Yeah, I miss the old Squaresoft, it's not that Squeenix has been a bad company, they realeased some good/great games (SO3, FFXII, TWEWY), but they don't have anymore the masterful quality and quantity they had in the PS era (FFVII, FFVIII, Tactics, Chrono Cross, etc.)

It's what you get when you merge with the company that makes Dragon Quest

Hah! Nice shot at DQ, I'm pretty sure that wasn't the reason though

OT: I know what you're talking about. I haven't thoroughly played their PS RPG's, but when I play their stuff from the SNES era I often think, "why can't they still make games like this?" Hell, Secret of Mana recently came out on the VC, there's a perfect example.

I don't think it's so much the performance of the PS3, it probably has more to do with the HD graphics. They also seem to have lost most of their talent... who knows where they are. If the team that did FFX is still there, they haven't done anything notable in 7 years - it makes me skeptical of FFXIII. They don't even do SO or DQ (done by tri-ace/Level 5), so all that leaves us with is the KH team and whoever did FFXII (scratch that if Matsuno was what people liked about it, because he left). That isn't much to look forward to.

I was wondering if anyone would note the shot.

Still, why I was kidding about that, it may be some of the reason, think about it, we have Square, that keeps pumping one amazing game after another, reinventing itself, setting new standars with every game, and then they merge with a company whose flagship series is one that it's 8th game has a story and gameplay that for me couldn't even be consireded good in the the NES era. I wonder if Enix has been responsible of slowing Square down, and that once amazing company has been reduced to do remake after remake, with great games far and between

 

 

I second this. DQVIII and DQIX look exactly the same. No 2 FFs  look the same.
