The two best-reviewed RPGs of 2020<\/a> are Persona 5 Royal<\/i> and the definitive edition of Dragon Quest XI<\/i>. Since both games are more like enhanced ports, they\u2019re not truly new to 2020; consequently, they will be disregarded in favor of promoting two games that truly debuted in 2020. That said, the next best-rated games are Yakuza: Like A Dragon<\/a><\/i>,\u00a0which earned\u00a0a\u00a0score\u00a0of\u00a089 on Xbox One<\/a>, and Final<\/i> Fantasy VII Remake<\/i><\/a>,\u00a0which obtained an 87 on PS4<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

While\u00a0Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/i> is also not technically new, the remake is way different from the original, so much so that it is very much its own thing. It\u2019s hard to pick wrong when it comes to these two choices as both are fantastically RPGs. However, they both do some things better than the other, so let\u2019s find out if there is a clear victor or not for the best new RPG of 2020.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

11 <\/span>Gameplay: Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Yakuza: Like a Dragon<\/em>\u00a0ditched\u00a0the brawler combat from the previous entries, a decision that was\u00a0the complete opposite of what Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/i>\u00a0opted for. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Square Enix’s game adds action gameplay to a typical turn-based structure, a mix that works\u00a0quite well. Both games have great combat mechanics, but the\u00a0Final Fantasy<\/i> game<\/a> wins out by a small margin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Job System: Yakuza: Like A Dragon<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

When it comes to combat, Cloud, Tifa, and the rest all have distinct pros and cons that adhere to standard RPG Jobs or Classes. That said, as enjoyable as the action is in Final Fantasy VII<\/em><\/span>, Yakuza: Like a Dragon<\/em>‘s\u00a0Job System adds a lot more strategy to battles. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The game comes with over 20 Jobs, and while they are all pretty goofy, such as the chef and club host Jobs, they fit into this world just fine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Characters: Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This is another case where both games are almost neck and neck, as both titles feature great characters. However, nostalgia is the deciding factor here that gets\u00a0Final Fantasy<\/a>\u00a0<\/i>the win. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

As charming as Ichiban and his colorful cast of rogues are in Yakuza<\/i>, the updated characters from Final Fantasy VII<\/i>\u00a0are too hard to resist. Seeing these iconic faces again will cause\u00a0all the feels to come rushing back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Side Quests: Yakuza: Like A Dragon<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The side quests in the original Final Fantasy VII<\/i>\u00a0are legendary. However, since the remake was delegated to just Midgar, they lacked the punch they once did. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Side quests\u00a0have always been one of the shining beacons in the Yakuza\u00a0<\/em>games, and it is no different this time around. From fighting Pok\u00e9mon-esque mobsters to helping out a mascot get pirated merchandise off the streets, they are all memorable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Music: Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

There really isn\u2019t one track that sticks out from this Yakuza<\/i> game. The karaoke has some wild songs but that is about it. Conversely, the updated soundtrack in\u00a0the\u00a0Final Fantasy<\/i> remake<\/a> is just superb.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The entry already had one of the best scores in the series, and it only\u00a0got better with a live orchestra backing the classic tracks along with new beats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Photo Mode: Yakuza: Like A Dragon<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/i> launched in April and still has not received a Photo Mode, which is crazy considering\u00a0this feature is pretty much a standard for AAA games. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Not only does this Yakuza<\/em> game have it, but it is also integrated phenomenally well into the game. While it\u2019s not the best Photo Mode out there, Ghost of Tsushima<\/em> is a clear winner for this year, Yakuza<\/em>‘s version\u00a0is still pretty good. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Story: Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

When Square Enix announced that this game would not be a full remake and instead be released in parts, fans didn\u2019t know how to react. Why aren\u2019t they just doing a scene for scene remake? <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The answer is a bit of a spoiler but let\u2019s just say that certain things have been changed and\u00a0all fans of the franchise should consider trying out this crazy ride.\u00a0Yakuza: Like A Dragon<\/i> has its moments but the story does not reach the same heights as\u00a0Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Mini-Games: Yakuza: Like A Dragon<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Like the side quests, the original Final Fantasy VII<\/i> had some great mini-games. Unfortunately, that just isn\u2019t the case with the remake<\/a>. This Yakuza<\/em> game, on the other hand, has a crazy amount of mini-games, be it riding around in go-karts or becoming a billionaire cracker tycoon. They make up some of the best side\u00a0content in the game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>The World: Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

From the graphics, style of the world, and variety in the environments, this Final Fantasy<\/i> remake<\/a> outdoes Yakuza<\/em> on every turn. It was great to see a new city in Yakuza: Like A Dragon<\/i> for a change, but\u00a0it is not a significant departure for the franchise and the scenery can get a touch repetitive.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/i> isn\u2019t always great as it does have some backgrounds that look like JPEGs, but overall it is the clear winner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Party Members: Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

This might be obvious as Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/i> won the character entry, but the game’s party members also outdo Yakuza<\/em>\u2019s.\u00a0While the Jobs system in\u00a0Sega’s\u00a0game\u00a0is\u00a0great and offers variety, players aren\u2019t controlling the characters directly.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

A Chef has different moves compared to a Bodyguard but they control the same. On the other hand, going from Cloud to Tifa is dramatically different, which is also why the combat is so good in the remake<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Verdict: Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Honestly, either game could have won this contest. There are so many other comparisons that could be made to gain both games more points. These games are some of 2020\u2019s best and they will remain some of the best for years to come in the RPG genre. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

As it was said earlier though, nostalgia played a big factor to help claim the victory for\u00a0Final Fantasy VII<\/em>\u00a0Remake<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
