Which one should I get: Metroid Samus Returns or Final Fantasy IX?

[Anf Hidalgo 1]

I've been meaning to play both games however since I'm unable to get both due to insufficient funds; I'm stuck in quiet a dilhemma. I'm going to pick up Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana (which I preordered months ago) this Friday however I've decided to get a secondary game with it on the side.

 

I've never played a Metroid game before and I've always wanted to try one, but I also really like Final Fantasy games and have never played the 9th instalment before, if just came out recently. It's somewhat a tough call to make since as I said; they are both games I haven't played before and are willing to jump into. But I can only get one...

I'd say it depends on which type of game you prefer,RPGs or Metroidvanias,personally I prefer Metroidvania,so I'd buy Samus Return,but they are both amazing games so you can't go wrong with either

why not both?

Fool. Get Metroid, beat it, and return or sell. It's still pretty new so it will have a high used value.

why not both?

Fool. Anf says why in the first sentence.

I think it really depends on whether you prefer action games or RPGs.  Personally I would vote for FF IX, as it is one of the best Final Fantasy installments, in my opinion, and if you like Final Fantasy you would probably like it.  I think I saw that it also went on sale just recently for a limited time, so that may be something to consider. : )
