Which do you prefer to see in a video game: pre-created characters like those in Phantasy Star and Final Fantasy or player created characters like those in online RPGs? Why do you have that preference?
Personally I don't have much of a preference. I can enjoy both about the same, but I usually find the games with player creations don't have as deep of a story. That's a downside for me, but it usually doesn't affect my enjoyment of the game one way or another.
