Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FINAL FANTASY VI at none against Neverwinter Nights's 10. FINAL FANTASY VI also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months) and chart position (#29 vs unranked). Neverwinter Nights's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.5) and price ($9.99 vs $14.99). On ratings volume, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
