I agree in part. I hate Enix and blame the merger for Square's downfall. Square used to be an awesome company which made great games like Vagrant Story and Parasite Eve on top of the Final Fantasy games and all the rest. Since merging with Enix the quality has dropped, the cash in rehashes have increased and I can't think of a single great Square Enix game over the last 5 years they have been merged. I can think of at least 20 great Square games (Secret of Mana, FF1,4,6,7,X,X-2, Vagrant Story, Front Mission 4, Parasite Eve 1 and 2, Kingdom Hearts, ect ect) but can't think of a single great Enix game though Star Ocean 2 comes closest. I know some will say the dragonquest games, but I always found them inferior to Final Fantasy and Square games. Play Dragon Warrior 1 and 2 then Play Final Fantasy 1 and you'll see what I mean. Enix was always a hack company that didn't even develop its own games (it was 90% publisher). I really really miss Square and have an increasing hatred of Square Enix. If only Sony had bought 50% of Square instead of 15% after the Final Fantasy Spirits Within mistake. |
Merging with Enix didn't make the average quality drop. The problem was that many of their best game designers left the company before or after the merger, most notably, Hironobu Sakaguchi
