Considering the only RPGs I've really played had cute little animals that battled in them I shall not vote.
Wait, the guy from Chrono Cross had a sword right? So I'll go with swords.

Swords.
I choose swords because they just seem more fitting.
unless it's Deus Ex, where it's guns.

RPG's aren't good with guns. Well, not as good as swords anyway.

Guns just don't fit in an rpg the same as swords. Kinda like they don't fit in fighting games

There are some games that are good with guns, others with swords. When you can do combos, like in WW, then its awesome. Starfox, Combo of both... staff and shooter staff (like a gun (sorta)). And others with guns I'd have it no other way. But to be honest... I prefer nice combos.. wouldn't that be awesome if guns in games had combos? I can picture it now...

I generally hated seeing guns in an RPG. Not that it is bad or anything, but I personally prefered more medieval (spelling?) style, which means melee weapons (swords, axes, and such).

Guns suck in RPG's

Swords. Dexterity, Stamina, and Agility are rendered null and void in an RPG with Guns...
There is no question Swords have always been stronger than guns in an RPG.

I like swords better, Zelda WW is my favorite game just because you can do a whole bunch of combos with the sword.

True. Only good ranged weapons in rpgs are bows. :)

Swords kick ass. Why blow somone apart when you can slash them to pieces?

if swords are fitting to you go with swords if your specialty like {vash the stampede}is guns then go with guns.:smoke:
p.s i would like to join your anti clan members
check your pm
Swords without a doubt. A gun in a turn based fighting system doesn't feel right.

Both are good. I mean have you guys played fallout? Shoot someone with a sword in the face and watch their head explode...that isn't wussie fighting if you ask me.

both if possible, i would have said swords, but i thought u were talking in general, not in rpgs, so i said guns

I would take Squall's GunBlade from Final fantasy 8

That's hard considering my favorite RPG's are usually swords, however, Fallout is also one of the greatest games ever.

Final Fantasy 8???? Except u couldnt use the gun part....if u could..it would kick @$$! I like Swords better! Guns can seriuosly hurt people, but if u chop off a limb, hey! you'll still live!:)

yes, because leg wounds from guns are fatal.
