However, NWN2 is being developed by Obsidian Entertainment. Same dudes that made KotoR2, which was a pretty awesome game except for the ending which LucasArts rushed them on. Obsidian is also pretty much Black Isle 2, since it has many of Black Isle's former employees.
If this game is even close to Black Isle's typical work, it's going to be a pretty damn good game. Black Isle and Bioware put out, what I think, is one of the best RPGs of all time (Baldur's Gate 2, didn't like 1 so much), and I'm a bit excited to see if Obsidian can put out as good of a game in the story telling department.
But either way, it's essentially going to come down to release day for both games, and seeing if NWN2 gets decent reviews or not.
Though I'm a bit suprised so far that at this point NWN2 has the majority vote. Mainly since I'm seeing so little being said about it, and so much more being said about the next FF. But then again, it's the next FF, that's to be expected.

Final Fantasy = same shit different day.
I can guarantee you that NWN2 will be the same thing as NWN, with prettier graphics and a better toolset. And all the other little things that will make it different that you also ignore in the FF series.

I personally don't think that either game is going to be like the previous ones in the series.
NWN2 will be like NWN, simply because they're both D&D games, but 2 is going to be 3.5 rules, and there's enough differences between 3 and 3.5 to where the game will be balanced differently, let alone that Obsidian is taking some of the things they learned from KotoR2 and are applying them to NWN2, and well, Obsidian is it development period.
FF12 is going to be more like FF11 than any other games in the series, so it's going to play completely different.

Never played NWN soo...FFXII? Looks like it might suck though.
Hah. Sup?
Though all the Summons are FFT/A and some old FF game bosses.

Talonus had this to say about Captain Planet:
Both will be more of the same. NWN2 is just NWN done better. FF12 is just FF10 done better. Grab Okami instead.
I second Okami. Or Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria.

NWN2, unless you want FFXII to masturbate itself, instead of you playing the game
Because we don't need to have our own opinions, let's just act like idiots and link Penny Arcade comics!

It isn't like that combat system can't be turned off or anything. Nope.
I'm amazed Penny Arcade hasn't become popular enough to be hated by the Internet yet. No, I don't hate it, I actually find the comics irritating. Just not the whole concept of linking them instead of forming your own opinion. Falaanla Marr fucked around with this message on 10-07-2006 at 04:43 PM.

ACES! Another post by Falaanla Marr:

I think it sounds brilliant. Leave the garbage to the computer, let me have fun figuring out how to smash the boss' face in.
Edit:FFT:A was the WORST Final Fantasy and Worst Sequel ever. The Judges were just annoying, and the game itself was so constricting, where only certain races could be certain classes, and i have to have the weapon to learn the move, which meant i always had to have a thief, because the shops only upgraded once. Such a shame, because FFT was by far one of the best FFs ever. Anakha fucked around with this message on 10-07-2006 at 05:16 PM.

So they'll bless and follow anyone who gives them a justification for not thinking. Anyone who makes a virtue - a highly intellectual virtue - out of what they know to be their sin, their weakness, and their guilt"

Yet, they'll play it anyway. If they don't want to buy it, just rent and/or pirate. That way we can all get along.
I'll probably give NWN2 a whirl though, I've been pining for a good D&D style game. Oblivion doesn't count since it's more like an RP-FPS.

Mortious had this to say about Knight Rider:
I couldn't get through NWN, to be honest it bored me and the storyline could not hold my attention. It seemed slow to the point of stopping completely.I'll probably give NWN2 a whirl though, I've been pining for a good D&D style game. Oblivion doesn't count since it's more like an RP-FPS.
Yeah, that's pretty much how I felt about NWN1. However, NWN2 just looks good, and of the two, it's probably the one I'll pick up. Unless it gets very bad reviews, then of course I'm gonna snag FF12.
Graphics are impressive in it, and I trust Obsidian (I guess you could say formerly Black Isle) to dish out decent gameplay/challenge, and a story line that will make people give a damn about what's going on.
Although I doubt Bajah would like to play with me again, what with the repeated fireball catastrophes and all 
hehehe

Edit: At the moment, I'm playing through IWD2 with my brother. Much asskicking has been had thus far. Just wish the game was developed a bit better for multiplayer. Willias fucked around with this message on 10-07-2006 at 11:11 PM.
FF12 is in Ivalice. FFT was in Ivalice. FFT had an amazing plot of political and religious intrigue and scandal combined with supernatural biblical horrors. FFT:A was also in Ivalice except instead of political and religious intrigue and scandal there was a shitty 'friends will get us through' plot and instead of supernatural biblical horrors you got bunny women and dog people.
Yes?
No.
Willias has just intrigued me further into NWN2. If Obsidian is the real Bioware2, then I will be all over it. Anyone in any sort of doubt over Bioware's amazing awesomehood should definitely try playing Icewind Dale and IWD2 and Baldur's Gate and BG2.
The best thing about Bioware is they are one of the amazingly few developers capable of creating real characters and amazing dialogue. I daresay they're one of the few people who have stories that are compelling alongside their awesome games.
"Look at that hole in the wall! We can't patch it with air!" "I'm beginning to see why they made you chief engineer around here..."
Fuck, now I want to play IWD2 again.
