Eidos is S-E's saving grace.  Arkham Asylum is the only AAA title from the publisher.

Then again, a publisher shouldn't be judged by its metacritic score but rather its memorable titles.  Outside of FFXIII and a few fan favorites like The Last Remnant and Star Ocean: The Last Hope, I doubt that Square has any.


And their Handheld titles aren't memorable?

Apparently to Boutros, it's not a good game from Atlus if it's not a JRPG.  Demon's Souls and 3D Dot Game Heroes don't count to him.



Pixel Art can be fun.

Quite a few are memorable because they're originally games from the 20th Century that we remembered when Square-Enix repackaged them on handhelds.

They were not made by Atlus. I'm talking about Atlus as a developer.

Actually DQIX is pretty much the most massive JRPG ever released by S-E. I'm at 50 hours and i'm barely scratching it's surface, nor have I reached mid-game, since i'm trying out all options in vocations and treasure challenges. 

FF:CC is probably the best FF spin-off ever released too, and yes, I'm pitting it against Tactics as well. 

TWETY is a masterpiece and one of the best DS games.

Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals, 3rd Birthday and KH:BBS look to be at least on par with the quality of previous entries of those series.

That's a bit unfair. True, they've had quite a number of remakes of previous successful games, but they've also created better sequels/continuations of their staple series and pretty good spin-offs as well. 

In terms of unique and original series/IPs, that I can agree that they're lacking, in comparison to previous gens.

Yeah but let's look on the console front now.
