In your opinion,were Square and Enix better before they merged?

Before. The golden age of square was the SNES + PS1 era.

They made awesome SNES games, kept making awesome PS1 games (well, Bouncer was dubious) and got mainstream attention.

On the PS2, the only game I'd consider on par with their PS1 days is FF10, and even that falls short a little bit. KH might too, but come on, Disney?

So Square went downhill after the merger, but the trend started well before the merger.

And Enix, well, I dont know them as well but from what I remember, their games have always been pretty similar, lots and lots of grinding. Though it seems after the Square merger Enix became a bit more merciful.
