Square or Enix

Hmm... well, through the SNES days, I probably would have said Square. But then Square crashed hard and sold out in the PS1 era, which Enix didn't do. So I'm going to have to say Enix is the better one. They remember what it takes to make a good game, and that it's not just throwing pretty pictures on a screen. I can't help but be worried about the future, though, since while Enix technically bought out Square, it looks like more of Square is coming through the games.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but are you serious about this one? How did Squaresoft sell anyone out? Beyond that, what bad games did Squaresoft make in the PS1 era?

Yeah, I'm serious. Square sold out to graphics. I personally think that FF7 is a travesty. (Yet somehow, they made FF8 even worse.) The game is painfully easy, too linear, and doctored up, all to sell to the masses instead of the games they used to make. It's also when Square started trying to diversify too much, with the entrance of their fighter... and there was something else too that I forget. (Before anyone says something, yes, I know that they did other games such as Rad Racer before FF1. I'm looking at after they became an RPG powerhouse.) I saw FF9 as a throwback to those of us who remembered the days of yore, but it only showed me one thing- they forgot how to make those games addictive like they were in the SNES days. But they saw the higher sales and never looked back. Now it's a case of budgets spiraled out of control again, just like so many other companies that I don't care about. My thoughts on FF13 now? Meh, not interested.
