Oh, how I lament the Squaresoft of old... I'm playing Mystic Quest on my Game Boy right now... So many memories...


Squaresoft had a lot of bad games. Mystic Quest (Snes) being one of them, Ergheiz (the console version was an extremely gimped in comparison to the Arcade), The Bouncer and Unlimited Saga are amongst some of the collection of bad Square games. 

And S-E has good games too, just not in the same quantity and quality as Square and Enix had before the merge.

That's true, Squaresoft sure was not oblivious to bad games. Their games though catered more to the Japanese market and thus, me. SE nowadays tries too much to blend into Western development companies, thus all the action scenes, cut scenes, multiplayer, episodic content, supporting 360, etc.

Yup, I agree completely. Thankfully, for the handheld part, they have kept their original structure and have not deviated from their Japanese catered spirit. That's why I still appreciate them a lot, not only have they released amazing games for DS/PSP, they still have some pretty darn good ones in the future


Mystic Quest dosent count, it was made by Square of America, not of JP origin. Sqauresoft rocked: Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Parasite Eve and of course the Yatsumi Matsuno masterpiece that was Vagrant Story.i probabily missed a few...

A lot of people seem to blaming Wada, and i agree to an extent, but he wouldnt be forced to make these decisions if FF13 was more successful. and whether or not people think it was good or not, imo it was not what it couldve been. if Kitase and Toriyama didnt fuck up, (which they did), then Wada wouldnt be forced into making decisions to appeal to the western auidence.
