Fallen Game Franchises

[SaviorX]

Final Fantasy I'd say. It is not only because of the games themselves but the entire situation surrounding them.

This is often repeated, but in the 90s, Squaresoft was at an impeccable level that rivaled (or exceeded) Nintendo in that their games rarely did you wrong, and you would have full confidence that whatever you bought from them would be good.

Maintenance at such a high level is impossible for any entity; no one can stay at the top forever.

HOWEVER
When they became Square Enix, other lesser franchises disappearing under their watch would hav ebeen reasonable. But if any franchise were to retain that magic that made Square great, it would have to be Final Fantasy. As IPs fall by the wayside, they had to have at least retained the excellence of that one series. Granted, Nintendo recently let Zelda slip up, but they have tons of other games, but FF? Unexcusable.

Now, people LAUGH at the series in disrespect. After playing several entries, I would've never imagined that.

The other games listed in this poll, I am not surprised. Things like Bomberman and Silent were never really SUPER popular to begin with. Sonic games are still pretty good; they have at least 1 solid one every 2 years.
