplay is very easy to grasp but if you want to delve into the game's deeper level of combat that requires some extra tactical know-how and strategic planning. There are plenty of dungeons and worlds for you to explore too but the paths aren't always linear - you may find secret routes that hide some extra rewards for the naturally curious. For the PvP-inclined, there are thrilling arena battles that you can dive into as well!
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius may not be anything like the namesake it is based on - it is a lot more casual just so it can cater to mobile gamers, but the game is still a Final Fantasy game through and through. The storyline in this game is a rather nice addition to the overall story and the characters are pretty much still the same.
Ragnarok Online
Ragnarok Online is a timeless classic and is among one of the very first anime-themed MMORPG that's based on a popular Korean comic series of the same name (which is still pretty popular now). The game is different from any other MMOs at that time mainly due to its unique graphical approach - using 2D sprites set in a 3D game environment. The game also infuses the "kawaii" and "chibi" concepts into its characters, giving rise to the famously cute Porings in the game.Gameplay-wise, Ragnarok Online has many features that may be relatively unheard of such as giving players the ability to set up their own vendors, in addition to having an auction house, to sell off items that have farmed or crafted. The job-based character progression system in this game is also incredibly in-depth, allowing for a wider variety of character builds. There are even collectible cards that players can not only collect from every single mob type in the game, but also equip these cards to enhance their equipment and stats.
It's not at all surprising to see that even 15 years after its initial release and having to put up with competition from its fully 3D sequel, Ragnarok Online 2, this game is still going pretty strong. If you consider yourself a hardcore MMO gamer, Ragnarok Online is a game you should try the first chance you get!
