I never said that FF and Square was the SOLE reason why Nintendo won the SNES/Sega era, I'm saying that they helped gain Nintendo much success back in the day. If Square didn't exist Nintendo would've been victorious over Sega anyway, that's not the point. Nintendo wouldn't of had AS much success is what I'm saying. The same thing could be said about a series like GTA for the PS2. More than likely Sony would've won that console generation even if GTA3, Vice city and SA didn't exist. Your post wasn't exactly referring to what I meant. I meant more along the lines of the old-school Square fans of FF1-FF6. That's not to say Nintendo fans that have never played FF wouldn't be bitter as well though. |
Dude, Final Fantasy games really didn't have any effect on the SNES. Look how they sold.
Not well. Back then Square got like no recognition outside of the niche RPG fanbase. I'm sure most of the base is happy that Square is finally getting the acclaim it deserves, they're just miffed it's for the wrong games.
