Ive been scouting around and asking people in the gaming circle which they perfer square soft or Square Enix and many would conclude Square Soft was know as the golden era for the company, and felt it was during that time the games they made had mening to it comparing to now.

so i want to ask all of you which you prefer and why do share

Ever single successful franchise that Square-Enix publishes now (except for Dragon Quest) was invented by Squaresoft. So I'm going with them.



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

Square Soft and Enix separated. They both made some very awesome RPGs, especially on the SNES/PS1 eras.

In the case of Squaresoft, their very best, for me, was in the 1995-2000 span. Man, those were the years.

I preferred Square-Soft. But I love Square-Enix as well.



I preferred Enix and felt that Sqaure has lowered the quality. No kidding aside I think they were both better when they were separate companies, however both would have sunk pretty early with the massive costs of RPG like games.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

Looks pretty unanimous so far...
