Square was the best they could be on the SNES. They dropped a little for the PS1. And after that, I couldn't really give a shit.

Actually on SNES, Enix was way better and more diversified than Square. On PS1 though, Square dominated the JRPG genre. 

SNES by Square I liked:

- Chrono Trigger

- Final Fantasy III

- Final Fantasy Mystic Quest

- Secret of Mana

- Super Mario RPG

- Breath of Fire

 

PS1 games by Square I liked:

- Final Fantasy VII

- Final Fantasy IX

I'm sorry, but you're actually dismissing a game like Xenogears  and giving Mystic Quest the edge over it? On sheer game quality the two aren't even comparable.

Don't get me wrong, Mystic Quest was a good game, I really loved how you used your weapons on the world map for puzzles and what not, but it doesn't scratch the surface of games like Xenogears, Parasite Eve and Vagrant Story.

They didn't drop a little on the PS1, they actually managed to keep their SNES level, which was already magnificent.
