No....since they theve decided to drop all there creative talent to instead rerelease Ports, remakes,...they sold out to greed..has nothing to do with consoles

Square Enix, themselves, has never actually made any of those remakes. They always outsource them to a smaller company to do it. They did the same in PS1 era, and still do it today. They do it now, because they can afford to sponsor projects for them by other devs.

The creative team that makes the main games is still there.

               The quality IS there, but the number of games they are using it for is dwindling by each generation. As this happens, there is also more ports, remakes, and spinoffs each generation. I could probably name a few good new ips a year from Square Enix starting from the start of the Snes to the end of the PS1. Then maybe 1-2 once the PS2 comes buy. Now I could probably only name 4-5 since the generation started, half of those probably not even releasing out of Japan. Instead they would rather use their resources(even if they don't develop it) on spinoffs of spinoffs, and ports of remakes. Not only that, but we won't be seeing any main series games until about 3/4ths through this generation. In comparison, they've always released 3 numbered Final Fantasies until the PS2(I don't count FFXII because they used the number only to get sales, same thing for XIV). This generation we get 1 numbered final fantasy and tons of spinoffs of that final fantasy. That is pretty pathetic imo. To be honest, why couldn't they make versus FFXIV? It was probably because they thought(or maybe still think) that FFXIII will make a name for itself larger than any other final fantasy, and they want their other games to thrive off of it. They know it works, because they did the same thing with FFVII. The enix part of the company is also in the same situation, except they never made their games in the first place so we still see more from them than the square part. So yes the quality is still there, but the quantity isn't, and we are waiting a hell of a long time for the quality to come. Btw this isn't to say that those spinoffs and remakes aren't fun, no of course not, but there is just so many spinoffs you can play and you can only buy a game so many times before you get tired doing so. Hopefully after they finish the sink hole that is the FFXIII series they could get somewhat closer to their former self.
