I currently have NF/Proph and would like the one that would probably benefit me the most. Assassins don't look that interesting to me and Rits seem kinda meh, I wasn't digging the sluggish Spirit summoning. But I keep hearing how GWEN is grindy. When I did the trial, I definitely did not care for the giant-body stuff. I'm more of a PVE'er and like to have plenty of skills to choose from. Which one, for forty bucks, should I buy in about month or so?

40 bucks wow your overpaying dude you can buy BOTH for 40

i myself liek the ease of factions better to the grind effect of EotN

EotN add to the whole storylinbe of prophecies unlike faction which is a story of its own

so yeah but seriously 40$ for each game is a rip dont do it

Agreed, $40 for either of those is expensive. Got to your local Best Buy, Target, or Gamestop and get a copy for cheap. Anyway, on topic...EoTN...nuff said...

You will probably benefit from Factions the best due to there being some of the best skill's and some of the best content (Alliance Battles). GWEN however has lots of new armor and money making possibilities (dungeons) but yes it can get grindy if you really want r10 in all the different groups, Asura, Norn, Dwarf,Vanguard. Once you beat EoTN though you can trade in your heroes handbook which gives you 20k rep in any of the alliances so its pretty much instant r5 which is what you need to make armor. I would reccomend you get factions first because of the Skills/Allaince Battles which will help you get into guild/alliances etc. and because I really like Factions. SPELLING MISTAKES IDC!

Factions is a full campaign - and even though it is the shortest one you will get the most content from that purchase.

Ah, yeah, I see I could easily get Factions for twenty bucks on Newegg. After looking over the skills and some builds, I'll go Factions. Thanks guys. ^__^

If I were you, I would go for the Factions Platinum edition, it is faction + eotn and is a great price for both.. around here in british columbia I can pick up the platinum edition for 39.99.

But if you can't get this then I would suggest factions because it is a great campaign and comes with great skills.. but try your best to get eotn soon after. Having all the campaigns just enhances gameplay so much.

You could if you looked around get both for $40 which is how I got mine.

EotN has by far the best graphics (and more titles, if you like longevity), Factions is quite easy, but tbh it annoyed the hell out of me at first, it's a bit maze like til you get out of the main city, but worth it once you do.

I'd buy both

Factions is totally more awesome and fun, looks better, has better dialogue, better story, the two most awesome classes, and is just a better choice in all.
