Very simple which of these 2 popular franchises you choose(single player and online so ff1-15 and tes 1-6)
No way Im comparing the 2 franchises on gameplay or other differences just which of the 2 is more popular, I love and play both.

Think I'd say FF franchise, console gamers dominate the market.
maybe Im just imagining things so I'll keep an eye on this poll, thanks.
im an FF fanboy always will be BUT
i feel its not a fair comparison since Elder Scrolls is a western sandbox game where u can do basicly do whatever you want, be whoever you want etc while the FF series is JRPG where the main focus is the story, the nerrative and the characters you meet
it even reflects in the online games where in ESO the main story is in the "backround" and u can honeslty just ignore most the most part it if u rly wanted while FFXI and FFXIV (more recently) gates progress and a lot of the side features with story that you NEED to do into order to experience the full game
I understand the differences but the poll is about popularity not how they are played.According to IGN FF is third from Zelda and Mario of the most popular franchises

I am surprised people consider FF even competitive anymore. FFXIII was awful, and they kept focusing on it. The reason they are picking now to go and finally do the FFVII remake is because they are losing trust in their team to make good original games. I really hope XV isn't terrible, too, or all we will have from Squeenix are remakes.
Elder Scrolls, on the other hand, has never had a bad game and keeps on improving with each release.
What this boils down to is western RPG vs JRPG, and the JRPG big games have been in decline for awhile now.
I agree that its still pretty popular.
I remember the Final Fantasy franchise since the first one. Elder Scrolls seems like it just came out the last few years (I know it has been around longer then that).
So I say FF.
I have played and enjoyed both over the years. I voted FF as more popular simply because of the sheer number of Eastern folks who play it, alongside us on this side of the pond. I just don't think TES has the Eastern/Asian following that FF does.
That being said, both franchises are great fun, perhaps for different play styles, but they are wonderful in their own rights. Why people feel the need to bash each other in a forum over this is beyond me. Can't we all just be happy two such franchises even exist, and continue to make games? Oh wait, that's right, this is a forum.....lol.

Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim were all on consoles and pc.
I'm looking at this in a simple way, but not quite how the poll asked the question.
I can only choose to play games from one franchise for the rest of my life.
It isn't close. Final Fantasy.

Here i fixed your poll
My vote:
[ ] Final Fantasy
[ ] Elder Scrolls
[x] Both
This is an interesting poll for me. Statistically Final Fantasy is a GIANT franchise compared to The Elder Scrolls.
Single player wise though I vastly prefer TES. As you can see when it comes to the two MMOs I've stuck with FFXIV. Admittedly I haven't really given ESO much of a shot since beta, which left alot to be desired in my opinion.
This poll is way too simplistic.
You may as well be comparing the witcher series of chrono trigger. All good games, all within (roughly) the same genre, but completely different styles, gameplay, and mechanics.
I like both on the whole, but Final Fantasy has had more than double the number of games as the Elder Scrolls franchise. And out of those numerous additional titles, many of them suck. However there are enough good ones to overlook those. Similar to the Star Wars franchise, most of those games suck (roughly half of them), but there are so many games (in bulk) that there are a good amount of them that are actually good.
Elder Scrolls on the other hand, is mostly good games, but not as many. They are also more action based, whereas FF is more of a traditional JRPG franchise.
a franchise with +13 titles that is more popular among console gamers vs a franchise with + 5 titles that is more popular among PC gamers...which one could be more popular....could it be FF? yes i am a genius. quality-wise though right now, TES is better i mean look at FF12 and 13...uuuugh. it's like watching a bad anime.
(as for their MMOs, FF11 is better than both FF14ARR and ESO. between ESO and FF14ARR, when ESO was p2p, FF14ARR was a better choice imo but now both are good choices, i still prefer FF14ARR though)
my top MMOs: UO,DAOC,WoW,GW2
most of my posts are just my opinions they are not facts,it is the same for you too.
